our progress

POLLINATOR GARDENS

Butterflies play a crucial role in our ecosystem serving as primary pollinators for the sugarcane we use in crafting our rum, so we create happy environments for them.

BAT CONSERVATION

Bats are essential for our ecosystem and our rum production, which is why we care for them in Puerto Rico with special devices and shelters.

WILDLIFE CERTIFICATE

BACARDÍ received the first Wildlife Habitat Council Certification in Puerto Rico for our conservation efforts toward bats and pollinators like bees and butterflies.

JACKSONVILLE ZOO

We partnered with the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens to aid the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s bat monitoring program.

CHARCO BENDITO

We protected and restored Charco Bendito, a precious ecosystem in Mexico providing water to a whole community, by planting trees and providing access to safe drinking water.

WE FEEL A great RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT NATURAL RESOURCES WITH THE HOPE TO INSPIRE OTHERS TO DO THE SAME.

POLLINATor GARDENS

We’re really proud to receive the first Wildlife Habitat Council Certification in Puerto Rico, awarded to us for our conservation efforts towards bats and pollinators like bees and butterflies. Small but mighty, these creatures are a crucial part of our ecosystem, serving as primary pollinators for the sugarcane we use to craft our rum. By protecting this delicate ecosystem, we help preserve a future for us all.

OUR SIGNATURE

BAT CONSERVATION

For us, bats are more than just a logo. They’re our passion and our partners in protecting the environment. After we discovered them nesting in our first ever distillery in 1862, we believed them to be a symbol of good fortune, which is why we made them our logo! Because of their role in pollination and pest control, bats are essential to our ecosystem and rum production. That’s why we care for them in Puerto Rico with special devices and shelters.

OCEAN CONSERVATION

We partnered with Lonely Whale, an ocean conservation organisation, to launch #TheFutureDoesntSuck campaign. The goal was to remove one billion single-use plastic straws by 2020 and inspire people and businesses to join us in this mission.

Taking care of and giving back to the nature around us.
