Crown advances its commitment to the circular economy by joining the ellen macarthur foundation network

Crown will collaborate with the Network’s global thought leaders to identify innovative solutions to support the transition to a circular economy. In keeping with its sustainable metal packaging technologies and global environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals, Crown Holdings has joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation Network.

This network brings together companies, innovators, universities and opinion leaders to build and scale a circular economy. Designed to address issues of critical global importance, the programme sets out 20 measurable targets to be achieved by 2030 or sooner, including a dedicated pillar of action on Optimal Circularity.

%22The global linear economy allows for the consumption and waste of more resources than the Earth can provide, making it abundantly clear that the world’s manufacturers must start down a new path toward a circular economy,%22 says John Rost, Ph.D., vice president, Global Sustainability and Regulatory Affairs at Crown.

Finally, as a member of the network, Crown will collaborate with other organizations to innovate, develop and implement circular economy solutions. In addition, becoming a member of the Foundation’s network enhances the steps for Crown’s Twenty by 30 sustainability program to help solve a number of environmental challenges, including climate change, water scarcity and natural resource depletion.
