Crown Holdings has published its 2025 Sustainability Report, hitting the midpoint of the company’s Twentyby30™ ESG roadmap. The global framework covers 20 measurable sustainability targets for 2030, focusing on climate action, water management, circularity, responsible sourcing and workplace safety. A major 2025 milestone is the successful completion of Crown’s water stewardship goal: the company cut operational water withdrawal by20% globally, even while raising overall production output. In 2025, Crown also obtained official SBTi validation for its near-term carbon targets and net-zero transition path. Additionally, the company issued its first-ever Nature-Related Financial Disclosures to better assess environmental risks and impacts. Beyond internal operational improvements in energy, water and waste reduction, Crown is accelerating supply chain decarbonization by collaborating with suppliers to lower upstream aluminum emissions on a larger scale. Company leadership stated that the solid progress reflects disciplined global execution. Moving forward, Crown will prioritize high-impact areas including water-stressed regions and deeper value-chain engagement to generate more quantifiable sustainability outcomes. The 2025 report complies with GRI Core Standards, UN Global Compact principles, and SASB packaging industry criteria, and aligns with key UN Sustainable Development Goals.

To advance its global decarbonization goals, beverage and packaging equipment provider KHS Group has put a new solar PV system into operation at its Ahmedabad, India manufacturing site. Completed in three months and launched in early March, the system powers the factory’s production and office facilities with renewable energy.   Featuring a capacity of 750.2 kWp, the solar plant generates 1,100 MWh of green electricity annually and cuts the factory’s Scope 2 carbon emissions by up to 1,000 metric tons per year.   Biresh Banerjee, KHS India’s supervisor for sustainability and energy management, noted the project underscores the brand’s commitment to green development and its local leading position in sustainable manufacturing. The installation has boosted the site’s energy self-sufficiency, limiting grid power reliance to just 20%.   Capitalizing on Ahmedabad’s rich solar resources, KHS plans to expand the PV system to 1,051 kWp by 2028. With pre-built supporting infrastructure, the factory will achieve full energy self-sufficiency after the upgrade.

A brewery in California’s Bay Area has developed a more sustainable way to make beer by harvesting carbon dioxide directly from the air.   Based in Alameda, Almanac Beer Company has become the world’s first brewery to carbonate its beer using CO₂ captured from the surrounding atmosphere. The brewery runs a dedicated direct air capture machine onsite that continuously pulls in ambient air to extract carbon dioxide.   The captured CO₂ is purified and converted into food-grade liquid carbon dioxide, which is then used to carbonate its ale beer. Beyond creating the signature fizz and foam, CO₂ also subtly shapes the beer’s flavor profile.   The brewery’s team described the innovative process as groundbreaking and futuristic. By sourcing carbon dioxide from the air instead of traditional industrial supplies, Almanac greatly reduces the carbon footprint of beer production, turning the popular drink into a more environmentally friendly product.
