SUSTAINABILITY
and fundamentally change everything as we aspire to set a new global standard for sustainability. We will be completely transparent and open in everything we do. We will share the good and the bad in all its gory details. We also commit to working with the best and most progressive minds in this fight, including working closer with our lead scientific advisor, Professor Mike Berners- Lee. Making sure that we and future generations have a planet to brew beer is the single biggest focus of BrewDog – forever.
Now carbon negative
In August 2020, we announced that BrewDog is the world’s first carbon negative beer company. We double offset our scope 1, 2 and upstream scope 3 carbon. This means that we also include all of the carbon in our supply chain too. BrewDog works with Berners-Lee in calculating our carbon footprint as well as designing our removal initiatives.
We now remove twice as much carbon from our atmosphere than we emit each year, while simultaneously doing all we can to drive our emissions to zero.
Introducing the forest
Our carbon emissions are our problem. So, we are going to own the solution and fix the problem ourselves.
Brewdog’s carbon reduction plan
We are working on a fast-track for our 24- month plan to reduce the carbon footprint of our operations, along with our journey to become zero-waste.
Green energy: we turn the main natural by- product of beer making – malted barley – into green gas (biomethane), therefore, removing any reliance on fossil fuels in the brewing process.
Wind powered: all of the electricity used to brew Brewdog beer in the UK comes directly from local wind turbines. Never have we appreciated the Scottish weather more. Our bars are now powered by wind turbines too.
Anaerobic digestor bio-plan: 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 hydrogen and biomethane to be reused is set to be operational by 2021.
Electric delivery fleet: we are fast-tracking the electrification of our vehicle fleet and our first fully electric delivery vehicles will hit the streets in 2020.
fermentation recovery: one of the by-products of fermentation is CO2 working on capturing the CO2
CO2 . We are produced during
fermentation and using this downstream to carbonate our beers.
