In the News: BIER Mentioned by Absolut Vodka and the Carlsberg Group

The Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER) works to advance the beverage sector’s environmental sustainability through the collaboration of our members, our best practice development, and the tools we provide to the sector and beyond. We are pleased to see that mission in action, as seen most recently in the news for several leading beverage companies: Absolut Vodka and the Carlsberg Group.

Absolut Vodka, owned by Pernod Ricard (a BIER member company), is conducting a creative transparency campaign around their sustainability program success. In an Environmental Leader article published just last week, BIER’s Water and Energy Use Benchmarking Report was mentioned at the top of Absolut Vodka’s list for key aspects of their “one source” sustainability approach. 

The Carlsberg Group, another BIER member company, celebrated the release of their 2017 Sustainability Report this week. As part of the extensive report noting Carlsberg’s continued progress toward their new “Together Towards ZERO” sustainability program, their participation in BIER was called out under the “Influential Leadership” section
