Crown Paints Secures Guaranteed Irish Accreditation

Crown Paints are now members of Guaranteed Irish in recognition of its commitment to sustainability and support for communities across Ireland.

Guaranteed Irish has become a national symbol of trust given to businesses that promote sustainable jobs, contribute to local communities, and are committed to Irish provenance.

Crown was recognised by the board of judges for its wide ranging support for initiatives across Ireland as part of its industry-leading environmental and social strategy, Project Possible, which focuses on five key areas of sustainability, charity, community, education and people & culture.

The paint manufacturer is a leader in sustainable production, with ambitious targets to achieve complete carbon neutrality across its own operations by 2026, reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the entire supply chain by 50% by 2030, and be a zero waste to landfill business by 2026, supporting the local workforce. 

Crown’s support for education in Ireland includes championing the next generation of decorating professionals through its fifty-year association with the World Skills Ireland Competition and donations of materials to Painting and Decorating students at the Technological University Dublin.

While the manufacturer’s community and charity support across the country also includes a partnership with Alzheimer’s Association Ireland that sees donation collection boxes at each of its decorating centres, and the pledge of €1,000 funding to local sports clubs and grassroots organisations to complete makeovers of facilities.

Clarke Blair, Commercial Director at Crown Paints Ireland, commented: “We’re extremely proud to be members of Guaranteed Irish, a symbol in recognition of our ongoing work to make a positive difference to people and the planet. 

“Sustainability and support for local communities are huge drivers of everything we do at Crown,
