Stock Spirits improves Gold EcoVadis sustainability score
Clan Campbell owner Stock Spirits Group is now among the top 1% of the industry for sustainability performance after being awarded the EcoVadis Gold rating.
The accreditation also positions Stock Spirits Group in the top 5% of assessed businesses worldwide.
EcoVadis is a globally trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, and assesses more than 130,000 companies around the world.
The Gold rating is given to groups that show advanced sustainability management practices and results.
This was Stock Spirits Group’s fourth EcoVadis assessment and its first incorporating the companies it bought in 2023: French distributor Dugas, blended Scotch Clan Campbell, and vodka maker Polmos Bielsko-Biała.
Jean-Christophe Coutures, CEO of Stock Spirits Group, said: “We are proud to have maintained our EcoVadis Gold rating with an improved score, recognising the continued progress we are making across our business.
“Sustainability is embedded in how we invest, operate and lead, and this award underlines our commitment to sustainable growth and to driving positive change for future generations.”
The new rating for Stock Spirits is the company’s second Gold award in a row; it achieved an overall score of 82/100 – five points higher than its previous result.
It follows the release of Stock Spirits Group’s 2024 Sustainability Report, which highlighted its ongoing commitment to sustainability across three key areas: people, planet and processes.
Coutures featured on The Spirits Business Podcast earlier this year, where he discussed sustainability alongside the company’s mergers and acquisitions, and how to create affordable, brand value in a competitive market.
