Beer Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) - Presentation Leaflet
The Beer Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) tool is intended to help member companies (of The Brewers of Europe) to measure and improve the green credentials of their breweries, firstly by identifying the hotspots within each brewery and its value chain, then allowing a brewer equally to check scenarios – e.g. change of recipe – to assess whether a given change in approach would enhance green operations. Furthermore, once a critical mass of entries by a number of brewers is available, a brewery will be able not only to confidentially benchmark against the virtual representative product from the beer PEFCR, but equally against the results (aggregated) from colleague brewers.
This Leaflet presents the Beer PEFCR online tool in a nutshell.
The tool is accessible to all members of The Brewers of Europe’s national associations. Companies should contact their national association to be granted access to start using the tool.
