"Reviving Genesee Brewery With The Triple Bottom Line" with Mary Beth Popp
Release Date: 02/07/2019
Authors: [email protected] (Andrew Brady)
Description: Genesee Brewery, one of America's oldest breweries and the oldest in New York State, was just weeks away from closing its doors in 2009 when it was acquired by KPS Capital. Then in 2013 it was purchased by FIFCO, a Costa-Rican company with a "Triple Bottom Line" strategy, which balances "People, Planet and Profits." Since the acquisition and the infusion of the Triple Bottom Line strategy into Genesee's operations, it has seen a remarkable turnaround and continued growth. Tune in to this episode with FIFCO USA's Mary Beth Popp to hear about how Triple Bottom Line is NOT a philanthropic strategy, but a business strategy with a true ROI, as well as the lessons learned that you can apply to adopting a Triple Bottom Line in your own business. Mary Beth leads corporate relations for FIFCO USA. Following their Triple Bottom Line strategy, she works to build the business by focusing on improving the company’s environmental and social footprints through investments, volunteerism and building community in markets where FIFCO USA operates. Prior to coming to FIFCO USA, Mary Beth was a partner who headed the Brand Public Relations practice for Eric Mower and Associates (now the Mower Agency). In this role, she led the FIFCO USA account dating back to 2007. She has a long history with the Genesee Brewery and has played a passionate role in its rebirth. Her goal is to actively work to improve Northeast Rochester for employees, visitors and residents while supporting and driving Genesee’s business.
