Sustainability

Sustainability Engineered into Every Can
Rooted in our core values, we’re committed to making a positive impact on the planet and the communities we’re connected with. Our approach is comprehensive, encompassing sustainable practices in sourcing, production, and beyond. We believe in creating delicious, health-conscious beverages while nurturing the environment and fostering a culture of responsibility and care.


Founding Vision and Core Beliefs
OLIPOP was born from a vision shared by our founders, Ben and David, to disrupt the beverage industry by reducing sugar intake and promoting fiber and prebiotics. As a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), our actions—from sourcing to culture—are guided by this pioneering spirit, aiming not only to enhance human health but also to protect our planet.

OLIPOP innovates crave-worthy food and beverage products “for the people” that support health and well-being without compromising taste. Compared to traditional sodas, our functional, research-backed formulas reduce sugar without artificial ingredients and increase chronically deficient nutrients, such as fiber. We strive to contribute to a better society by supporting initiatives focused on nutrition access and education, “Food as Medicine,” and advancing scientific and psychological literacy. Additionally, we are committed to supporting sustainable food production and reducing our carbon footprint.

What Are We Doing to Help?
Every can of OLIPOP is a step towards sustainability, reflecting our commitment to blending enjoyment with eco-consciousness. Discover how our dedication to innovation and responsible sourcing makes each sip a contribution to a greener future.
