Corporate Responsibility Policy
At Thunderflower Distillery, we believe that great spirits should do good too. As a small-batch, independent producer, we’re committed to responsible, sustainable, and ethical practices that support our environment, community, and people.
Environmental Commitment
We strive to minimise our impact on the planet by:
- Reducing waste: We reuse or recycle all possible packaging and production by-products.
- Lowering emissions: Our distillery is powered by solar energy and certified sustainable electricity.
- Saving water: Our closed-loop cooling system significantly reduces water use.
- Sourcing locally: Where possible, we use locally grown botanicals to cut transport emissions and support regional producers.
Product Integrity
We take pride in crafting spirits with transparency and care:
- Clean labels: We clearly list ingredients and avoid artificial additives.
- Safe production: We meet UK alcohol, food safety, and hygiene standards.
- Responsible marketing: We promote our products to adult audiences only, never glamorising alcohol misuse.
People & Workplace
We’re building a distillery that’s good for the people behind it:
- Safe workplace: We provide a healthy, secure environment for all employees and visitors.
- Fair pay & opportunity: We offer fair wages, skills training, and flexible work where possible.
- Inclusive culture: We welcome diversity and treat everyone with respect.
Community Engagement
We are proud to be part of the Devon community and give back where we can:
- Supporting local charities and events
- Donating products or volunteering time
- Hosting educational visits and tastings
Ethical Standards
We operate with honesty, transparency, and accountability:
- We uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency in all our business dealings.

- Compliance with UK legal and industry standards
Continuous Improvement
We’re always looking for ways to do better. Each year, we:
