Join Simmons Net Impact at Boston’s Harpoon Brewery to learn about sustainable best practices for business on Tuesday October 21. The event will consist of a brewery tour and tasting ($5 per person) followed by a chat with Harpoon’s Sustainability Committee to discuss their environmental, community, and employee initiatives, and answer your questions!
Harpoon Brewery (“HB”) is a great case study for different types of sustainability including environment, community, and employee relationships. Since obtaining a brewing permit in 1986, HB has been recognized for its sustainable best practices specifically in areas of waste reduction, responsible chemical usage, operational efficiency measures, and energy management initiatives; and In 2012 was awarded the 2012 Boston Green Business Award. HB also made a commitment to be a “good neighbor” by creating Harpoon Helps, a philanthropic group that donates resources and volunteer hours to local charities. Their move to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in order to give employees an added benefit, ensure that HB’s mission and values would remain committed to great product and experience for customers!
