In the village of Pessione, just outside Turin, Italy, the largest Martini vermouth production facility in the world (pictured) has been almost exclusively powered from renewables and hydroelectricity since 2010.
Giorgio Castagnotti, Martini Operations Director, responsible for all operations at the Pessione site, which has been in operation for more than 150 years, said: ‘With the use of renewable energy, we have cut CO2 emissions for the brand by almost a third, equivalent to removing 700 cars from the highway.’
