Current Year Reduction Actions

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions from freight.

How We'll Reduce It

We will audit & improve our ordering/purchasing habits to reduce our overall freight cost. E.g. ordering higher qty less often to reduce the number of deliveries.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce single use plastics in our operations. The biggest impact will be moving from using shrink sleeves on our cans to using printed cans.

How We'll Reduce It

Over time we will switch existing brands from using plastic shrink sleeves to printed cans. This will require forecasting our production needs and placing orders far in advance. It will also require our can designs being suited for short run printing.
