In the past year, Edrington has been continuing its sustainability strategy with further progress toward our Net Zero target. This includes the installation of a new heat recovery system at The Glenrothes Distillery and commencing an engagement project with our key suppliers and partners through the production of clear environmental guidance and discussions with our top suppliers on their own environmental commitments. Edrington also continues to report annually through the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) and has been awarded a B rating in the climate change category for a second year.
Last year we embarked on a journey to incorporate climate-related reporting, developing our reporting under the Taskforce for Climate Related Disclosure (TCFD) framework.
This report summarises our progress against the requirements of the UK Climate-related Financial Disclosure (CFD) regulations, which adopt the pillars of the TCFD framework: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets, detailing how we are identifying and managing climate risks in Edrington today, and how we plan to integrate this further over the coming years.
