- Reusing, recycling and managing our waste.
We raise awareness amongst our partners and customers in order to involve them in our commitments by:
- Promoting social involvement alongside our vendors.
- Developing training initiatives for vendors and customers.
We create industry partnerships as a good business practice through joint enrichment:
- Working on a co-creation programme with other industry businesses through FEBE and FEV*.
*FEBE: Spanish Spirits Federation; FEV: Spanish Wine Federation.
We support the communities where we operate by:
- Prioritising local vendors.
- Developing activities that favour our communities, such as the use of raw materials with certificates of origin.
Where do we currently stand?
We are working to be increasingly more respectful of the environment.
Our environmental impact
We are backed by our certifications:
- ISO 14001.
- Wineries for Climate Protection (WfCP).
- BREEAM International Certification. This achievement recognises us as trailblazers for the design and sustainable construction of our new Cartagena plant.
70% of the energy we consume comes from renewable sources, through the purchase of green energy and biomass.
Our annual water consumption is just 2.1 L per litre produced, dropping to 0.8 L per litre produced at our Cartagena plant.
75% of our waste is recovered and given a new use.
We support local communities by producing our products with local ingredients: 100% Navarran sloes (G.I. Pacharán Navarro), Sorrento lemons and our designation of origin wines.
We apply environmental and social criteria through our Purchasing and Vendor Approval system.
Where are we headed?
We know where we are headed and the path we want to follow.
