7 Major Water Stewardship Milestones in the Beverage Industry | BIER Decade in Review

Fetzer Vineyards and Full Sail Brewing: Pioneers in Wastewater Recycling
Water is at the heart of most things we love. Just ask a vintner or a brewmeister.

Surprise! What LCA Reveals about the Built Environment and the Circular Economy
Life cycle assessment (LCA) has gained significant traction in the green building sector as a tool for evaluating the environmental performance of building materials and products, especially since USGBC LEED began recognizing LCA-based Environmental Product Declarations. As manufacturers and stakeholders have learned, LCA supports transparency by providing a holistic, systems-oriented perspective on the environmental and human health impacts associated with resource extraction, production, product use, and product disposal or recycling. Moreover, it is an invaluable tool for assessing the benefits and tradeoffs associated with various “design for environment” solutions aimed at building a more circular economy.

Aside from the long, tied-back hair and subtle earring that project a superficial divergence from the norm, I appear to be the mainstream standard for privilege: straight, white, cisgender male from a socioeconomically stable upbringing.

“Big Data” is a useful tool for rating corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability performance.

Shire Volunteers Give Back to Local Community
Given that there are 30 SeriousFun camps and programs around the world, there are often opportunities for Shire employees to volunteer in their own backyard.

All SeriousFun Children’s Network camps provide life-changing experiences for children living with serious illnesses, totally free of charge.
