Biodiversity is a key indicator of soil fertility and resilience. The Group places considerable emphasis on biodiversity conservation and is already involved in a number of programmes. Yet it is constantly looking to go further and is now rolling out new agro-ecological practices across its terroirs, promoting soil health as the foundation for healthy ecosystems.
Each region has its own unique biodiversity - a large part of what makes Rémy Cointreau spirits so distinctive. Conserving this biodiversity, and respecting its terroirs and the natural resources used, is therefore crucial for the Group. From the Charente region of France to the Pacific Northwest in the US, Rémy Cointreau takes care of the regions in which it works, preserving their biodiversity. In doing so, it is also preserving the future of its exceptional products. The Group has therefore announced that each of its Houses will pursue at least one biodiversity project by 2025 (70% did so in 2021/2022).
Moreover, the Group has undertaken to promote responsible, hierarchical and circular use of forest resources when sourcing wood for its casks. Accordingly, by 2025, 100% of the new casks it purchases will come from sustainably managed forests (FSC/PEFC-certified).
As part of this push, Rémy Cointreau joined the act4nature alliance in 2018 (its commitment was recognised as SMART in 2020). This involved it signing the joint declaration to integrate nature (flora, fauna, ecosystems, etc.) into its strategy. Act4nature is about taking active steps to preserve and restore biodiversity.
