Salcombe Brewery Co has partnered with Too Good to Go to help reduce waste and also announced that it has donated more than £1,000 to The Seahorse Trust. This has been raised through a 5p donation for every bottle sold of its Seahorse beer. The news comes as the company embarks on a journey to B Corp status.

Jordan Mace, managing director of Salcombe Brewery Co, said: “Constantly improving our sustainability credentials has always been a core objective for us so, when we discovered Too Good To Go, we jumped at the chance to reduce our waste.
“This clever app allows us to sell our cosmetically damaged products and any short-dated stock to a wide range of customers, at a reduced price, rather than throwing it away. It is a new partnership that came about as part of a review of our processes as we work towards B Corp status.”
He added: “The surrounding coastal environment has always been hugely important to Salcombe Brewery Co. The Salcombe Estuary is one of the few places in the UK where you can find the rarer of the two species of seahorse, and we partnered with The Seahorse Trust four years ago to raise funds to support these endangered creatures.
“We give a regular donation to The Seahorse Trust and are pleased to be handing over another £1,198.25 this month. This money has been raised by making a donation of 5p from every bottle of Seahorse sold.”
Certified B Corps are companies verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. Becoming a certified B Corporation is a rigorous, comprehensive process that involves reviewing a company’s processes, procedures, and ethos.
