Earth Day is this weekend and we want to take a moment to reflect on the impact our actions have on the planet.
At Spirits Network, we are committed to lifting up brands that are doing their part to reduce our environmental footprint. From a canned cocktail that is committed to preserving our bee population to a Cachaça that is increasing the number of organically certified farmers in Brazil, we celebrate the steps that our partner brands are taking to make a difference on this planet.
"Siponey Spritz Co.™ is on a mission to change the way the world drinks with better ingredients and by keeping the environment at the forefront of the spirits business. As the first-ever B Corp certified cocktail company, we make spirit-based canned cocktails that are fizzy and delicious, and that are environmentally conscious from production to consumption. Siponey Spritz Co.™ has identified honeybees as the first step in recovering the environment. We give back at least 2% of our annual revenue to non-profit environmental organizations — those who are spending 100% of their time saving the planet — all while we have fun doing what we do best, making the most delicious cocktails around.”

“Whilst there is still some way to go, it’s great to see the spirits industry moving in the right direction when it comes to reducing its overall carbon footprint. This has always been a long term objective of our distillery - the fewer artificial chemical products used (which in our case is zero), and the more we do to work closely with local farmers and communities, the better the cachaça, the better the environment and the better for everyone - long live the sustainable Caipirinha!"
