Constellation Brands Launches New Environmental Efforts

By May 29, 2023Top News

Constellation Brands, Inc., announced two new environmental stewardship commitments on April 27: pursuing a TRUE Zero Waste to Landfill Certification in key operating facilities and enhancing its use of circular packaging across its beverage alcohol portfolio, both by fiscal year 2025. These initiatives will be integrated into the company’s annual operating plans. TRUE Zero Waste to Landfill Certification is the first zero waste certification program dedicated to measuring, improving and recognizing zero waste performance by encouraging the adoption of sustainable materials management and reduction practices that contribute to positive environmental, health and economic outcomes. Constellation will execute targeted plans to reduce its ratio of packaging weight to product weight by 10% across its Wine & Spirits portfolio; ensure that 80% of packaging from its wine and spirits portfolio is returnable, recyclable or renewable; and replace hi-cone plastic rings with recyclable paperboard for all applicable 4-pack and 6-pack SKUs across its beer portfolio.
