Sustainability at König Brewery
Since being founded in 1858, König Brewery has placed particular emphasis on acting responsibly and sustainably. As an integral part of our corporate philosophy, sustainability has helped to cement our success and has made our premium beers what they are today.
Our responsibility
Since 2007, we have been working under the umbrella of the Bitburger Braugruppe alongside the Bitburger, Köstritzer, and Licher brands.
A joint sustainability strategy has been developed for the breweries of the Bitburger Braugruppe. This describes the areas of action that are relevant to us: Climate & Resources, Work & the Future, Product & Responsibility, and Engagement & Region. In these areas, we implement specific measures at our sites and regularly review how they can be further developed.
In 2013, the Bitburger Braugruppe was certified by the Center for Sustainable Business Management (ZNU) at Witten/Herdecke University in accordance with the “Sustainable Business Practices” standard. The certification is based on the requirements defined in the standard and supports the systematic further development of related measures.
