Some of Mezcal Amarás current initiatives:

ORGANIC REPLANTING PROGRAM

• We sow organic as our standard practice.
• We plant, on average, seven agaves for every one agave harvested since 2014.
• We compost, giving back to the earth what she has given us.

WILD AGAVE RESCUE

• We harvest wild agaves only when there is a strict replanting plan in place to preserve the species.
• We grow 12 species of agave in our nurseries and plantations, as well as in collaboration with our agave partners.

HORIZONTAL GROWTH

• We produce and buy artisanal & ancestral mezcal.
• We collaborate with 20 Maestros Mezcaleros currently to help preserve the craftsmanship and traditions of mezcal, creating jobs and stimulating economic growth across multiple regions.
• We create jobs, impacting more than 500 people in areas with high marginalization rates.
• We train, offering state-of-the-art training programs for local distillers and Maestros Mezcaleros.

FAIR PRICE

• We are committed to paying a fair price, on time, for each liter of mezcal we buy.
• We have improved the standard of living of 20 Maestros Mezcaleros and their families, raising them above the poverty line, through actions endorsed by internationally recognized NGOs.

CARBON NEUTRAL STATUS

• We are the world’s first carbon neutral mezcal company. We offset our carbon emissions by purchasing bonds that finance projects that generate sustainable energy.
• We know our carbon footprint and we work actively to mitigate it.

ALLIANCES WITH OTHER NGOS

• In partnership with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), we develop diverse advocacy initiatives in support of forests, soil conservation, and water care.
