Golden UK & Ireland team see carbon emissions drop significantly


Emissions falling two years ahead of target


In the UK & Ireland, Crown Worldwide Group again achieved the prestigious gold Ecovadis rating in 2023, placing it in the top five per cent of responding companies.


It also retained a position on the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) B-list.


The UK – which makes up just over 20% of Crown Worldwide Group’s global revenue – is making great progress towards a 2040 net zero target, developed as part of its responsible business strategy. This incorporates a carbon reduction plan and since setting a


baseline based on the carbon footprint of 2019, the UK team has reduced Scope One and Two emissions by 52 per cent – two years ahead of schedule. In 2024, a target will be set for the reduction of Scope Three emissions.


17 out of the UK’s 18 facilities are now powered by 100 per cent renewable electricity. Solar panels have been installed at five sites, and more will follow in 2024. This contributed to a 38 per cent reduction in grid electricity usage.


Seven electric vehicles are now in operation and there are electric charging points at seven sites.
