Annual Impact Report 2023
TREE PLANTING AND WILDFLOWER MEADOW RESTORATION
The Annual Impact Report is produced by our charity partner Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust (YDMT) each year to record and reflect on the partnership’s achievements, and our plans for the following year. Download the report here.
It’s heart-warming to see the positive impact you can have on the environment - simply by choosing to drink sustainable spirits.
Background
Since selling our first bottle of gin, we have been partnered with YMDT to help fund some of their key environmental projects: planting native broadleaf woodland since 2018 and restoring wildflower meadows since 2022.
With the long-awaited arrival of our flagship Cooper King Single Malt Whisky in 2023, we increased our commitment to protecting the environment by supporting a third project with YDMT – the Rural Apprenticeship Scheme.
Who Is Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust?

They deliver inspirational projects covering areas such as education and outreach, woodland creation, meadow restoration and heritage conservation. They exist to tackle climate change and reduce biodiversity loss, while inspiring more people to connect with nature, to learn new skills and to improve their health and wellbeing.
Since 2010, they have supported 55 young people through the rural apprenticeship scheme. More than 80% went into full-time employment or further education.
