Bacardi Awarded Carbon Trust Standard
Bermuda based Bacardi Limited announced its United Kingdom operations have been awarded the Carbon Trust Standard after taking action to measure, manage and reduce its carbon footprint by nearly 13% over three years.
The collective amount of savings totals more than 4,400 tons of CO2, equivalent to the emissions from taking 1,128 UK cars off the road per year . The global operations of Bacardi reduced carbon emissions by nearly 18 percent during the same time period.
“Achieving the Carbon Trust Standard in the UK further demonstrates how seriously we take our environmental responsibilities, and underlines the effectiveness of our rigorous efforts to reduce carbon emissions on both a regional and global scale. This shows we are at the forefront when it comes to carbon management best practices,” said Jon Grey, senior vice president of Global Operations with Bacardi.
“This certification reinforces our commitment to be a leader in corporate responsibility in the spirits industry and showcases our environmental credentials. Bacardi is in constant pursuit of greater benefits for our consumers, customers, employees and the environment and we continually look for ways to build trust in our brands.”
Carbon Trust Standard General Manager Harry Morrison added, “We congratulate Bacardi’s UK operations on their achievement of the Carbon Trust Standard. Today, being a good carbon citizen isn’t just about looking good on paper. Achieving the Carbon Trust Standard gives Bacardi the true emissions data they need to build the appropriate carbon reduction strategies and set the right path in the UK.”
