Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Zevia PBC is a beverage company and does not offer lending, deposit, or other financial services to consumers. Consequently, all KPIs under the 'Fair Money & Economic Opportunity' value are not applicable. The company does not have APRs, fee structures, or loan books to evaluate. There is no evidence of revenue from high-cost financial products, financial literacy programs for customers, or direct impact on customer credit or savings outcomes. Zevia does not operate financial service access points in banking deserts. While Zevia is a Certified B Corporation

with a mission to make products 'accessible and affordable to all' and promotes diversity in its supply chain , these actions do not directly align with the specific financial services metrics of this value.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

No specific quantitative data was provided across the articles for any of the fair trade and ethical sourcing KPIs.

This includes fair trade certification share, audit frequency, forced or child labor incidents, supply chain traceability, remediation speed, ethical clause coverage in contracts, materials risk index, or supplier diversity spend. While Zevia is B Corp certified and mentions using EcoVadis for supplier evaluations and aiming to procure from diverse businesses , no concrete percentages, frequencies, or incident numbers were disclosed to allow for scoring against the rubric's quantitative thresholds.

Honest & Fair Business

No specific, quantifiable evidence was found in the provided articles to assess Zevia PBC against the defined KPIs for 'Honest & Fair Business'. While the company is a Certified B Corporation

and has policies addressing whistleblower protection and anti-corruption (including FCPA compliance with specific guidance on bribery and expediting payments) , the rubric requires specific numerical scores, percentages, or detailed operational metrics (e.g., training frequency, resolution times, audit coverage percentage, or financial restatement counts) that are not present in the evidence. Therefore, all KPIs are omitted.

Kind to Animals

All Zevia beverages are vegan, meaning the company has zero animal inputs in any product line.

Consequently, Zevia does not source eggs, meat, or dairy, and has no animal agriculture operations or animal husbandry under its control. This also means there is no scope for animal-related supplier audits.

No War, No Weapons

Zevia PBC is a beverage company, and its core business activities do not involve arms or defense contracts, dual-use technologies, or sales to embargoed regimes.

The company's operations are not subject to the Arms Trade Treaty, nor does it engage in military-related AI or surveillance activities. Zevia does not have assets in conflict-exposed sectors, defense-related procurement, or mineral inputs in its products. While Zevia has a vendor code of conduct prohibiting child labor, human trafficking, and discrimination, its procurement is not defense-related. Consequently, metrics related to peacebuilding investment, conflict divestment, board oversight of defense, export end-user certificates, lobbying on arms control, human rights due diligence in conflict areas, ethical red lines for weapons, exposure to controversial weapons, war risk audits, conflict partner reviews, defense divestment, peace technology investment, conflict zone procurement, or ethical red lines compliance are not applicable to its business model.

Planet-Friendly Business

Zevia uses 52% recycled content in its aluminum cans.

No other specific, concrete data points were provided for the remaining Planet-Friendly Business KPIs, or the provided data did not align with the KPI's required units or conditions for scoring.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

No specific, concrete data points were found in the provided articles to assess ZVIA.US against any of the KPIs for 'Respect for Cultures & Communities'. The articles mention Zevia's overall B Corp certification

and general DEI initiatives, but explicitly state a lack of specific data regarding community engagement, cultural impact assessments, partnerships with indigenous groups, local employment, or other relevant metrics.

Safe & Smart Tech

Zevia PBC has reported no material cybersecurity threats or incidents affecting the company, financials, or cash flows to date, as per a March 2024 report.

The company maintains a holistic process for assessing, identifying, and managing cybersecurity risks, which includes multi-layered defenses, monitoring, third-party risk assessments, insider threat controls, and employee training. Users are provided with rights to access, correct, and delete their personal information, and to opt-out of profiling, targeted advertising, and the sale of personal information. Data is retained based on legitimate business needs and is deleted or de-identified when no longer required. The company also states compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Zevia demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainable packaging and waste reduction. Since its founding in 2007, the company has never sold a beverage in a plastic bottle.

, exclusively using infinitely recyclable aluminum cans for its primary products. This design choice has led to an estimated elimination of one billion plastic bottles from littering since 2011. The company has also implemented several waste reduction initiatives, including eliminating corrugate trays from its ten-pack Soda items and phasing out plastic rings from its Canadian six-pack Soda items, replacing them with recyclable cardboard overwrap. These actions reflect the integration of circular economy principles as a standard practice across all product development.
