FOR EVERY BEER WE MAKE, WE REMOVE TWICE THE CO2 THAT WE EMIT
Working with our lead scientific advisor, world leading expert, Professor
Mike Berners-Lee we are doing all we can to drive our emissions to
zero, whilst in the meantime removing twice as much carbon from our
atmosphere as we emit each year from both our operations and our
supply chains.
Whatever carbon we remove, reducing our emissions in the first place
is our key priority. So with the help of Mike and his team at Small World
Consulting, we are working on a turbo charged carbon reduction plan,
IN AUGUST 2020, setting a target to cut the carbon footprint per pint by 40% within the
next twelve months. Predicting the future, we are also putting together
BREWDOG BECAME
a complimentary carbon removal plan for all our remaining emissions.
This thinks about the growth pattern of the lost forest, and avoided
emissions from peatland restoration, and organic farming opportunities

BUSINESS.
A big disappointment was the loss of our 2,050 acres of land in the
Sottish Highlands just North of Loch Lomond after the commercial deal
fell through. This delayed our ability to plant trees in Winter 2020/21.
We learned from this and were spurned on to seize the opportunity to
buy an even more impressive upland landscape near the Cairngorms

THE LOST FOREST: WE WANT
We purchased 9,308 acres of land in the Scottish highlands where we will
embark on the single biggest native woodland establishment and peatland TO USE THE
restoration project ever carried out in the UK.
The scale is staggering, the BrewDog Lost Forest is bigger LOST FOREST
than 17 actual countries.
Located just west of Aviemore, work will begin at the Lost Forest in August.
AS A VEHICLE
FOR ACTIVISM AS
We will be planting millions of native trees to create a bio-diverse broadleaf
woodland and ecosystem.
Overall, the Lost Forest has the potential to sequester between
0.8 - 1 million tonnes of carbon over a 100 years. Exactly how much depends on the
outcome of surveys and consultations this spring. This will help us decide the best

approach to regenerating the landscape e.g. for a mosaic of habitats, ‘right tree, right place’,
and understand how the local farming and crofting community currently work the land.
The Lost Forest is also going to be home to a hotel built from sustainable cabins, a campsite,

a distillery, hiking and biking trails as well as kayaking on our beautiful loch. We want the
Lost Forest to enable people to reconnect with nature and by doing so become far more
cognisant of the impact that we, as humans, are having on our planet.
CLIMATE CRISIS WITH
At BrewDog, we have always tried to look at things through a new lens and challenged THE LOST FOREST,
the status quo to think differently. And we have always put absolutely everything on the
line for what we believe in. BrewDog was founded to change the world of beer.
