ClubCOLLECTIVE March 2021
In 2020, Lion became Australia's first large-scale carbon neutral brewer. By complementing its ambitious carbon reduction program with the acquisition of certified carbon credits, Lion has now offset its remaining organisational footprint across its Australian beer business.
In 2015 Lion set a target to reduce its carbon footprint by 30 per cent by 2025. Lion has established a ‘whole brewery’ carbon reduction approach across all of its Australian breweries. With a focus on, energy efficiency initiatives, biogas utilisation, rooftop solar, renewable energy power purchase agreements and providing brewers grain to reduce livestock emissions.
We see offsetting our emissions as a last lever while we continue to look for ways to reduce our overall carbon emissions right across our supply chain in the longer term.
Lion breweries continue to push the boundaries of efficiency and adopt industry-leading innovation. Speed is of the essence in stabilising the climate. That is why we are effectively throwing a safety net over our remaining operational CO2 footprint - giving consumers the confidence that our range of fantastic beers – from XXXX GOLD, to Tooheys New and Little Creatures - will be produced in carbon neutral breweries.
Lion has also committed to using 100 per cent renewable electricity to brew its beers by 2025.
