Harpers Sustainability Charter hits 30 signatories ahead of Earth Day

By Andrew Catchpole

Published: 22 April, 2022

Running with the strapline ‘Invest in Our Planet’, 22 April’s annual Earth Day provides an apt backdrop to announce that Harpers recently launched Sustainability Charter has hit a 30-signatory milestone.

Apt, because Earth Day – now in its 52nd year – has grown to galvanise support around the world for environmental protection, with the first Paris Agreement signed on 22 April 2016.

Harpers Sustainability Charter is now playing its part too, sitting at the heart of a new Harpers sustainability campaign, designed to help galvanise, share and drive best practice throughout the UK drinks trade.

As such, the Charter invites drinks companies to sign up (for free) and share their sustainable advancement, in the related spheres of environmental, social and economic initiatives, to build a network of sustainably-minded businesses and be a reference for businesses looking to work with like-minded partners across the trade.

Harpers' part in this is to provide a platform to enable Charter signatories to more readily communicate their sustainable advancement, via frequent coverage of attainments and goals, shining the spotlight on such initiatives for the benefit and advancement of all.

With all eyes on the future of the planet, we invite all sustainably driven drinks-related businesses to consider signing up and help drive a sustainable future for our sector.
