The B Corp certification is for the whole of applicants' businesses and covers five key impact areas of Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. The certification process is rigorous, companies have to provide evidence of socially and environmentally responsible practices - including energy supplies, waste and water use, worker compensation, diversity and corporate transparency.

To complete the certification, Thomson & Scott has legally embedded their commitment to purpose beyond profit in their company articles.

"As pioneers in premium non-alcoholic wine, we believe that offering consumers high-quality alternatives supports more mindful consumption and encourages innovation towards a more robust and environmentally conscious wine industry." - Amanda Thomson, Founder and CEO, Thomson & Scott

Our Commitment

At Thomson & Scott, we believe premium alcohol-free wine can contribute to a healthier and more sustainable future.

As a Certified B Corporation, we recognise that climate change is one of the defining challenges facing society, agriculture and the global wine industry. We are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our operations while working collaboratively with our suppliers, customers and partners to improve environmental performance throughout our value chain.

This Climate Action Plan sets out our approach to managing climate-related impacts and identifies the actions we will take to reduce emissions, strengthen environmental governance and support continual improvement.

Scope

This Climate Action Plan applies to all Thomson & Scott business activities, including:

- Corporate governance
- Employees and remote working
- Procurement
- Wine production partners
- Packaging suppliers
- Warehousing and logistics
- Sales and marketing
- Business travel

As a brand owner, Thomson & Scott does not own manufacturing or warehousing facilities. Consequently, the majority of our environmental impact arises through our supply chain, making supplier engagement central to our climate strategy.

Climate Governance

Responsibility for this Climate Action Plan rests with the Board of Directors.

The Board will review this plan annually alongside:

- Company Purpose
- Stakeholder Governance
- Environmental performance
- Supplier ESG performance
- Annual B Corp Impact Report

Climate considerations form part of strategic decision-making through the Board Impact Charter.

Our Current Position

Thomson & Scott operates a relatively low-impact business model.

We:

- do not own production facilities
- do not own warehouses
- outsource manufacturing to specialist wineries
- work with recognised logistics partners

The majority of our greenhouse gas emissions occur within our supply chain, including:

- wine production
- packaging manufacture
- warehousing
- freight and logistics
- customer deliveries

Our Climate Objectives

Between 2026 and 2029 Thomson & Scott will:

1. Reduce Operational Emissions

2. Improve Supply Chain Transparency

Continue collecting environmental performance information from strategic suppliers covering:

- energy use
- carbon emissions
- renewable energy
- water consumption

- environmental certifications

3. Support Responsible Wine Production

Continue working with wineries demonstrating strong environmental performance, including recognised certifications and continual investment in resource efficiency.

4. Improve Supplier Governance

Maintain annual ESG reviews of key suppliers and encourage continual improvement through our Supplier Code of Conduct and Supplier ESG Questionnaire.

5. Reduce Environmental Impact of Packaging

Continue reviewing packaging specifications to identify opportunities to reduce material use while maintaining product quality and consumer experience.

6. Reduce Business Travel

Prioritise virtual meetings wherever practical and encourage efficient travel planning where travel is necessary.

7. Promote Environmental Awareness

Encourage employees and suppliers to contribute ideas that improve environmental performance across the business.

Current Environmental Activities

Examples of current initiatives include:

- Supplier environmental assessments
- Annual ESG reviews
- Supplier Code of Conduct
- Collection of environmental performance data from strategic wineries

- Monitoring & Review

Progress against this Climate Action Plan will be reviewed annually by the Board.

The review will consider:

- climate-related risks
- progress against objectives
- opportunities for continual improvement

Where appropriate, objectives will be updated to reflect changes in the business, scientific understanding and stakeholder expectations.

Our long-term ambition is to strengthen environmental governance; improve environmental data collection;
work collaboratively with suppliers to reduce environmental impacts; support responsible and regenerative wine production; maintain transparency with customers and stakeholders; and
demonstrate leadership within the premium alcohol-free wine sector.
