GWS
Global Wine & Spirits is a leading wine and spirits company in Colombia, with over a decade of experience importing and distributing premium beverages. In 2023, in response to regulatory changes and a strategic decision by senior leadership, the company began building its sustainability strategy, aiming to align growth with responsible practices and international standards such as B Corp certification.
The Challenge
The challenge was to support a traditional company in building a clear sustainability path. This meant organizing existing initiatives, strengthening internal capabilities, and developing a strategy to enable real progress and work toward B Corp certification.
The Solution
-
Partnered with GWS to define its sustainability strategy, organizing existing initiatives and building a long-term roadmap.
-
Conducted value chain mapping and a materiality assessment, and defined ESG pillars and priority projects.
-
Developed the foundations of its environmental management system and its first sustainability report under GRI standards.
-
Set the path toward B Corp certification.
Outcome
GWS established its first comprehensive sustainability strategy, defining ESG pillars and prioritizing key initiatives. It met more than 80% of new legislative requirements, advanced its B Corp certification process with about 76 points, and measured its carbon footprint for the first time at 481.9 tCOâ‚‚e.
The organization also began implementing strategic initiatives, including closed-loop bottle systems, supply chain collaboration, and workforce development.
