Zevia Soda

Zevia is an American beverage brand that launched in 2007, positioning itself as a healthier alternative to traditional sodas by utilizing stevia leaf extract as its sole sweetener. Founded in Culver City, California, by Derek Newman, Jessica Newman, and Ian Kondra, the brand revolutionized the 'better-for-you' beverage category by offering zero-calorie, zero-sugar, and clear liquids free of artificial colors.

Today, the brand is managed by Zevia PBC, a public benefit corporation based in Los Angeles. The manufacturing process is primarily focused in the United States to serve its core North American market. Zevia stands out for its commitment to sustainability, having never used plastic bottles in its company history, opting instead for aluminum cans which have a higher recycle rate. The brand has grown from a niche natural-food store product to a mainstream international staple, maintaining its independence as a publicly traded company on the NYSE.
