Our Commitments
Diageo believes our commitment to quality is reflected in advancing our Spirit of Progress goals across the U.S.
Pioneering
Grain-to-Glass
Sustainability
We are committed to building a resilient supply chain while being good stewards of the natural resources we depend on to produce quality brands.
Accountability in reducing carbon
1st
Our Lebanon Distillery, which produces Bulleit Bourbon, is our first 100% carbon neutral whiskey distillery in North America.
Preserving and replenishing water
We are committed to preserving and replenishing water where we operate across the world.
By 2030, we will ensure that every drink we produce will take 30% less water to make than it does today.
We have made progress recycling water in the cooling processes at our U.S. Virgin Islands distillery.
We implemented water-saving initiatives across our sites. These include optimizing boiler operations at our Shelbyville, Kentucky distillery, upgrading our water purification process at our Gimli, Manitoba, distillery and our holistic sustainability plan at our Valleyfield, Quebec facility.
Eliminating waste and
increasing recycling content
We are committed to reducing the volume of materials used, and reusing or recycling waste from our operations.
141m
Last year we removed 141 million cardboard boxes from our premium Scotch portfolio across the world.
In our first-year partnership with the ‘Don’t Trash Glass’ program, we have collected 2.2 million pounds of glass from bars and restaurants and local businesses in Illinois.
The program was recently launched in Kentucky to empower local businesses to help increase the region’s volume of recycled glass.
We transitioned our plastic 50ml. formats to 100% recycled plastic bottles (rPET) in North America. Our Seagram’s 7 Crown bottles are also made from 100% recycled PET.
