A new free tool designed to help independent breweries measure and manage their carbon emissions more effectively has been launched.
Zevero Lite is said to provide an accessible starting point for independent breweries to begin their decarbonisation journey.
The tool has been developed by Zevero, a leading provider of carbon management solutions, in partnership with the Society of Independent Breweries and Associates (SIBA). It will be available for free for all SIBA members as part of the organisation’s commitment to support the independent brewing industry’s transition to net zero.
Andy Slee, Chief Executive of SIBA said: “Independent brewers have always been at the forefront of innovation, but navigating sustainability can be daunting without the right tools.
“We have committed as part of SIBA’s Sustainability Strategy to help support the independent brewing sector to achieve net zero and believe that Zevero Lite will enable many of our members to begin their decarbonisation journey with confidence.”
As the UK advances toward its 2050 net zero target, independent breweries face growing pressure to measure, report, and reduce their carbon footprint. However, limited resources and complex reporting requirements can make progress difficult.
Zevero Lite was created to address these challenges directly. By offering an intuitive, cost-free platform, Zevero Lite equips independent breweries with the tools and data they need to meet decarbonisation goals, improve operational efficiency, and comply with sustainability requirements–all without the financial strain.
George Wade, co-founder of Zevero, said: We’re excited to play a key role in helping breweries not only decarbonise but also identify cost-saving opportunities, proving that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.”
Zevero Lite is sadi to empower breweries to navigate the path to sustainability with practical, easy-to-use tools tailored to their unique needs. With this platform, SIBA members can:
- Measure – Accurately calculate emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and specific categories of Scope 3.
- Reduce – Identify high-impact emission sources and prioritise reduction opportunities.
- Report – Streamline reporting for supermarket survey tools (e.g., Manufacture2030) and B Corp assessments.
