Circular Making
We minimise waste at every step by re-imagining, producing and distributing our products in ways that optimise and help preserve natural resources.
Reducing our Carbon Footprint
In 2022, we were proud to launch an ambitious roadmap to reduce Scope 1 & 2 emissions at our distillery in Midleton by 2026.
Our aim is to phase out the use of fossil fuels by reducing energy use and recycling waste heat in the distillation process to power the distillery.
Over time, remaining energy requirements will be fulfilled by generating power from renewable sources including green hydrogen and biogas.
Across our operations and office locations, we have made the switch to green electricity.
Packaging
The 5 R’s of Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Respect are now embedded in our approach to developing packaging and Point of Sale material.
Significant progress has been made in reducing, improving, and removing packaging across our portfolio of brands.
In 2022, Irish Distillers received a Gold Award in the ‘Plastic Pledge’ category at Repak’s Pakman Awards which recognises organisations excelling in sustainable packaging innovation and change.
