Social Responsibility

Our approach to social responsibility is shaped by three key priorities:

  • employee wellbeing
  • alcohol and responsibility
  • environment and sustainability

Employee wellbeing

It is important that everyone working for Liberty Wines feels happy and valued in the workplace. We are accredited by Investors in People and support our staff in a variety of ways. Employees and their families receive health and wellbeing support.

We support all staff in pursuing wine education qualifications through the WSET (of which we are a patron) and, where appropriate, the Institute of Masters of Wine. Our employees also have the opportunity to pursue role-specific professional qualifications.

Alcohol and responsibility

Our wines and other alcoholic beverages are enjoyed responsibly every day both on-premise and in homes across Ireland. However, as a responsible importer and wholesaler of wine we believe we have a role to play in tackling alcohol misuse. 

We market and promote our products responsibly, adhering to the spirit as well as the letter of marketing codes and regulations.

Environment and sustainability

We have seen first-hand the pressures of climate change in vineyards and olive groves. As a business, we are committed to curbing the effects of climate change to help ensure the sustainability of the global wine industry and have been certified carbon neutral since 2015.

In 2021, we went one step further and became ‘carbon neutral plus’, offsetting more emissions than the business generates to achieve a positive environmental impact.
