WHAT IS A CERTIFIED B CORPORATION™?
B Corps meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance. We’re part of a global movement made up of almost 4,000 companies in 74 countries that span over 150 different industries, all setting out to reduce our impact on communities, people and the planet and use business as a force for good.

A note from Sam, Sipsmith Co-Founder
After achieving our B Corp certification on 17 May 2021, we created our strategy – Crafting a Better Future – to explain our sustainability commitments and plans. The strategy provided us with a roadmap to maintain and improve our environmental and social performance because we had no intention of resting on our laurels once we had become a B Corp. In Crafting a Better Future (version 1), we resolved to work hard to increase our B Corp score of 83.2 by 25 points by 2025, although we knew it would be no easy thing to do.
Crafting a Better Future has served us well and we have proudly reported our progress in our next two Impact Reports for 2021 and 2022, showing that we have made incremental progress that has been built on the things that helped us to achieve B Corp status. In January 2023, we refreshed
Crafting a Better Future to support our preparations for B Corp recertification.
The following Impact Report explains our progress against version 2 of Crafting a Better Future and we are delighted to tell you about what we have been up to in 2023. Our sustainability story has evolved with the enthusiasm and support of the whole Sipsmith team of our swans – past and present – and this report shows that we have all continued work tirelessly to prepare for our recertification year. In the report, we also celebrate the
partnerships that have supported our sustainability aspirations, whether they are with our parent group Suntory Global Spirits, our suppliers, our customers, our charities, other B Corps or our local community.
Finally, I would like to extend my special thanks to the Kaizen! Team and the Diversity, Equality & Inclusion Committee for the time and effort they have put in during 2023, helping us to move closer to our vision of being the best gin in the world for the world.

What does being a B Corp mean for Sipsmith?
B Corps are measured based on five key pillars: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. Find out more below:
Governance evaluates our overall mission, social/environmental impact, ethics, and transparency
Workers evaluates our contributions to our swans’ financial security, health & safety, wellness, career development, and engagement & satisfaction.
Community evaluates our engagement with and impact on the communities in which we operate, hire from, and source from.
Environment evaluates our overall environmental practices as well as our impact on the air, climate, water, land, and biodiversity
Customers evaluates our stewardship of our sippers through our products, ethical marketing, data privacy and security, and feedback channels.
