Project Overview: 

As one of the largest craft brewers in the country, we depend on clean watersheds, stable ecosystems, and happy, healthy employees. That’s why we’re committed to tracking and managing our impact, curbing our emissions, and enhancing our local communities. Together, with our suppliers, partners, and employees, we believe we can do more than brew great beer…we want to leave a legacy of environmental and community stewardship!

"We’re focused on going beyond waste diversion and taking a holistic view of our entire resource life cycle with the goal of creating zero waste. Looking more broadly at all areas of our business where materials are key to the process will require a lot of work, but we’re excited to start building a roadmap for even more sustainable improvements in the future." -Julia Person, Sustainability Manager, Widmer Brothers Brewing
