Committed to the Earth

Caring for natural resources and the climate isn’t simply a business concern for us. From the fields that grow our grains and agave to the water we transform into our spirits, to the oak for our barrels, we depend on the earth’s bounty. It’s about committing to the environment that sustains us, caring for the resources we share with our community, and nurturing what we have for those that come after us.

Elevating Our Environmental Commitment

In 2025, we evolved our environmental sustainability commitments. Our refreshed commitments are grounded in science, aligned with global best practices, and designed to focus our efforts on the areas where we can have the greatest impact.
