Rum and The Environment title
Protecting the environment is everyone’s responsibility. Rum producers, cane growers, sugarcane mills, distributors, retailers, mixologists, brand ambassadors and consumers all have the power to make or to influence change.
Earlier this year we called on our readers to nominate companies or individuals who are doing a great job running their businesses in an environmentally-friendly way. The response was overwhelming, we had a hard time narrowing down the nominees to four winners.
Our goal is for this to be the beginning of an annual tradition, designed to recognize environmental excellence in the rum industry, so please continue to send in your nominations.
Montanya Distillery
Being “environmentally friendly” can mean different things to different people. For Karen Hoskin (CEO and co-owner) it means walking the walk, going as far as inspecting the distillery’s trash to make sure employees are not throwing away items that should have been recycled!
Thanks to Karen’s efforts, Montanya Distillers is now the first distillery in Colorado -and only the third in the USA- to become a Certified B Corporation!
