A note from Sam, Sipsmith Co-Founder
At Sipsmith, we have always been positively fueled by purpose. Initially, we were driven to bring gin back to the city where it earned its name, crafting our London Dry Gin with uncompromising quality and innovation. March 2009 will be forever etched in my mind as the month that saw the birth of craft gin and the first distillery to open in London for just shy of 200 years. And now too, May 2021; the month we secured B Corporation™ certification and committed to our sustainability strategy, formally setting in motion our sense of purpose beyond profit; our why.
It has always been our mission to champion a better way of crafting gin and pioneer positive changes within our industry. Today sees us laying out even more ambitious plans for every single one of us to be part of crafting a better future.
Our sustainability strategy ‘Crafting a Better Future’ focuses on five missions with which we strive to be better for planet, people and to be champions of progress. Meaningful change requires a great deal of hard paddling under the surface; it demands rigour and determination. Our priority goals will ask everyone within the Sipsmith eco-system, from suppliers to our wider community, to come with us on the journey to become the active force for good we seek to be. Being part of a wider community of businesses that strive for better will give us support and encouragement to keep up momentum.
It has been an inspiring journey so far, though we are just at the beginning. With our no-half-measures approach to challenges and desire to leave a legacy, together we will be fueled forward.
