Dillicious’ Net Zero Ambition
We asked ourselves: How do we create the world’s first Net Zero pickle?
Follow our story to see our vision, plan and our actions. We won’t be perfect and the path might change, but our direction won’t.
What we’ve done so far
“We very rarely think about making small changes today to radically change the future; however, being imperfect doesn't mean you can't make steps towards being better.
It's really important for us to be part of the solution. We are already part of the problem, as humans who create problems and as a business. We produce waste, we produce carbon, we produce all of these things.”
— James Barbour, Founder & General Manager

Rooftop Solar at The Brinery
Installing rooftop solar at our HQ marked a major milestone in our journey to Net Zero. It’s helped us cut emissions right at the source, reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, and generate clean energy on-site. Beyond the environmental benefits, it’s a practical investment that supports long-term savings and energy independence, making it easier to take action today while planning for a more sustainable tomorrow.
We’re covering about 50-60% of our energy use with our rooftop solar. For our remaining energy use, we plan to purchase GreenPower.
