Sustainability Commitment
In 2020, Diageo launched its ten-year sustainability plan, "Society 2030: Spirit of Progress," focusing on pioneering 'grain to glass' sustainability with clear targets. By 2030, we aim for Net Zero carbon emissions in our direct operations, including Bundaberg Rum Distillery, and by 2050 across our entire value chain. Our goals also include reducing water usage per drink by 30% and ensuring all packaging is recyclable, with 60% made from recycled materials. We've made strides by installing a 160kW solar system at our Distillery Visitor Experience Centre, cutting electrical use by approximately 260 megawatt hours and saving over 200 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. For more details, refer to our Spirit of Progress ESG action plan. In June 2023, the Bundaberg Rum Visitor Experience became Australia's first tourism operator to achieve global standard sustainability certification through Ecotourism Australia's Sustainable Tourism Certification. This certification assures guests that their experience is backed by strong sustainability practices that minimize environmental impact while enhancing cultural, community, and economic benefits.
