12 Working Together Emphasizes the importance of the safety, health and welfare of our team members being woven into every aspect of our business, as well as focuses on D&I and active engagement with our workforce. As we closed in on our 2020 goals and began planning for the next decade of progress, we were motivated to accelerate our sustainability commitments. Our robust Twenty by 30 program was born, which includes goals that stretch across the environmental, social and governance (ESG) spectrum and are grounded in our long-standing commitment to driving change. Twenty by 30 encompasses 20 measurable sustainability goals to be completed by or before the end of 2030. The program identifies five distinct pillars of action that represent topics of urgent global concern and reflect the priorities of our internal and external stakeholders. It includes greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions that align with our Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and water stewardship goals, as well as an elevation of our focus on material use efficiency, recycling, responsible and ethical sourcing, and food contact and chemical safety. Additionally, Twenty by 30 tackles meaningful areas of sustainability, such as employee safety and Diversity & Inclusion (D&I). All pillars are underpinned by our well-established governance and ethics principles and practices. Each pillar contains several goals, all set against a 2019 baseline, that together create a framework for larger change. See pages 22–32 of this report for a summary of all 20 goals that make up the Twenty by 30 program and our progress against them. Never Compromise Enacts Crown’s Product Stewardship strategy.

Climate Action Focuses on production efficiency, product and process innovation, strategic material procurement and utilization of renewable electricity. This strategy acknowledges how climate change can have financial impacts on our global business—however, we can create opportunities for growth by proactively mitigating risks throughout our value chain.
