We rely on finite resources which are under immense pressure. That’s why we are committed to minimising waste at every step while imagining new production methods to optimise and help preserve natural resources.
What we are doing
With net-zero science-based targets in line with a 1.5°C trajectory, we are committed to tackling climate change throughout our value chain.
In order to do this, we are reducing our carbon emissions in our own operations by improving energy efficiency, implementing new technology and switching to renewable energy. We are also working with our supply chain to help reduce our overall carbon footprint linked to the procurement of packaging and agricultural materials as well as transportation and logistics.
To reduce our carbon footprint and minimise waste linked to packaging, we are reducing the weight of our bottles, increasing their recycled content, and looking at ways of reducing carbon emissions in the manufacturing process.
Our affiliates are currently developing water reduction roadmaps, helping to reduce our overall water consumption intensity (per unit of distilled alcohol) and replenish water basins in high risk areas.
Our commitments
-
Reduce water consumption intensity by 20% vs FY18 and tend towards 100% water replenishment in high-risk areas
-
Reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by -54% vs FY22 through energy efficiency and renewable energy
-
Reduce scope 3 emissions by -25% vs FY22 through low carbon agriculture and distillation for pure alcohol, ecodesign in packaging, recycled content, circular models and sustainable logistics
