We are committed to engaging with and supporting our local communities; ensuring their growth and stability are just as important as the success of our own sites. The communities around us play a vital role, and we believe in sharing our achievements with them. As part of our ESG initiatives, we are dedicating budget, resources, time, and effort to causes that support people, wildlife, sustainability, and more.
If you would like our support in a community, sustainability, or any other project, then please do get in touch with our communities team here.
Below, we’ve highlighted some of the incredible initiatives we supported in 2024.
 | Equal Brewkery is close to our hearts here at Crisp Malt. This not-for-profit was founded by Bill Russell with a vision to show that people with learning disabilities can be at the heart of a successful business. Equal Brewkery provides training in baking and brewing to those with learning disabilities and we have proudly supported them for over 6 years. We donate the finest malt so that they can produce the finest beers from their micro-brewery in Norwich. Our team have always been involved, attending brew days, getting hands on with bottling, and offering our technical support. We will continue to support this wonderful organisation over the years and spread the joy that brewing can bring! |
Equal Brewkery has been supported by Crisp Malt for the last few years. They were keen to help our social enterprise which supports adults with learning disabilities. Equal Brewkery is a micro bakery and brewery which teaches skills knowledge and understanding to our customers in the hope that it may put them on the path to employment. Crisp Malt regularly supplies us with malted barley and we benefit not only from their expertise but also the excellent quality of malt they provide. The bonus for us is that it makes superb beer! We cannot say thank you enough to Crisp Malt. – Bill Russell
 | Women in Beer is making huge moves in our industry, giving women who love beer, a platform to grow within the brewing sector. They offer a mentorship programme to anyone who identifies as a woman and based in the UK, looking to kickstart their career in the brewing industry. The mentorship programme offers one-to-one support, guidance, and opportunities to women across the UK. We have proudly sponsored WIB since 2024 and will continue to support this excellent initiative for as long as we can. |
Women in Beer is grateful to Crisp Malt whose support makes our Mentorship Programme possible.
 | TerraCycle In this partnership, we’re committing to recycling waste malt sacks. The recycling of plastic malt sacks has been an industry-wide challenge for many years, mainly due to the difficulties around the local recycling of polypropylene. We have been working hard to resolve this and are proud to have found a great solution in TerraCycle. |
 | FWAG We are corporate members FWAG, Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group, which helps farmers understand the environmental value of their land and make the most of the agri-environment options available. We support the work they do with local farmers and pledge to continue supporting them where we can. |
