Season of Sustainability: Crown's Commitment on World Environment Day and Beyond
Alongside the launch of our 2024 Sustainability Report, "Built to Last," we marked World Environment Day (WED) with a Company-wide period dedicated to sustainability. WED is a vital global observance that reminds us all of the importance of protecting our environment-not just one day a year, but every day.
For Crown, sustainability isn't a one-time initiative-it's a mindset. It is embedded in our corporate values and reflected in our ambitious Twentyby30 goals. Our commitment to environmental responsibility continues to shape how we operate, innovate, and engage.
A key driver of our progress is our people. We're proud of how our employees across the globe have dedicated their time, ideas and energy to sustainability-focused projects. These efforts go beyond compliance-they reflect a genuine investment in a better future and demonstrate how sustainability can be seamlessly woven into both professional practices and personal habits.
We're grateful for our employees' passion and want to take a moment to spotlight just a few of their inspiring contributions. Their work not only advances our Twentyby30 program but also strengthens a culture of proactive, responsible action.
As we move through the rest of the year, Crown will continue to support and expand these initiatives-working together to drive real, lasting impact.
