Client Intro
The Wiltshire Distilling Company produce award-winning Whisky, Gin and vodka from their distillery in the scenic Wiltshire countryside. They embarked on their B Corp journey in 2023 recognising the certificate’s alignment with their own core values, an opportunity to formalise their commitments to create a business that thrives across profit, people and planet. Through the process with the assistance of transformacy they have achieved significant improvements across operations and identified a clear path for continuous improvement.
Aim
The ambitious aim was for transformacy to deliver the highest B Corp rating for a distillery in England; this aim was achieved with an unprecedented 124 points against a threshold of 80 points.
Solution
We guided The Wiltshire Distilling Company through the B Impact Assessment, setting a strong foundation and identifying opportunities to exceed the requirements for B Corp certification. By adopting proven innovations from our toolkit, they achieved record results. The resulting Impact Report highlighted their carbon emissions data, formalised HR and internal policies, and celebrated contributions to local charities.
Results & Benefits
The Wiltshire Distilling Company achieved B Corp certification, with two Impact Business Models—one recognising their support for local economic development through their customer base and supply chain, and another for their charitable work, committing 2% of revenue to the Alice Coombes Educational Trust. As a result, they secured listings with leading stockists and stood out in a competitive spirits market. While their award-winning products demonstrate quality, the B Corp certification and branding set them apart by showcasing their values and commitment to making a positive impact.
Client Testimonial
