SUSTAINABILITY

04.

The beer and pub sector has an excellent track record on environmental and sustainability issues. It is a key driver of sustainable, often local, supply chains, including agriculture and farming.

The industry remains committed to reducing its environmental impact and playing its part in tackling climate change, and contributing its knowledge and expertise to the ongoing debate on sustainability issues. (Could we link to Brewing Green here? – BBPA document https://brewinggreen.org)
Sustainability Beyond Brewing
Community-Centric Initiatives: Breweries like Guinness in Nigeria are creating water access projects as part of their corporate social responsibility.
Further Ideas: Brewers could sponsor local agriculture initiatives, helping farmers transition to organic practices in exchange for sustainable ingredient sourcing.
Carbon Capture Technology: Some breweries are exploring capturing CO2 released during fermentation for use in carbonation or agriculture.
Future Scope: Partner with carbon credit programs to offset emissions from delivery and logistics.
