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 £420.7 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 partnership with The Robertson Trust, Edrington currently triple-matches funds raised by UK colleagues, meaning that every £1 raised becomes £4 for the receiving charity. The company also contributes £30 per hour to charities supported by UK colleagues who volunteer in their own time.

Internationally, colleagues can nominate charities to receive donations in recognition of their fundraising efforts. Through these initiatives, we have supported our people in donating a total of £3.2 million to charities around the world in the past year.

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 30% of total Giving More days were used by colleagues.
