Crown Ranked by Sustainalytics in Sustainability

Sustainalytics has ranked Crown Holdings, Inc. at the top of the Containers & Packaging category in the latest ESG Risk Rating, an industry-wide assessment of corporate sustainability performance.

After receiving positive marks across multiple areas of measurement, Crown leads its peer group of 105 organizations and represents one of only 3% of more than 16,200 assessed companies to attain an overall Negligible risk score.

This rating from Sustainalytics underscores the comprehensive design and current impact of Crown’s ongoing Twentyby30 program, which aims to achieve 20 measurable sustainability goals to be completed by or before the end of 2030 and focuses on areas of critical concern to the industry.

“Receiving a top industry ranking from Sustainalytics acknowledges Crown’s efforts to meet stakeholder expectations and continue driving a business that performs from every angle,” said John Rost, Ph.D., SVP, Crown technology, global sustainability and regulatory affairs.

“By scoring strongly across multiple categories, including safety, governance and others, we are demonstrating our commitment to making maximum impact not just in the traditional areas like GHG emissions reductions, but within every capacity possible,” Dr. Rost added. “This comprehensive effort is what bolsters our ability to operate a responsible, healthy organization long-term.”

Notable in Crown’s assessment are relatively low exposure levels for various areas of concern including emissions, effluents and waste, carbon footprint and resource use, meaning Sustainalytics does not view Crown’s business as being inherently risky or damaging for the environment.
