Flor de Caña has recently been recognized as the “Best Sustainable Rum Distillery” by The Ultimate Awards, an event aimed at highlighting companies that are leading the industry with sustainable practices, exhibiting a strong commitment to a greener future. This distillery has become the first in the world to be both Carbon Neutral and Fair Trade certified.
Ever since its inception in 1890, Flor de Caña has shown an unyielding commitment to sustainability, a pledge that extends beyond just the production of rum. Over the years, they have integrated ecological and ethical practices throughout their entire production cycle, from field to market, thus achieving Carbon Neutral certification from the Carbon Trust (UK) and Fair Trade certification from Fair Trade USA.
The Carbon Neutral distinction indicates that the company offsets all the carbon emissions generated during the full lifecycle of their products. Meanwhile, the Fair Trade certification assures that the rum is manufactured sustainably and ethically, adhering to over 300 stringent labor, social, and environmental standards.
Flor de Caña has distinguished itself by implementing significant ecological practices, such as capturing and recycling all CO2 emissions during the fermentation process and utilizing 100% renewable energy in the distillation of their rum. Furthermore, they have planted one million trees since 2005 as part of their efforts to preserve the environment.
The brand doesn’t stop at production but also seeks to encourage sustainability among its consumers and in trade. One of its initiatives is the “Sustainable Cocktail Challenge,” a global competition that rewards sustainable mixology in venues aware of ecological importance, thus encouraging the building of a greener future.
Flor de Caña is not only recognized for its sustainability but also for the excellence and quality of its rum, which has been distinguished with numerous international awards, including the “Global Rum Producer of the Year” by the IWSC in London. This premium rum, produced on a family estate since 1890, is distilled using 100% renewable energy and aged naturally for up to 30 years without sugar, artificial ingredients, or any kind of additives.
