Continuing the transition to green electricity
Rémy Cointreau has set itself the target of 100% renewable electricity by 2025. Since 2016, all electricity used by the Group’s French sites has been renewable, with the exception of Domaine des Hautes Glaces, for which 94% of the total energy used is renewable (wood-fired stills). Meanwhile, at Westland Distillery in Seattle, 90% of the energy used is renewable, whereas at Bruichladdich in Islay, 100% of the electricity used has come from renewable sources in the United Kingdom since May 2020.
In 2019, the Mount Gay teams on the island of Barbados began to produce photovoltaic power: solar panels now cover 25%of the packaging site’s total electricity consumption. By 2024, the figure is expected to rise to 30% with the installation of new panels. The site has also been fitted with energy-efficient bulbs and lamps.
