Planning for a Sustainable Future

A Commitment to our People and Planet

As a truly independent Family Business and B Corp certified, we are always thinking about the future.

B Corp is a certification meaning a business is meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, and is committed to having a positive impact on our people and planet.

Achieving B Corp is no small feat, and it shouldn’t be. It has been two years of passion and hard work. A business must earn a minimum of 80 points out of a possible 200 to qualify. We are delighted to have achieved 89.2 points under the heading of governance, environment, workers, community and customers – a score we will work towards improving year on year.

What makes us a B Corp?

Our Distillery is run on 100% green energy and we have a mission to reduce waste with a maximum of 10% to landfill and zero to landfill target by 2050.

We are a low carbon company with year-on-year goals with last year seeing a 23% reduction in operational carbon emissions.

A move to more focused and strategic charitable partnerships while supporting our community both within and outside of our industry with each brand having a different charitable focus.

It is a fantastic feeling to be recognised for living our values every single day and we are thrilled to be part of the B Corp community. Find out below what else we are doing as a B Corp:

Distillery Life

Our Distillery is run on 100% green energy.
Our botanicals selected are renewable - some such as citrus peels are a bi-product of fruit juice.
After distillation, our used botanicals undergo a process which turns them into renewable energy & a rich biofertilizer for our farmers. Every tonne recycled in this way prevents 0.5-1 Tonne of CO2 entering the atmosphere.
The surplus spirit from our distilling and production process is re-distilled into Respirited Vodka.
Our Distillery Urban Garden is a place of tranquillity as well as a habitat for nature with our very own bug hotel for bees, ladybirds and butterflies.

Our Bottles and Packaging

All the bottles we use are 100% recyclable.
Our capsules are made from a recyclable material.
We use an compostable cork.
We offer a recyclable eco-refill box for our On-trade customers to reduce waste and glass usage.
The packaging for our online orders is all recyclable.

Community

For us, community is our local community, the charities we support and the wider drinks and hospitality industry. Here are some of the things we do:
Support our local parks and wildlife initiatives, schools and hospitals through company donations and donations for fundraising events.
Local job creation through opportunities to support our Distillery team with our tours and University placement students to gain experience.
Partnerships with the charities we work with – The Back Up Trust who support people with spinal cord injuries, and The Drinks Trust who support our industry.
Educating the hospitality and retail industry through our regular Training Academy workshops at our Distillery.
Supporting the trade with the sustainable initiatives and goals through WSTA and Family Business United.
