BrewDog loses its ethical B Corp certificate

Status lost after BBC film and open letter from workers alleging culture of fear' at self-styled punk brewery'

The controversial beer brand BrewDog has lost its status as a B Corp less than two years after joining the scheme, which offers certification of a company's ethical commitment to the environment, community and staff.

The company, which was recently called hypocritical for running a World Cup ad campaign highlighting Qatar's poor human rights record despite being criticised by the Unite Hospitality union for the treatment of its own workers, achieved B Corp status last February.
