Priority: net zero carbon by 2050 to preserve the planet
"We have made strong commitments within the framework of the "Sustainable Exception" plan that affect the entire production chain, from the production of our spirits, to their packaging and transport.
- On scope 1, this means choosing fuels that emit less carbon, as in France, where we switched to biogas in April 2021, or on the Isle of Islay, where the HyLaddie project is investigating the use of hydrogen for the distillery’s heating requirements.
- On scope 2, we are working on the purchase of renewable electricity.
- On scope 3, we are focusing our efforts on eco-design to roll out lighter bottles and increase the proportion of recycled glass. Besides, we are favouring partners who have adopted a carbon reduction programme."

Chief Operating Officer
"In terms of sourcing, the year 2020 has prompted us to further strengthen the relationship with our partners. Since the start of the crisis, we have created a task force and remained in close contact with our suppliers, in order to hear their concerns and grow together.
This relationship has outlasted the crisis and made us aware of the need to secure our production plan. We thus decided to relocate our sourcing operations to ensure we adopt a strongly local approach. This allows us to reduce transport requirements and to implement a multi-sourcing strategy.
Taken together, these measures have culminated in the creation of a CSR officer position within our team."
