Four Pillars Catalogue
In April 2022, we became the first gin distillery in Australia to achieve carbon neutral product certification for our gins bottled onsite at the distillery, as well as organisation certification for the entire Four Pillars business (which is pretty awesome if we do say so ourselves). Awarded by Climate Active (an Australian government initiative), this certification is only given to businesses that have reached a state of achieving zero net emissions. We achieved product carbon neutral certification after working with Climate Active and Ndevr Environmental for over a year, tracking our gin’s full journey, from what goes into the gin, to how it is made, and to where it goes beyond the distillery door. And thanks to our partners at
Lion, we were able to achieve carbon neutrality for our business operations by being included in the boundary of Lion Australia’s organisation certification, which was awarded in 2021. We’ve always done our best to recycle, reuse and reduce our impact on the environment. From turning the spent oranges from our Rare Dry Gin distillations into our much-loved Made From Gin orange marmalade, to installing solar panels on the roof of our distillery, to now offsetting what can be an energy-intensive production process. When we’re lucky enough to call somewhere like the magnificent Yarra Valley home, we reckon we’re doing no more or less than what should be expected.
Gin is piped and tonic is kegged directly into Beth’s Bar, eliminating 29 tonnes of glass waste per year.
Spent botanicals are reused in our Made From Gin food range or as mulch for local gardens. Our Gin Garden is planted with local natives and spent botanicals.
