The conscious choice
A PIONEER IN SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS
We are not philanthropists, but we want to inspire consumers to make sustainable choices when reaching for an item on the shelf. For us, it’s about showing consideration throughout the entire value chain at the same time that we run a healthy business. With taste as a compass, our mission is to develop and promote completely innovative sustainable quality products at fair prices. And it obliges.
Innovation in product development as well as the entire value chain
Just like tomorrow’s consumer, we know that it contributes to an already fantastic taste experience when the product is manufactured responsibly and sustainably. Now just take ours Ron Sostenible, which means sustainable rum in Spanish. The rum is produced at one of the world’s greenest distilleries in the Dominican Republic. From here it is transported in barrels on a sailing ship – completely without engine power. Only when the rum arrives in Europe is it poured into bottles made from remelted 96% recycled glass. It radically reduces C02 emissions.
Sustainability is at the heart of what we do
Throughout the value chain, we have our eyes fixed on how our business affects our sustainable footprint. Our attitude and behavior are rooted in three values: Responsibility, Respect and Trust. In this way, we support the UN’s Global Goals, especially the global goals nr. 8, 12 og 13.
For A Clean Spirit it is always about:
→ Green Sustainability – we commit to a sustainable value chain from raw materials, through manufacturing to climate-friendly transport and packaging.
→ Social Sustainability – we strive to run a business that reflects our attitude to social and local responsibility.
→ Economic Sustainability – we want to prove that conversion to a more sustainable procurement practice results in black numbers on a green bottom line.
→ Creative Sustainability – we constantly seek to innovate tasteful quality products and value chain solutions by challenging conventions and the ‘impossible’.
