What It Means to Be a B Corp Brewery
Achieving B Corp certification is no small feat. It stands as a testament to a company’s commitment to not only excellence in their craft but also to their role as a force for good in society. It’s a rigorous process overseen by B Lab, a non-profit organization that sets these high standards. For Lawson’s Finest, it means embodying the spirit of doing well by doing good, leveraging sustainable brewing practices and a deep commitment to their community through initiatives like the Social Impact Program.
Lawson’s Finest Liquids’ Social and Environmental Impact
Front and center in their mission is the Social Impact Program (SIP), which underscores their dedication to advancing healthy communities, economic security, and protection of natural resources. Since its inception in 2018, the SIP has generously donated over $2 million to more than 300 nonprofit organizations. To complement their community efforts, Lawson’s Finest also focuses heavily on Sustainability, from on-campus solar installations that offset 100% of their electricity use to offering Electric vehicle charging stations and collaborating with local farms for waste repurposing.
A Great Place to Work
A happy workforce is key to a successful business, and Lawson’s Finest takes this to heart. With initiatives like the innovative Sipbatical, a month-long break with a stipend for long-serving employees, and a floating DEI holiday, they’re setting new standards for employee welfare in the B Corp Breweries sector.
