Our workforce stands as our most valuable asset, and the foundation of our culture and success lies in the diverse qualities, knowledge, and unique talents that each employee contributes to the workplace. We understand the significant impact the physical and mental well-being of our team has on various aspects of business success, including employee retention, innovation, and collaboration.
Committed to fostering a healthy work-life balance and ensuring our employees feel acknowledged and valued, we implemented several initiatives globally in 2022. These initiatives aimed to underscore the importance of self-care and concern for others. Additional efforts to support employee well-being included family days, cook-out events, and health fairs, all designed to express appreciation and enhance engagement.
In Wantage, U.K., our site organized the Company’s inaugural Mental Health & Well-being Day. This event, led by the Mental Health Working Group formed post-COVID-19 lockdowns, covered topics such as healthy eating, weight management, anxiety, depression, and financial wellness. The newly formed team, including Mental Health First Aiders, provides confidential advice and resources for colleagues facing mental health challenges. Year-round activities organized by the team encompass webinars, mental health awareness talks, promotion of the Employee Assistance Program, and compiling mental health resources on our Intranet.
Crown plants in Kankakee, Illinois, and Toledo, Ohio, organized voluntary weight loss competitions to encourage health and well-being. Remarkably, participants from the Toledo facility collectively achieved a 30% reduction in body weight.
Family days at our facilities in Bowling Green, Kentucky, and Martinsville, Virginia, featured diverse activities, including watching Minor League Baseball and partnering with the local NASCAR racetrack, respectively. In Custines, France, a family day centered around fairground attractions also served as an opportunity to educate attendees about metal packaging recycling. A specially designed aluminum can with an augmented reality experience added an element of fun and engagement to the recycling message.
In the Spotlight: Diversity & Inclusion
Crown is dedicated to mirroring the diversity of the communities we serve. Our unwavering commitment lies in cultivating a work environment that is both diverse and inclusive, enabling individuals to unlock their full potential and express their creativity. Over the long term, our employees embody the essence of our culture and aspirations, actively contributing to the construction of our sustainable future.

Our pride in early achievements propels us forward as we remain resolute in realizing the objectives set during the establishment of our Twentyby30™ sustainability program.
Our aspirations persist, and we continue to pursue our journey guided by the following objectives:
