Appalachian Gap Distillery making big changes to reduce carbon footprint
Vermont Business Magazine VGS and Appalachian Gap Distillery announced today the distillery has committed to offset half of its natural gas usage with VGS’s first-in-the-nation renewable natural gas (RNG) to produce its quality craft spirits. This announcement is another step in the Company’s progress towards becoming certified by Climate Neutral, a trusted NetZero certification for consumer brands through a non-profit organization whose mission is to decrease global carbon emissions.
“We will be certified Climate Neutral this year, which is the best way to be sure our operations reflect our values, one of which is responsibility to the planet and its inhabitants.” said Lars Hubbard, co-founder of Appalachian Gap Distillery. “It only made sense to include RNG as part of our efforts. We have committed to having sustainability be a core value in all of our operations."
