Sustainability is what we do
The River Within is a new long-term programme between Chivas Brothers and The Deveron, Bogie and Isla Rivers Charitable Trust, Findhorn, Nairn and Lossie Rivers Trust, and the Spey Catchment Initiative to help protect and restore some of Scotland’s iconic waterways.
Learn moreWe have deployed highly efficient heat recovery technologies within the whisky distillation process, halving carbon emissions at our Glentauchers distillery. Our design process and implementation insights have been made ‘open source’, with the intention of putting collaboration ahead of competition on the road to net zero.
The heat recovery technologies, including Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) and Thermo Vapour Recompression (TVR), are designed to capture and recycle heat generated in the distillation process that would otherwise go to waste.

Learn moreFor us, sustainability and responsibility (S&R) is simply the right thing to do. It’s about giving back more than we take – and doing so in a sensible and caring way.
Our sustainability and responsibility strategy is a simple mantra: Good Times from a Good Place.
Since our founders started distilling in the 1800s, we’ve built on their foundation to create iconic brands that reach far beyond the bar.
Now, we aim to harness the power of human connection to create moments of conviviality – and reduce impact on our planet in the process.

For one day of the year, everyone at Chivas Brothers downs tools to come together and focus on volunteering in their local communities. Responsib’All Day has been a main event in our calendar since 2011, allowing teammates to reflect on our sustainability goals while demonstrating our resolve to make a positive difference to people and the planet.
In 2023, we prioritised wellness, reminding ourselves of the importance of taking better care of ourselves and others both inside and outside our workplace through wellbeing sessions and volunteering activities.
Take a look at what our teams got up to on Responsib’All Day 2023 in the video below.
