67 Data Collection & Reporting Boundaries The selection of reported content is based on the results of our materiality analysis and the requirements of the GRI Standards. Our 2021 Sustainability Report includes environmental, economic and social (ESG) data from facilities within our three metal packaging operating divisions (Crown Americas, Crown EMEA and Crown Asia Pacific) and our Transit Packaging Division. The data reflects any acquired or divested facilities that were operated by Crown for the reporting period of January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2021. It also includes information from the Company’s regional headquarters locations in Yardley, Pennsylvania (U.S.); Zug, Switzerland; and Singapore; our Research, Development and Engineering Center in Wantage, U.K.; and our regional Centers of Excellence in Singapore, Thailand, Massillon, Ohio (U.S.) and Lancaster, Ohio (U.S.), where engineers specialize in specific packaging technologies. In this reporting period, Crown opened one plant and closed four plants. We also divested 45 plants through the sale of our European tinplate business to KPS Capital Partners. Our Transit Packaging Division also began the process of moving its global headquarters to Tampa, FL, in July 2021. There are no restatements of information provided in previous Crown sustainability reports. External Verification Information provided in our sustainability reporting is subject to internal reviews and, for select data, external assurance. We engaged Lucideon CICS Limited to provide limited assurance in relation to the GRI disclosures made in this report, our total 2021 data for GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3 categories) as well as our 2021 water usage data. The assurance was conducted according to Lucideon’s assurance methodology, based on ISO 14064-3 verifications. A short assurance statement is available for download on our website. Lucideon has also provided GRI verification to the GRI Core Index, Limited Verification. Documentation can be found on our website. We have committed to publishing an annual Sustainability Report, and our next Sustainability Report is scheduled to be published in 2023. Contact Crown Seeking further details?
