New Belgium’s commitment to environmental accountability starts at the foundation of their corporate structure. Before brewing their first beer, New Belgium’s Co-Founders took a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park in 1991 to determine a set of core values the company would adhere to. Born that day was the mantra we inspire environmental change, honoring Earth’s natural resources to brew beer and power us as humans. Keeping to that promise, New Belgium became a certified B Corporation in 2012, was the 1st wind-powered brewery in the United States, developed the 1st carbon-neutral footprint study for beer, released the country’s first certified carbon-neutral beer, and remains a vocal advocate for policy change in the arena of climate action. Each year, coworkers enjoy Earth Day as a paid holiday, encouraging them to get outside and, this year, maybe even enjoy the wildlife in their natural habitats.
