Neutral Beverage

Beverage brands prioritize carbon-neutral or negative production

Trend - Brands in the beverage space are re-shifting production processes to reduce their impact on the environment--aiming for carbon-neutral or negative outputs. Brands attempting this include everything from water to alcohol beverages.

Insight - As consumers become aware of climate change and how brands fuel the problem, they increasingly expect that brands prioritize things like waste-reduction, carbon offsetting and environmentally friendly production. Consumers are left with few impactful choices when it comes to eco-friendly consumption, but they seek out brands that are making even small changes to improve.
Workshop Question - How is your brand prioritizing reducing its carbon output, or impact on the environment in general?
