Farmlands and their ecosystems are being worn out by global warming and, in some cases, years of intensive farming.This is true for all raw materials: grains, vines, sugarcane and oranges. Rémy Cointreau and its brands are actively fighting to preserve biodiversity and to continue to produce exceptional products that reflect their distinctive terroirs.
Preserving regional biodiversity in the long term
Biodiversity is the true wealth of the terroirs. Whether in Samos, on the Isle of Islay, in Cognac or in Seattle, the Group’s brands help protect the diversity of the local fauna and flora. To this end, RémyCointreau has included the protection of biodiversity in its 2025 CSR plan – "Sustainable Exception" – as a major challenge reflected in practical actions on the ground. The Group also renewed its environmental commitments as part of the Act4nature international alliance. Its undertakings cover biodiversity, protecting forests and natural areas, reducing carbon emissions, combating global warming, and rolling out training and awareness-raising initiatives on these issues among stakeholders.
For nearly 10 years, the Rémy Martin Estates have been providing three hectares of experimental woodland in Charente to successfully conduct biodiversity protection tests with the French National Forest Ownership Centre (CNPF) and the French Bird Protection League (LPO), with which an ecological monitoring of plots of land has been organised. The collaboration allows for flora and fauna surveys to be conducted to monitor and promote the regeneration of fauna and flora that used to exist along the Charente river. Trees such as ash and alder were planted within a poplar plot to recolonise the natural environment.
