More and more businesses, including the craft beer industry, have begun taking new approaches in developing methods to increase their efficiency, while taking on an ecological responsibility. Having a sustainability program is more than just a fad or buzz word to grab your attention and make you feel good. When a sustainability program becomes part of your organizations brand essence, it has the ability to improve your brand image, all while creating a competitive edge.
