Lion, one of Australia and New Zealand’s leading beverage companies, on August 8, 2025 announced it has become a Certified B Corporation (B Corp), supporting the company’s long-standing commitment to be a force for good. Lion’s B Corp Certification follows several sustainability achievements for the Australasian beverages’ leader, including:
- Being the first major brewer to source 100% renewable electricity for all its Australian operations.
- Achieving its 2030 science-based carbon reduction targets in 2023, 7 years early.
- Running its major breweries at XXXX and Tooheys with world-class water efficiency.
- Creating industry-leading packaging with 72% recycled content.
- Leading people, diversity and inclusion practices.
- A strong commitment to First Nations reconciliation and engagement.
Each Lion brand will be able to share that it is produced by a Certified B Corp, and drinkers across Australia and New Zealand can raise a glass of any Lion beverage knowing the company behind it meets rigorous standards across five impact areas: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.
In their Sustainability Performance Update for 2024, their approach continues to be governed by the commitment to ensure Lion is a force for good in the world, delivering enduring environmental leadership, long-term positive social impact, and best practice governance.
