WE’RE PROUD TO BE A CERTIFIED B CORPORATION
We’re proud to be part of the global B Corp community, a group of businesses dedicated to meeting the highest standards of social and environmental impact. We became B Corp Certified back in January, becoming the second ever UK B Corp cider makers.
We’re the only UK B Corp Certified cider makers using British fruit.
WHAT IS A B CORP?
Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
Certification isn’t just a badge; it means we’re held accountable to B Lab’s rigourous standards, which are constantly evolving with input from expert stakeholders.
HOW DID WE DO IT?
To achieve and maintain certification, we had to:
1. Complete the B Impact Assessment and achieve a verified total score of 80+ points.
2. Meet the B Corp legal requirement – amending Articles of Association to embed a commitment to consider the impact of decisions on all stakeholders.
3. Sign the B Corp Agreement and the Declaration of Interdependence
Publicly list our impact score on the B Lab Directory and recertify every 3 years.

OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
As a small, family-owned cidery, sustainability is woven into everything we do. We believe in putting the planet before profit, and while we know we’re not perfect, we’re proud of the practical steps we’re taking every day to reduce our impact. Here are some small (but mighty) actions we’ve embedded into our business:
Our bottles are 100% recyclable
From the glass to the label and cap, every part of our bottle can be recycled. We’ve also switched to a lighter bottle to reduce our use of excess glass.
We use recyclable shipping materials
Every element of our webshop packaging, from the box to the tape, is recyclable. It’s a small detail, but one that
adds up with every order we send out.
WE SUPPORT WARWICKSHIRE WILDLIFE TRUST
We've supported Warwickshire Wildlife Trust through several donations over the years.
We’ve phased out bag-in-box cider
Though popular with customers, we made the tough call to discontinue our bag-in-box range in 2021 to reduce our reliance on single-use plastics.
We’ve planted our own orchard
Thanks to the success of our Taproom Green Energy Project funding round, we’ve planted over a dozen apple trees. They’ve just blossomed for the first time, and we’re excited for the biodiversity they’ll attract.
WE USE APPLES FROM UNSPRAYED ORCHARDS
We work with growers who share our respect for the land, sourcing apples only from traditional orchards where biodiversity thrives.
