Our Sustainability Report demonstrates our achievements and ambitions for our 3-pillar strategy across the Crown Group.  

Crown Fine Art work closely with the other UK & Ireland brands on our sustainability agenda. We are also part of the global Crown Worldwide family, a fair and supportive employer with a strong commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion as well as staff wellbeing. As part of the Crown Worldwide Group, we are a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). We gain UN approval of our annual sustainability report and our chairman’s formal commitment to the UNGC's ten principles, covering human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. We have set goals in each of these areas and publicly report on our progress annually.

Support and empower employees within and beyond the workplace, benefiting all those who work for us whilst enabling our business to innovate and succeed

We have long been committed to prioritising employee wellbeing and have strong foundations in place.

We are reviewing PULSE survey results and seeking best practice recommendations to develop a plan to support employee health and wellbeing in the long term.

We want to build on our progress in equality, diversity and inclusion to date and are working to understand the equality and accessibility challenges in our communities.

We are working with our partners to develop a plan to deepen our positive impacts, both internally and externally, ensuring our workforce reflects the communities we operate in.

We know that, for these three pillars to be central to our business, personal development programmes need to reflect the premise that sustainability is everybody’s role now.

We have developed a training and development plan to drive sustainability knowledge and awareness across the workforce, appropriate to roles and functions.

Collaborate to understand and meet the needs of our wider communities, and have a positive impact on society

  

Recognise the positive impact we can have, beyond our business operations, to support charities and those in need, and empower our employees to volunteer their skills and passions to give back to our communitie. All our employees are given two paid days off a year to volunteer with a charity close to their heart. We want to make more of this initiative and to ensure it has a genuine impact. We also want to go further to support charities, schools and social enterprises. Already operating the very successful Giving Back Project, we are extending this donation initiative and embedding it across all Crown UK & Ireland brands.

As we continue to innovate and build a responsible business, share our knowledge and experiences to enable, encourage and support our supply chain and stakeholders. With our progressive and ambitious approach to responsible business, we want to share our knowledge and drive the agenda much more widely. We will continue to be active members in Business in the Community and feed into the wider industry groups within which we operate to support more sustainable outcomes from collaboration.

Create fulfilling jobs and inspiring opportunities, and make meeting wider community needs an integral part of our service provision so that we, and our clients, create extensive social value through our everyday business. We believe that one of the best ways we can support our community is through jobs and opportunities. As with all our pillars, we want to understand where our communities need our support and build on our existing successes to achieve more. To achieve this, we are working with Business in The Community to develop a social impact strategy.
