OUR HERITAGE
The people of Beam Suntory are the custodians of brands with histories measured in centuries. In 1795, a farmer and grain mill operator named Jacob Beam produced the first barrel of whiskey that would become Jim Beam, our flagship bourbon brand, now overseen by seventh generation Jim Beam Master Distiller Fred Noe.
The history of Suntory began in 1899 when the founder Shinjiro Torii started producing sweet wines. He then courageously produced the first Japanese whisky and today, Suntory is the No.1 whisky distiller in Japan, known for its flagship single malt whisky Yamazaki, Hakushu and the blended whisky Hibiki.
Suntory has at its core a “Yatte Minahare!” spirit that encourages its team to dream big … the very same values and entrepreneurial spirit that built Beam for more than 200 years and that guide Beam Suntory as a global leader in premium spirits.

GROWING FOR GOODCorporate Social Responsibility at Beam Suntory
Good corporate citizenship and social responsibility are central to our business, and fundamental to our culture. We focus on three primary areas: protecting water and the environment, supporting our communities, and promoting responsible consumption of our products.
We invest time, resources and energy in fulfilling these commitments - not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because these efforts help define our character and amplify the passion of our people.
Our vision of “Growing for Good” has been inspired by Suntory Holdings’ leadership in this area, and its commitment to passing down a sustainable society for future generations.
WATER AND THE ENVIRONMENT
With water and grain at the center of nearly every product we create, we uphold high manufacturing standards and commit to sustainable practices throughout our supply chain. Over the last decade, we’ve invested more than $60 million in technology and systems to reduce environmental impacts.
WaterOur efforts in water are focused on creating natural water sanctuaries, watershed protection planning and enhancing water quality testing and specifications. Below are just a few of the many programs Beam Suntory has underway to preserve water quality for future generations.
Inspired by Suntory’s unwavering dedication to water quality and sustainability, Beam Suntory has initiated programs across its Kentucky distilleries to protect the sustainable source of local limestone water for bourbon distillation and the local community for generations to come.
Maker’s Mark® is establishing a 33-acre natural water sanctuary on its distillery grounds, conditioning the soil, planting trees and wildflowers, and creating nesting boxes for native birds. To preserve and protect the overall water quality of the creeks that run through our properties, Beam Suntory also partners with the University of Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute for watershed protection planning.
Our brands have also undertaken efforts to provide access to water in their communities. Sauza has developed a process to purify and reclaim wastewater to irrigate the town of Tequila, Mexico, refilling fire trucks, and reducing annual groundwater consumption by up to 70% in this water-stressed area. Sauza has been recognized as one of the top ten companies in Mexico for waste reduction and has received multiple awards for corporate social responsibility.
In India, Beam Suntory has invested in rainwater harvesting that helps replenish the water table and reuse water. Beam Suntory also partners
with Water Health International in India to help ensure access to safe drinking water, and provides education to help eradicate water-borne diseases.
In St. Croix, a new process water reuse system will help reduce annual water usage by more than 75%. This new system also improves the quality of the water that is released from our distillery to the Caribbean Sea.
EnvironmentThrough the Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER), Beam Suntory works with industry peers to advance environmental sustainability within the total beverage sector. This group shares best practices to shape environmental strategy for the broader industry by benchmarking performance for water, energy and greenhouse gases.
Sauza is a sustainability leader in Mexico. Through a partnership with the Tequila Regulatory Commission and the Molina Center for Strategic Studies in Energy and the Environment, Sauza is leading development of best practice guidelines for sustainable tequila supply chains.
Beam Suntory’s operations take their role in protecting local native species and habitats very seriously. The Ardmore distillery is a longtime supporter of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds “Species Champion” Award. Courvoisier sponsors fields of wildflowers and bee hives with corporate and employee donations to protect the bee population in Cognac, France. Similar programs are also underway at the Jim Beam and Maker’s Mark distilleries in Kentucky.
The Jim Beam® Forest Stewardship Education Program is a partnership with Independent Stave, our barrel supplier, state universities and forestry departments to sponsor stewardship education for loggers and land owners. This program will grow annually to promote responsible forestry practices and ensure sustainable white oak supplies.

COMMUNITIES
We support the communities where our people live and work. Below are just a few of the important causes we support.
Maker’s Mark has created hundreds of special edition commemorative bottles to support important causes, raising more than $15 million over the last 20 years. Beneficiaries have included the University of Louisville, University of Kentucky, Keeneland race track, Kentucky Horse Park, and many more.
Beam Suntory partners with Operation Homefront, a nonprofit organization that provides emergency financial and other assistance to families of U.S. service members and wounded warriors. Since the partnership’s inception in 2008, Beam Suntory and Jim Beam have donated nearly $3.5 million in cash and in kind, as well as thousands of volunteer hours to support military families in need.
One Beam Suntory employee, moved by a chance encounter with a military family in 2009, inspired the Holiday Meals for Military program. Run by Operation Homefront, and including additional sponsors, this program served 12,500 meals in 2016, and is expected to grow to 25,000 in 2018.
In Kentucky, the heartland of our business with more than 1,000 employees, our offices and plants raise funds for local United Way chapters together each year. Our teams have donated nearly $1.4 million including corporate matching funds over the last decade to strengthen Kentucky communities.
The Laphroaig® Legacy Fund supports local businesses, community projects, and individual skills on the island of Islay, Scotland. The fund is designated to offer financial help, advice and mentoring for those committed to increasing employment, attracting tourism, and providing services that make island life more fulfilling.
Our commitment to our communities includes the local arts and environment, partnering with organizations such as the Chicago Botanic Garden and Ravinia Music Festival, which serve the Chicago area.
Beam Suntory is honored to support our employees who demonstrate generosity and charity every day through our Beam Suntory Cares Program. We encourage employees to serve their communities in the way that’s most meaningful to them with up to two paid days off annually. This could amount to more than 72,000 hours to serve communities around the world each year!

RESPONSIBILITY
Beam Suntory’s commitment to responsible consumption is fundamental to everything we do. We sponsor and fund a wide array of programs, partnerships and associations across the globe focused on responsible marketing, alcohol education, and reducing drunk driving and underage drinking. Our investments in these programs has exceeded $20 million over the past decade. Just a few of these initiatives are listed below.
Relaunched as a global platform available in seven languages in 2016, Drink Smart® is our proprietary platform for communicating with consumers about alcohol education, responsible consumption and making a plan before consuming alcohol. Beam Suntory has also voluntarily committed to providing nutrition information about its products at DrinkSmart.com by the end of 2017. www.drinksmart.com
As founding members of the International Alliance for Responsible Drinking (IARD), we have signed Global Commitments to reduce alcohol misuse, through commitments for reducing underage drinking, strengthening and expanding marketing codes of practice, reducing drunk driving, providing responsible product innovation and consumer information and enlisting retailer support. www.iard.org
Beam Suntory is a proud, founding sponsor of the National Center for DWI Courts and Justice for Vets. Through this partnership, we fund the
establishment of drug and alcohol courts that give the most dangerous, repeat offenders access to the care they need, and reduce the rate of recidivism. DWI Court participants are up to nineteen times less likely to reoffend than those sentenced by a traditional court. www.dwicourts.org
We also invest in alcohol education programs that provide locally-relevant information to consumers in our key markets, such as the Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility (FAAR) in the United States. Beam Suntory partners with FAAR to eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking and promote responsible decision making when it comes to alcohol. www.responsibility.org
In the UK, Beam Suntory is a key supporter of Drinkaware, an independent charity aiming to reduce alcohol-related harm by helping people make better choices about drinking, providing impartial information, advice and practical resources. www.drinkaware.co.uk
Beam Suntory is an active member of Drinkwise Australia, an independent, not-for-profit organization focused on nurturing a healthier and safer drinking culture in Australia by developing and implementing a range of educational campaigns, and providing practical resources about alcohol use. www.drinkwise.org.au
