Giving More is one of Edrington's four core values, and it is integrated into the company's history and ownership model through The Robertson Trust.

The Robertson Trust has grown to become Scotland's largest private grant-making charitable trust. Since its inception, the Trust has donated £396 million to a wide range of charitable organisations across Scotland, supporting its mission to fund, support and champion those seeking solutions to poverty and trauma.

In the current and prior year, Edrington has triple-matched funds raised by colleagues, so £1 of funds raised becomes £4 when received by the charity. As a result, Edrington donated £4.2 million to charities around the world in 2024-25.

In Scotland, where it operates, The Robertson Trust joins Edrington in matching colleagues' charitable donations to qualifying UK charities.

In addition to charitable funding, Edrington provides colleagues with four days of paid leave to volunteer in their local community. The company encourages its workforce to dedicate this time to the causes that matter most to them. This year 29% of total Giving More days were used by colleagues.
