Stock Spirits Group Celebrates Sustainability and People Practices Recognition

In a notable achievement, Stock Spirits Group has been recognized for its outstanding sustainability efforts and people-centered practices, marking a significant milestone with EcoVadis Gold medal for the third year in a row and a certification as a Top Employer in both Poland and the Czech Republic for 2026. These accolades reflect the company's dedication to enhancing its performance in sustainability and workplace environment.

The recent assessment by EcoVadis awarded Stock Spirits its best sustainability score yet, achieving a remarkable 87 out of 100. This score places Stock Spirits among the elite, ranking it in the top 1% of spirits producers evaluated by EcoVadis, as well as within the top 5% of over 175,000 companies assessed globally. This improvement of five points from the previous year underscores the company's ongoing commitment to sustainable business practices.

CEO Steven Libermann commented on the significance of these recognitions, emphasizing the dual focus on sustainability and creating a conducive environment for employees. He stated, "Strong performance depends on how we operate as a responsible business and the environment we create for our people. These two recognitions give us independent measures of the progress we are making on both."

Stock Spirits' EcoVadis results come on the heels of the publication of their 2025 Sustainability Report and the submission of their emissions reduction targets to the Science Based Targets initiative for independent validation. This proactive approach demonstrates their commitment to establishing a robust Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) agenda while enhancing the company’s accountability and transparency regarding its sustainability goals.

The Top Employer certification, awarded by the Top Employers Institute, is prestigious as it is based on a rigorous audit of HR policies and practices. The evaluation considers various areas including People Strategy, Work Environment, Talent Acquisition, Learning, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, and Wellbeing. Stock Spirits Group stood out in its contributions towards Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, which were noted as particular strengths in both Poland and the Czech Republic.

Beata Górniak, Chief People Officer at Stock Spirits, expressed her enthusiasm over the recognition, stating, "We are particularly pleased that our approach to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Rewards & Recognition, and Sustainability was recognized as a strength in both markets. These elements are crucial for attracting, fostering, and retaining exceptional talent, creating an environment where they can thrive and make impactful contributions."

The journey doesn’t stop here; Stock Spirits acknowledges the need for continuous improvement. The certifications act as a mirror reflecting both strengths and opportunities for growth. Górniak mentioned the importance of humility in receiving this recognition, asserting their commitment to enhancing the areas identified for improvement in their ongoing employee and sustainability journey.
