PORTLAND, ORE. — Organic kombucha and tea leader Brew Dr. Kombucha announces plans to become carbon neutral by 2030. Their announcement to prioritize carbon neutral operations is part of several Brew Dr. initiatives underway in celebration of B Corp Month in March.
Brew Dr. is the first major kombucha company to become B Corp certified, designating that the business meets high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency across several social and environmental categories.
“Certified B Corps are considered leaders in the global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy, and we take that responsibility very seriously.” says Dan Stangler, CEO of Brew Dr. “Adjusting our operations to achieve carbon neutrality is the clear path for Brew Dr. to continue proudly upholding our mission of doing our best for people and the plant.”
Brew Dr. currently offsets all scope 1 and 2 emissions for operations. They plan to cover 15% of the larger scope 3 neutrality by the end of 2022, and entirely offset scope 3 emissions by 2030.
The company has also set a goal to complete 100 hours of community service in March for B-Corp Month, including teaming up with fellow Certified B Corporation, Patagonia, and local nonprofit, Willamette Riverkeepers, for a Day of Service on March 30th.
Operating brewing facilities that utilize creative ways to recycle water and heat, involving employees in decision making, and partnering with local environmental and social justice nonprofits are some of the many examples of Brew Dr.’s year-round commitment to their company values.
