Planet
In 2020 we reduced our own emissions by 35% per litre of beer. We did this by switching to renewable energy, cutting air travel and using electric delivery vehicles. What we can’t reduce, we double offset through the very best planting schemes with trusted partners around the world.
CUTTING OUR EMISSIONS
Every year, we diligently calculate our emissions, and release the details in our MEGA report. We also aren’t ones to mark our own homework, so we’ve also been third-party accredited by Positive Planet for the past 2 years and are aiming to achieve this again for 2023. We count all our carbon – scopes 1, 2 and 3 - and invest heavily in reducing and removing emissions wherever possible. Read all about it in our latest MEGA report.
Lost Forest
In 2020, we purchased a 9,308 acre plot of land in the Scottish Highlands. In 2022 we begin planting our own trees on this land, embarking on one of the largest reforestation and peatland restoration projects the UK has ever seen.
Anaerobic Digestion Plant
Water is one of the most precious resources and the supply is under increasing pressure. But, we won’t waste a drop — an anaerobic digester bio-plant that turns our waste brewery water into pure H2O and biomethane to be re-used is set to be operational in 2022!
