Sustainability
Triple Bottom Line
Great Lakes Brewing Company is an environmentally and socially conscious brewer of award-winning, all natural beer. The care that goes into our beer resonates from a commitment to the community and environment, otherwise known as the "Triple Bottom Line" - to engage in economic, social and environmental practices that achieve a sustainable, yet profitable, business.
Looking from the outside, it can seem that the commitments to environment, society and growth can be in conflict with one another. But rather than imposing restrictions on our business, looking through the lens of sustainability allows us to fire on many cylinders: conserving resources (both natural and financial), steadily expanding our business year after year through the combined contributions of an engaged staff, and reinvesting our company’s earnings in local economies and organizations.
Knowing that sustainability is always a work-in-progress, we’re proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish, but also candid about the challenges we still face. Read more about our initiatives or grab a pint and read our full sustainability report.
