BRINGING A NEW DIMENSION TO OUR CLIMATE STRATEGY WITH "A PLANET OF EXCEPTION"
Taking climate action is imperative and a path to change. Keenly aware that we are the last generation that can reverse the trend, Rémy Cointreau has made limiting climate change a top CSR priority.
The Group is stepping up its climate strategy with "A planet of Exception", a project launched in 2021 during COP 26. Two commitments form the core of this ambitious project to go bolder and contribute even more actively to combating global warming. First, a commitment to shrinking the Group’s carbon footprint by 90% to reach net zero in 2050. Rémy Cointreau has signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative ("Business ambition for 1.5°C") and is in the process of defining its trajectory to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It aims to reduce emissions per bottle by 50% by 2030.
But the planet cannot wait. Thus, the Group is also committed to contribute to its carbon neutrality until its reduction targets are reached. Starting in 2021/2022, the Group offsets all of its residual emissions across the value chain with joint community-based actions that sequester carbon or avoid emissions. Rémy Cointreau is the first global wine and spirit group to be carbon neutral.
