PLAYING AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING WITH THE GLOBAL CLIMATE AGREEMENT

Combating climate change and its impact is of vital importance to the Group. Its brands take a longterm view and have already seen the effects of global warming on their terroirs. For several years, Rémy Cointreau has been fighting climate change by implementing various actions after signing the Paris Agreement on climate change (COP21). As part of ensuring a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and the urgent need for climate action, it seemed necessary to reiterate the vital importance of a change in direction. Alongside 88 French companies and in connection with the One Planet Summit launched by the French government, Rémy Cointreau reiterated to what extent climate action is crucial for global agriculture and for the terroirs from which the Group’s brands draw their authenticity. Since then, Rémy Cointreau has thoroughly reconsidered its CRS policy on the fight against global warming by reducing CO₂ emissions derived from finished product transport and to comply with the targets set by this global agreement limiting global warming to 2^°C. All partners and suppliers are committed to this approach.

Accepting its responsibility at the international level

Located in several regions, the Group’s brands are witnessing climatic upheavals in their terroirs. In this respect, Rémy Cointreau is implementing a proactive and committed international policy and has signed several international undertakings.

Over the last 15 years, Rémy Cointreau has been a member of the Global Compact. The Group signature, “Terroirs, People and Time” adopted two years ago is inextricably linked to the Corporate Social Responsibility goals of this global pact.

In addition, Rémy Cointreau’s CSR challenges are based on 10 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) defined by the UN and selected after a materiality analysis. Each action implemented as part of Rémy Cointreau’s 2020 plan echoes one of these ten goals.
