Breakthru's Social Responsibility Report Details Investment in Staff, Communities

Breakthru Beverage Group's annual Corporate Social Responsibility shows collaborating with employees has positive benefits.

Expanded educational programs saw associates take more than 35,000 health and safety courses, strengthening a culture of safety-first, while large-scale learning and development initiatives equipped associates in sales, corporate, operations, analytics and more to accelerate their performance.

Breakthru also launched its Power of One Learning Maps experience, engaging thousands of associates across North America in identifying opportunities to expand collaboration, execution and operational efficiency. Those efforts generated more than 2,000 actionable ideas and delivered tangible cost savings as a result, demonstrating the collective impact of shared ownership and continuous improvement.

Beyond its operations, Breakthru said it strengthened its commitment to the communities it serves through increased associate-led volunteerism and deeper charitable partnerships.

The company also said it accelerated progress toward its environmental goals through operational enhancements that reduced fuel consumption by more than 3,500 gallons and lowered carbon emissions by nearly 80,000 pounds of CO2. In total, the company achieved an annual reduction of approximately 2,200 metric tons of CO2 emissions, equivalent to nearly 5.5 million miles driven by an average passenger vehicle.

"As we reflect on this past year, I'm incredibly proud of what The Power of One has come to represent at Breakthru," said Tom Bené, president/CEO. "It reflects the extraordinary impact we can make when our associates bring their talent, passion and perspectives together around a shared purpose. That collective strength is what fuels our innovation, drives operational excellence and enables us to deliver meaningful results for our partners, customers and communities across every market we serve."
