ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABILITY PJ HEGARTY ESG REPORT 2022 PJ Hegarty have completed our annual Environmental Social & Governance (ESG) report based on calendar year 2022. This was a great achievement by our ESG steering group and a very important stepping stone on our sustainability journey. Three pillars have been chosen to structure our company’s sustainability strategy. These pillars are People, Planet and Product. Highlights of the report include our company carbon footprint for years 2019 to 2022 and various carbon savings and corporate social responsibility initiatives we completed across the three pillars over the course of 2022.
WEEE COLLECTION DAY As part of the PJ Hegarty
ESG CASE STUDY: CIRCULAR ECONOMY, RE-USE OF OAK WHISKEY VATS AND BARRELS PROJECT: IDL VISITOR CENTRE, MIDLETON, CO. CORK As part of the sustainability and material recycling commitment in the IDL Visitor Centre refurbishment project it was decided to use oak timber from old whiskey vats rather than new oak. The timber was dried and processed by a timber specialist and incorporated into some of the Specialist Joinery items such as the Mezzanine Tasting Room Floor as well as the counter tops for the bars. Additionally, oak barrels used in the whiskey maturation process, were processed by a timber flooring specialist and used as type of parquet flooring in the Upper Kiln and Library Tasting Rooms. 20 m 2 of recycled material was used on counter tops while 130 m 2 was used in flooring.
