Environmental Host & Sponsor

Labatt Breweries of Canada has been brewing for over 170 years. Labatt and Enviro-Stewards are exploring opportunities to further reduce footprints through ingredient conservation and water & energy efficiency.

For the past eight years, Labatt Breweries of Canada and the City of London have celebrated United Nations World Environment Day (WED) with a series of forums that shared environmental best practices and achievements and identified collaborative ways to advance community leadership in pursuit of tangible and meaningful conservation goals. 

The theme of the 9th annual London Environmental Forum this year is “A culture of care: the enabler of sustainability’s triple bottom line.” Forum presenters will include Bruce Taylor, P.Eng., the founder and President of Enviro-Stewards, Bryan Gilvesy, CEO of ALUS Canada, and Mayor Ed Holder.

Sponsor

As a component of their sponsorship, Labatt has sponsored discounts for the construction of 50 bio sand filters through the Safe Water Project.  The biofilters are constructed by a locally owned & operated social venture using locally available materials. 

 Each biofilter will provide safe water for up to 10 people for about 25 years.  For perspective, each year the 50 biofilters will replace the potable water consumed in London to produce about 750,000 bottles of beer by providing an equivalent amount of safe water in Northern Uganda.
