Sustainability
We are committed to preserving and protecting our community and the environment we live in. Naturally, sustainability is at the core of everything we do.
Ingredients
The botanicals used in the production of our gin include some harvested from our own garden and are sourced with attention to quality and environmental responsibility. We value the balance between tradition and innovation, and are committed to improving our environmental practices over time.

Packaging
Our packaging is made from FSC-certified materials, and we support non-profit organizations committed to global reforestation and the protection of our planet. We have reduced the amount of glass used in our bottles and have begun using more sustainable materials for both the label and the bottle closure, as part of our broader effort to minimize our environmental impact.

Our online shop
Since the launch of our new website, we have removed all the plastic parts from the shipping packaging. Shipping boxes are made either from recycled or FSC certified sources paper. Filler materials are made from 100% recycled paper or from natural corn starch, which is fully biodegradable and compostable.
We are constantly on the look for new, sustainable solutions in order to reduce waste. Please reuse, recycle (and drink responsibly).
One Ocean Foundation
Starting in 2023, we have signed a long-term partnership with One Ocean Foundation: an international environmental protection project that has been pushing towards a "blue economy" and ocean literacy since 2017. As donors, we support concrete actions with a particular focus on those aimed at preserving the Portofino area. These include the upcoming joint project aimed at replanting the Tigullio Gulf with the Posidonia Oceanica: a seagrass which plays an important role in the marine ecosystem, by capturing carbon dioxide (CO2), generating oxygen and providing habitat and nutrition for many species of fish, crustaceans and molluscs.
Green Future Project
Since 2024, we’ve partnered with Green Future Project to measure and reduce our carbon footprint. They help companies like ours embed transparency, responsibility, and stakeholder engagement at the core of their sustainability efforts. This collaboration allows us to track our environmental impact with precision and implement data-driven improvements—because accountability is the first step toward meaningful change.
Urban Bike Messengers
We started our collaboration with Urban Bike Messengers in April 2024. This Milan-based company provides zero-emission deliveries by bicycle, which we use for both our e-commerce shipments and internal deliveries. The partnership is ongoing and, in 2024 alone, helped us avoid approximately 90 kg of CO₂ emissions. It’s a tangible step toward more sustainable logistics and greener urban mobility.
Planet
Since June 2024, we’ve been offsetting the carbon emissions generated by our e-commerce orders. Through this initiative, we actively compensate for the environmental impact of our online sales. In the first 10 months of the program, we have offset 181 kg of CO₂, a meaningful step toward more responsible and climate-conscious commerce.
ecoSPIRITS™
We are among the first in its category to join ecoSPIRITS™, an innovative closed-loop distribution system designed to eliminate single-use glass in the spirits industry. At the core of the system is the ecoTOTE™, a reusable and fully recyclable container that replaces traditional bottles in bars, restaurants, and events — significantly reducing glass waste and carbon emissions. Since we joined the initiative in 2023, 69 ecoTOTE™ units carrying our brand have been sold through both our direct sales and our distribution partners.
Chefs For Life
Portofino Dry Gin supported Chefs for Life from 2022 to 2024, a movement that turns culinary creativity into solidarity. By hosting exclusive charity dinners featuring top chefs, they support humanitarian associations, emphasizing the value of life. Over 200 chefs have joined this impactful initiative, making a difference through food and compassion.
One Tree Planted
Since May 2023, and throughout 2024, we’ve partnered with One Tree Planted, a non-profit organization dedicated to global reforestation. They work with local communities and experts to plant trees in areas affected by deforestation, biodiversity loss, or environmental degradation. Through this collaboration, we’ve contributed to the planting of 590 trees, helping to restore ecosystems, support biodiversity, and combat climate change — one tree at a time.
