Sustainability Council

The Drinks Association Sustainability Council's primary purpose is to encourage and inspire the drinks industry to have a greater positive impact on people and the planet and, in the process, build trust and resilience within the sector.

By focusing on the core impact pillars of Planet, People, and Progress, the council will address a range of topics including incorporating sustainable practices, protecting the environment, valuing people within organisations and supply chains, and promoting transparency and continuous improvement.

Planet: Helping the industry to incorporate sustainable practices that limit negative impacts, protect the environment and thrive in a new low-carbon economy.

People: Influencing, educating and leveraging action across industry and partners to protect and value people in our organisations, our host communities and our supply chains.

Progress: Enhancing the transparency of industry-wide performance on priority sustainability topics to promote awareness, positive action and continuous improvement

“The Sustainability Council will provide a forum for the drinks industry to collaborate in tackling some of the biggest environmental and social challenges in the world today. By working together in this forum, we can accelerate and amplify our collective positive impact in this space."
