Zamora Company shows progress in decarbonisation plan
Spanish drinks firm Zamora Company has said it is now operating on 82% renewable energy following the release of its sixth Conscious Company report.
The Madrid-headquartered company releases its Conscious Company report each year as part of its commitment to align with the United Nations’ 2030 agenda and 17 sustainable development goals.
Zamora Company initially invested €6.7 million (US$7.8m) into the plan when it debuted in 2020.
A 2026-2028 Sustainability Master Plan has also been drawn up so all its brands can fall under the same global commitments.
After the release of last year’s report, Zamora Company aimed to operate on 90% renewable energy and reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 15% by the end of 2025.
In 2025, the company reached 82% renewable energy consumption and recycled 95% of waste generated at its production facilities, which was up by 61% on the previous year. Its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions are also down 42% compared to 2020.
For context, renewable sources accounted for 61.7% of Zamora’s energy use in 2024.
Other sustainability highlights that the company listed were reducing the weight of winery Ramón Bilbao’s main bottle, which avoided the use of 155 tons of glass, and improvements in water management where consumption dedicated to spirits manufacturing was down by 15.9%, with water used for vineyard irrigation 26.9% lower.
It also obtained a Silver certification from global sustainability assessment platform EcoVadis in September.
Furthermore, the use of locally-sourced raw materials was a focus for Zamora Company last year. The company brought 8,000 tons of local agricultural products linked to the regions where its plants are located, such as PGI Sorrento lemons for its limoncello brand Villa Massa.
CEO of Zamora Company, Javier Pijoan, said: “2025 was a year of challenges that we addressed with the serenity and strength provided by our sustainability management, which we call the Conscious Company Model.
“For Pijoan, the acquisition last year of a majority stake in Bodegas Godeval – one of the most prestigious and recognised wineries in the Valdeorras Designation of Origin – along with progress in environmental, social, and governance aspects – are the result of a responsible, efficient, and sustainable growth strategy that is deeply committed to society and the environment.”
The ‘year of challenges’ also saw Zamora Company fail to post growth in 2025. From 2021-2023, the company enjoyed three successive record years of growth.
Its spirits brands include its flagship liqueur Licor 43, as well as Villa Massa Limoncello and Martin Miller’s Gin.
Zamora Company sustainability commitments also extend to social undertakings.
The company said it has contributed more than €659.000 (US$753,000) to its social and community initiatives last year, collaborated with job centres that promote integrating people with disabilities, and worked on a corporate training plan that delivered 62 training initiatives.
Zamora Company finished fiscal 2025 with a registered workforce of more than 580 employees.
