Crown Holdings, Inc., of Yardley, achieved a “negligible risk” rating from Sustainalytics, a Netherlands-based corporate sustainability ratings service. The evaluation looks at corporate tactics for mitigating environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks.

Crown Holdings supplies protective packaging products made primarily from metal or glass. Its status in Sustainalytics’ negligible risk category is a professional recognition earned by only about one percent of global corporations.

The ranking flows from Crown’s work around climate change, product stewardship, and resource efficiency — all offshoots of its Twentyby30 sustainability program. This initiative outlines 20 measurable ESG goals to be completed by 2030, if not sooner.

Since launching the initiative, the company has elevated an array of sustainability commitments. These include reducing its carbon footprint and fostering responsibility, resource efficiency, and safety across its value chain.

“Minimizing our ESG risks and combatting the effects of climate change are two commitments central to our continued evolution as a corporation,” said Dr. John M. Rost, Vice President, Global Sustainability and Regulatory Affairs at Crown. “To be recently recognized for our leading performance … reinforces our approach to sustainability and the targets we are setting on a global level.

“We look forward to making greater progress against our goals and to moving the needle even further within our market,” he concluded.
