As we enter the final quarter of 2023, not only do we find ourselves reflecting on recent events such as World Water Week and Climate Week NYC, but most organizations are in the planning stages for the coming year. These reflections combine to generate the coming year and multi- year’s focus, goals, and commitments.

 

What is not commonly known is that many of the 2024 agenda items around water reuse and circularity, sustainable agriculture, facility decarbonization, and other critical beverage-related environmental sustainability aspects have been proactively addressed by BIER since its founding in [2006](https://www.bieroundtable.com/celebrating-15-years-of-bier/).

Since its inception, BIER has been the model of industry collaboration and has continuously advanced the development of sustainable solutions through beverage industry-specific data collection, methodologies, standard-setting, best practice sharing, and thought leadership. While BIER has expressed itself as a common voice across the beverage sector, speaking to influence global standards on environmental sustainability aspects most relevant to the sector, it is the individual leaders within BIER member companies and stakeholder organizations that bring this voice to life.

Reflecting on the past 3 years, you’re invited to learn how these practitioners and their companies are addressing pressing challenges around water, energy, agriculture, and climate change, and what inspires each of them to advance environmental sustainability in the beverage sector and collectively, overall.
