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.
• Clear communication with stakeholders
• Compliance with UK legal and industry standards

Continuous Improvement

We’re always looking for ways to do better. Each year, we:

• Review our environmental impact
• Set measurable targets (e.g. reducing energy or waste)
• Publish a summary of our progress on this page

Our Promise

At Thunderflower, responsibility isn’t an afterthought — it’s part of who we are. From the energy that powers our stills to the way we engage with customers and suppliers, we’re committed to making choices that feel as good as our spirits taste.
