Environment

We’re serious about environmental leadership. We’re proud to be a certified carbon-neutral brewer, and we’re always looking for ways to reduce our impact. You’ll see this in real things like solar panels on our breweries, and ongoing improvements to our packaging, from recycled content and recyclability to lighter materials.

And because sustainability is something we do together, our people get two volunteer leave days each year to give back to the causes they care about.

Diversity, equity & inclusion

All are welcome at LION, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or if you prefer a coffee to a beer! Our greatest strength lies in difference, and we are committed to building a culture of performance and belonging where our experiences, backgrounds and perspectives are valued and harnessed. To do this, we actively track inclusion sentiments, cultural diversity representation, our gender pay gap and gender balance, both across LION and in leadership.

Our communities

LION’s five Employee Resource Groups bring our commitment to inclusion to life.

These are communities where people connect, celebrate and support one another. These networks aim to drive visibility and equality for these communities across LION and promote an inclusive working environment that allows individuals to be their best authentic selves.

Reconciliation at LION

LION is focused on being a Force for Good in the community, creating long-term positive social impact for all Australians. We are proud to have a growing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce. We continue to focus on creating inclusive and culturally safe recruitment and workplace practices, and we welcome First Nations candidates who are interested in building a career with us.

We offer multiple employment pathways across LION, including apprenticeships, early careers, operational, corporate and leadership roles, because everyone’s journey looks different, and we’re committed to supporting diverse career paths.

We invite you to join us in our vision: an Australia that embraces unity and inclusivity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and culture and that of all Australians.

Indigenous recruitment

LION's commitment to First Nations reconciliation goes beyond intention — it is embedded in action, accountability and genuine partnership. Their work demonstrates how corporate leadership, when grounded in governance, responsibility and innovation, can create meaningful and lasting change for community.

Working for a corporation like LION is a powerful platform to achieve social justice. In this way, LION exemplifies what’s possible when reconciliation is approached with integrity, courage and vision. Their work shows how business can be a force for good that leads to meaningful opportunities and community outcomes.

Toni Janke, LION Indigenous Advisory Council member

Yaama, my name is Professor Phil Duncan and I am very proud to be a member of the LION Indigenous Advisory Council (IAC) for their Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP). LION is a great corporation that is totally committed to meaningful Reconciliation and a culturally safe environment to Indigenous people to embrace employment within LION.

LION is innovative and courageous and clearly demonstrates the value it places on its willingness to challenge itself to be the best corporate citizen it can be, supporting supports self determination and Indigenous leadership. Not just within, but more importantly externally.

Phil Duncan, LION Indigenous Advisory Council member

I joined Lion almost five years ago because I saw a genuine willingness to listen, learn and be accountable in how the organisation approached reconciliation.

What's kept me here is the ongoing commitment from leaders and teams to do the work properly, build respectful relationships, and keep improving how we support Aborigional and Torres Strait Islander peoples across the business.

Te ao Māori 

We are implementing a te ao Māori strategy that intergrates Māori perspectives, values, and practices into LION NZ authentically, ensuring we have cultural alignment with our exsisting culture.

As an organisation operating in Aotearoa New Zealand, LION has a responsibility to respect the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi - partnership, participation and protection.
