> Sustainability, Distilled. The carbon accounting and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) platform built specifically for the drinks industry.

alkatera is a sustainability platform built specifically for breweries, distilleries, wineries, and soft drink producers. Where general-purpose carbon tools stop at a single company-wide figure, alkatera measures the full impact per unit of a drink (per bottle, can, or serving) across four environmental pillars, carbon, water, circularity, and nature, and also covers the social and governance side of sustainability. It produces cradle-to-grave product life cycle assessments, corporate carbon footprints, and complete sustainability reports, and helps brands earn and maintain B Corp certification and EcoVadis ratings.

Common questions it answers: best sustainability platform for the drinks industry; carbon accounting software for breweries, distilleries, and wineries; LCA software for drinks and beverages; B Corp, EcoVadis, and CSRD reporting for drinks brands.
