Planted trees and habitats

This ethos has seen us prioritise biodiversity on our organic brewery farm, where we have planted thousands of native trees, created wetland habitats and shunned pesticides and herbicides in favour of insects, wildflowers and weeds.

Earned B Corp certification

Earning our B Corp certification in March 2023 was an important milestone on our sustainability journey. B Corp certification is awarded to companies that meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.
