We are very happy to announce that we are sponsoring the Sustainable Business Podcast, by the owner of SmallStuff, and Bira member Hellen Stirling-Baker.

Along with many other organisations, we have become more aware of the effects of our carbon footprint and have started to make a conscious effort to reduce our contributions to harming our planet. The first step we have made starts our internal Sustainability Task Force, consisting of; staff members, Board of Managers and of course our independent retailer members.

Our goal is to become the first membership association to be net-zero carbon in two years, as well as to help our associates and members to become more sustainable and make it a normal part of their lifestyle. So when Hellen first approached us about sponsoring her new podcast, we jumped at the chance to get involved.
