Working Together

That is why we have taken numerous steps to protect the safety, health and welfare of our team members around the world. With an aspirational goal to assure we cause no harm to our people, we have made our Total Safety Culture an integral part of our operating philosophy. This approach is built into every one of our processes, procedures and systems and into the attitudes and values of every employee.

We also view a diverse and inclusive workforce as critical to our future business success. We know that drawing from diverse backgrounds and points of view fosters innovation and creativity, enhancing the products and services we can offer to customers and setting new industry standards. Diverse experiences also help create resilient organizations with stronger governance and problem-solving skills. Research has also shown that diverse organizations outperform those that do not invest in diversity and that employees consider societal impact as the number one indicator of success for their organization, underscoring the importance of encouraging active employee engagement in corporate sustainability initiatives.

Our 2030 Goals

Learn how each of these goals aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We are committed to nurturing a safe, diverse and inclusive workplace where new ideas and innovative thinking are encouraged and rewarded. Based on these priorities, we have established the following social goals for the program:

Taking Action

We will continue to elevate our safety and diversity standards and practices, along with our focus on building an engaging work environment. Prioritizing these aspects of the business not only attracts the best and brightest talent but supports our employees so they can be their authentic selves, do their best work and empower them to be part of the progress made in their environments and communities. To achieve these goals, we will:

Our Sustainability Stories: Progress in Practice

back to top

Our employees and operations around the world are already doing their part when it comes to climate action. Here are just a few examples of how they are making a difference:

Twentyby30 Charitable Giving Program

We recently established our Twentyby30 Charitable Giving program to support organizations and charities in the local communities in which we operate. The organizations we donate to are nominated by employees across our global operations and often represent meaningful personal connections. We are proud to be an employer that supports our employees by helping the people and places that they care about most and to help fund projects that might otherwise not be possible.

Best Practices Program

As part of our commitment to accelerate sustainability, we actively call on our employees to create and share best practices and project efforts that improve efficiencies and processes that can yield benefits to our customers worldwide.

Helping Women Reach Their Full Potential

At Crown, we believe D&I is critical to our business success. We strive to create an environment where every individual within the Company has the opportunity to fulfill their full potential. To reach parity, we are committed to providing flexibility, support and creating opportunities for everyone, especially women across the world. Discover our continuing video series highlighting the inspirational stories of women working at Crown.

Connecting with Culture

After identifying local projects for children and teenagers with disabilities, team members in our Cabreuva, Brazil facility invested in several partnerships to strengthen resources and give back to the community. Two projects designed to promote music culture and education included dance classes and musical instrument lessons. A third project involved a basketball program that trained wheelchair users in the sport. As a result of the plant’s participation in the programs, around 100 individuals were connected with new skills and opportunities and were able to improve their physical and mental health, socialization and self-esteem.

Driving Healthcare Support

As part of its Health Initiative Program, associates in our Korinthos, Greece plant organized a blood donation drive in early 2020 in collaboration with Korinthos General Hospital to combat a supply shortage in the province and help meet extreme transfusion needs. Specialized doctors were on site to answer questions, educate employees about the benefits of blood donation and to help conduct the drive.
