Throughout our history, Crown has taken great pride in maintaining the highest ethical standards and company integrity. We have worked to comply with laws and regulations, to maintain positive relationships with suppliers and customers, to be a good corporate citizen, and to treat our employees, customers, suppliers and stakeholders fairly and with respect. Our employees have built our outstanding reputation by remaining committed to doing what is right every time.
Crown has always promoted, and will continue to promote, our “Open Door Policy” for our employees and for third parties, such as dealers and suppliers. If an employee is aware of any activity related to work that he or she questions or believes is inappropriate, we encourage the employee to discuss the concerns with his or her Supervisor, Manager, Human Resources, or Compliance & Ethics. Likewise, we encourage third parties to have open and honest discussions with their contacts at Crown and to discuss any activity that they believe is inappropriate with respect to their dealings with Crown.
We recognize that there are times when using the “Open Door Policy” may be uncomfortable or inappropriate. Therefore, Connect with Crown is available for confidential and anonymous reporting of potential violations of our Code of Conduct or unethical behavior and for asking questions relating to our Code of Conduct. Connect with Crown is hosted by a third-party hotline provider, Navex/EthicsPoint, and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
