INGREDIENTS THAT TASTE BETTER
The best cocktails are made using quality spirits. And quality spirits start with great ingredients. For the sugarcane that goes into our rum, we know that being sustainable is how we can guarantee high standards of taste, environmental protection, and safe working conditions for farmers. Our partnership with Bonsucro, a nonprofit dedicated to sustainable sugarcane, and other organisations such as Proterra, helps us achieve this.

CARING FOR PEOPLE
People are at the heart of BACARDÍ – that’s why we treat them like family. Our sugarcane suppliers are Bonsucro-certified for sustainability which means they adhere to global guidelines on worker welfare, health and safety, and wages. These guidelines, which include zero tolerance for child labor and discrimination, have resulted in a reduction of accidents at both mill and farm levels. We believe in fair pay and providing a safe working environment for everyone involved.

PUSHING FOR OUR GOALS
We strive for lasting change through conscious choices. Our ambitious goals center around the key ingredients: paper, cardboard, and packaging. While our main ingredient is 100% sustainably sourced, we strive to have all other materials up to the same level. These objectives align with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, driving positive, enduring impact.

Our Bonsucro certification means our workers are looked after.
