Sustainability

Britain’s brewing and pub industry is innovative, ambitious and a sector fit for the future, progressing sustainability is a key pillar of our work alongside our members.

We are at a pivotal moment, with an opportunity to protect our planet. Our breweries and pubs have an important part to play in this.

We support our members on their net zero journeys, provide guidance on key waste and packaging policies, and engage with Government on the important role they have to play in ensuring our breweries and pubs can meet sustainability targets for the good of our planet.
