Sustainability Report 2023
In addition to the People, Planet, Processes Strategy, Stock Spirits Group is publishing its Sustainability Report. In 2023, the Group made significant strides in sustainable development, completing key projects like the construction of a state-of-the-art distillery in Lublin, Poland, an investment of EUR 50 million. In September 2023, the company completed four strategic acquisitions: Clan Campbell Scotch whisky and Dugas in France, Polmos Bielsko - Biala in Poland and Borco (now Stock Spirits GmbH) in Germany. These moves have strengthened the Group's position in Europe – now the fourth position in terms of value and volume market shares in 2023[3] in Europe - and have paved the way to drive sustainable practices wherever it is present.
The Group's commitment to sustainability has been recognised with an EcoVadis Silver Medal, placing it in the top 9% of the spirits industry globally. The Group aspires to attain a Platinum Medal by 2027.
Reflecting on the new Sustainability Strategy and Sustainability Report, Jean-Christophe Coutures, CEO of Stock Spirits Group summarised the Group's progress: "The year 2023 marked a dynamic transformation of our business and significant progress in our sustainability efforts. We have undertaken numerous projects that will enable us to fulfil the commitments outlined in our revised Sustainability Strategy 'People, Planet, Processes'. One of our standout achievements in 2023 was the completion of a cutting-edge distillery in Lublin. Due to its efficiency and the way it enables us to control quality, it is one of the most modern in Europe.
We are proud to be a signatory of the commitment letter of the Science Based Targets initiative. One of our ambitions is to cut GHG emissions in scope 1 and 2 by 42% and in scope 3 by minimum 20%
by 2030. We also regularly undergo external assessments by EcoVadis. Our efforts were recognised with a Silver Medal in 2023 and our goal is to attain the Platinum Medal by 2027.
Our ambition is to lead ESG activities in Central Europe and make sustainability a key contributor to our competitiveness and differentiation across Europe. I am convinced that only those companies that
develop in a sustainable and transparent way can build a long-term future and enjoy the trust of their stakeholders."
