Global Drinks Intel announces winners of ESG Awards 2024

The winners of the second annual Global Drinks Intel ESG Awards have been announced.

The results were unveiled on Monday (30 September) at a dedicated evening event during the TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in Cannes. Now in their second year, the ESG Awards raise the awareness – and recognise the achievements – of those beverage alcohol companies and brands that are leading the way in Environment, Social and Governance activities.

Among the winners were smaller brands, including The Boatyard Distillery, Tequila Komos and SXOLLIE Cider, whose innovative approaches to ESG caught the eye of Global Drinks Intel’s highly-experienced and strongly qualified panel of judges. Joining them were some of the more-recognised brand owners such as Diageo and Rémy Cointreau.

“For the second year, we were overwhelmed by the high number of entries to Global Drinks Intel’s ESG Awards,” said COO & marketing director Kate Wake-Walker. “We’ve always believed this initiative has an important role to play in our industry – a belief supported by the strong level of engagement.

“We’re already looking forward to an even bigger and better competition in 2025.”
