ENVIRONMENT

As part of our Environment and Social strategy driver, we’re building a plan of initiatives across the business to reduce our environmental impact. Below are some examples of how these are coming to life within Brewing & Brands…

Check out the new electric van at Hen Hall. This conversion to an electric vehicle supports our plans to reduce carbon emissions as we strive towards being net zero.

In a bid to reduce the carbon footprint of deliveries to Bury Brewery, we partnered with Boortmalt who now deliver our white malts in an electric vehicle. This means 95%-98% of our deliveries to the brewery are emissions free.

The new kegging line at Belhaven has reduced emissions and transport costs

Our brewing process is 20% more efficient compared to previous years with the team constantly looking at ways to reduce how much water and energy we use throughout the process.

Belhaven Brewery have also upgraded their brewery boilers, which has an expected fuel saving of 10% and have also installed a new air compressor, which offers savings of up to 15% on energy from what was previously used.

A word from Iain Murison, Head of Safety, Health & Environment...

‘Our emphasis behind environmental performance is gaining momentum as we constantly look at ways to improve what we are doing. We continue to be accredited to environmental performance standards such as ISO: 14001; we support government initiatives for energy saving, continue to monitor our emissions, support biodiversity projects, actively participate at the zero-carbon forum, have established working groups looking at sustainable farming and the supply chain, all of which combine to make a lasting and real effect. This innovative work continues for B&B as the environment becomes ever more integrated into business decisions.’
