Our strategy prioritizes the adoption of returnable glass bottles (RGB) in the market, representing a significant shift in our approach. We now offer some of our brands in RGB utilizing a deposit system. This transformative step replaces single-use glass bottles with new ones that can be refilled up to 25 times, thereby conserving energy and raw materials. By embracing this initiative, we anticipate a notable reduction in our carbon footprint, as RGBs can emit greenhouse gases (GHG) three times less than single-use glass bottles. Moreover, the universal format simplifies bottle returns for outlets and wholesalers, streamlining operations and enhancing sustainability efforts. This project marks a significant milestone in our journey towards minimizing the carbon footprint associated with our packaging practices.
