Crown Holdings’ two facilities in Thailand obtain ASI Performance Standard V2 (2017) Certifications

Aluminium Stewardship Initiative has recognised Crown Holdings, Inc.’s two beverage cans manufacturing facilities in Nong Khae District, Thailand, with Performance Standard V2 (2017) Certifications. Crown Bevcan and Closures (Thailand) Co., Ltd. and Crown TCP Beverage Cans Company Limited have received certifications for manufacturing aluminium cans for the food and beverage packaging industry.

Crown Bevcan and Closures has a production capacity of 1.2 billion units per year, and Crown TCP has an output capacity of 820 million units annually.

Crown’s operations in Brazil and Mexico also achieved Performance Standard Certifications earlier.

The independent, third-party audit of the Crown Holdings, Inc. facilities were done by LiberoAssurance. The audit occurred before May 31, 2023; therefore, the facilities received ASI Performance Standard V2 Certifications.

The ASI Performance Standard V2 (2017) sets out 59 criteria under three sustainability pillars of Environment, Social, and Governance, addressing key issues like biodiversity, labour rights, Indigenous People's rights, and greenhouse gas emissions.

On receiving the certification, Carlos Baila, President of Asia Pacific at Crown, said: “Achieving this ASI certification is another proof point of our dedication to maintaining reputable supply chain relationships and meeting the evolving needs of brands in the Asia Pacific market. We are committed to operating ethically and remaining accountable to our own standards, as well as those of our partners, as we continue to serve customers around the world.”

Fiona Solomon, Chief Executive Officer at ASI, commented: “We warmly congratulate Crown Holdings, Inc. for achieving Performance Standard Certification at two of its plants in Thailand. By training employees around vital sustainability areas such as biodiversity, safety, and human rights, Crown is driving positive change within its operations. Through this latest Certification in Thailand, Crown is extending its commitment to responsible practices and we look forward to the company’s continued pursuit of ASI Certification across its global operations.”
