Getting involved in the local communities and acting as a responsible player

Worldwide, Rémy Cointreau employees are thrilled to be working hand-in-hand with local populations to create environments of mutual assistance and exchange of ideas. A powerful bond has developed between the men and women of Mount Gay and the region of Barbados; between the employees of Bruichladdich and the Isle of Islay, and in the Angers region. Together, they work to preserve the terroirs and pass on their knowledge of excellence.

In June 2018, the Group’s 1,800 employees were invited to take care of the terroirs during the second We Care Day. Across all of the Group’s sites, Rémy Cointreau employees led initiatives aimed at preserving the environment and local heritage. In Singapore, a day was dedicated to weeding, harvesting and cultivating the land of Bollywood Veggies Organic Farm; in Cognac, 342 employees joined forces to renovate the Château de la Mercerie. In Islay, to foster biodiversity and maintain local equipment, the Bruichladdich teams cleaned up some land to encourage bee repopulation on the island; they also repaired fences and repainted the city hall to help local communities. Several other actions were implemented across all Rémy Cointreau sites and they were shared on social media under #RCwecareday. Held on a yearly basis, this international day is also an opportunity to strengthen relations between the teams and local communities, and between employees.
