2. •Dedicated to corporate responsibility, Bacardi Limited has established programs to
reduce energy consumption at its facilities in Puerto Rico and elsewhere. Founded
in Santiago de Cuba in 1862, Bacardi is the largest privately held manufacturer of
spirits in the world.

3. •In order to diminish the impact of its energy use on the environment, the family-
owned company has begun to focus on using less non-renewable energy. After
taking a conservative approach to its energy accounting, it has calculated that 18%
of its energy currently comes from renewable sources.

4. •In turn, this leaves 82% of its energy still coming from non-renewable sources like
fuel oil, natural gas, and grid electricity. However, the company has reduced its
reliance on non-renewable energy by 29% since 2006. In some places, it has made
even broader improvements. At its facility in Mexico, it modernized lighting and
improved the efficiency of its bottling lines to produce a 55% drop in the amount of
energy required per case of product.
