Harpoon Brewery ("HB") is a great case study for different types of sustainability including environment, community, and employee relationships. Since obtaining a brewering permit in 1986, HB has been recognized for its sustainable best practices specifically in areas of waste reduction, responsible chemical usage, operational efficiency measures, and energy management initiatives; and In 2012 was awarded the 2012 Boston Green Business Award. HB also made a commitment to be a "good neighbor" by creating Harpoon Helps, a philanthropic group that donates resrources and volunteer hours to local charities. Most recently, HB moved to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in order to give employees an added benefit and ensure that HB's mission and values would remain committed to great product and experience for customers!
