FRAGILE

We are keenly aware that Crown producesgreenhouse gas emissions through vehicle fuelconsumption and also through electricity use at itsoffi ces and facilities.A secondary but signifi cant impact is found insourcing, composition and waste management relatedto packing materials.The company collects data on all of the above areasin a natural resources consumption database. Thedatabase offers a consistent global view of businessenergy use and emissions with comparisons betweenlocations, regions and seasons. This last aspect is themore meaningful because of the seasonality of someof Crown’s businesses.OUR REDTRUCKS AREGOING GREENAlthough we have long operated low-emissionsvehicles, our investment in a new, energy-effi cient,hybrid fl eet of trucks will bring further improvementsin fuel use and reduced vehicle emissions.The quality of the data held in the system hasimproved steadily, attributable to improvements inthe system and training on correct reporting.In the third quarter of 2012, information from fullyreporting businesses show an improved effi ciencyfrom 8% to 20% compared to the previous 12months in the following areas:• Electricity use per square meter of facility space• Vehicle fuel effi ciency• Offi ce paper use per employee• Water use per employeelowerfuelconsumptionfeweremissions
