The contract has a term of 15 years and becomes effective on July 1, 2020.
Based in Yardley, Pennsylvania, Crown has joined the RE100 initiative, led by The Climate Group and CDP. The campaign brings together businesses committed to 100% renewable electricity, as is the case with the packaging producer, which seeks to achieve that goal by 2050.
The objective for 2020 is 30% and to reach it Crown is considering renewable options in other countries, including Mexico, it said.
