Sustainability is central to tackling climate change and achieving Net Zero, driving industries worldwide to develop decarbonisation strategies and set ambitious targets. This programme focuses on how the malting, brewing, distilling, and allied industries can assess current practices and develop practical, balanced roadmaps to sustainability across technological, environmental, economic, and social factors.
You will gain a strong foundation in sustainability concepts and their application within the alcoholic beverages sector, encompassing raw material selection to production processes, and industry-wide impacts. The programme also develops your ability to measure and evaluate sustainability performance, alongside understanding key policy and regulatory frameworks.
As the global drinks industry faces increasing environmental pressures, rising costs, and shifting consumer expectations, there is a growing demand for skilled professionals. Graduates of this MSc will be equipped to support businesses in meeting sustainability targets and driving the transition toward a low-carbon, Net Zero future.
