Our planet's natural landscapes are rich, vibrant and full of biodiversity. To help take care of them for future generations, we've been working with committed groups to protect woodlands, peatlands and wildlife in Scotland.

SOUTH AMERICA SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS
In Chile, we’re proud to have partnered with Tu Mejor Huella, a committed group of environmentalists, to build over 3.5 kilometres of new trekking paths in the Torres del Paine National Park – one of Patagonia’s most iconic landscapes.

PRESERVING PEATLANDS
Our work with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (Scotland) at peatlands in Cairgorms National Park allows the peat to regenerate and support rare plants and wildlife.
Covering only 3% of the world’s surface,
peatlands store 30% of the world’s carbon.
ONE MILLION TREES
Trees. Lots of them. A million, in fact. That’s how many we’re going to plant across the four corners of Scotland before 2025.
WOODLAND RESTORATION AND REFORESTATION

Reforestation has already started near our Scotland brand homes where over 400,000 trees have been planted already. They’ll eventually absorb about 70,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

The woodland projects at Ballygowan (near Oban Distillery) and Allt Ruadh (near Glen Ord Distillery) in the Scottish Highlands, will restore vital habitats for wildlife including grouse, crossbills, and red squirrels, while helping to fight the effects of climate change.
Johnnie Walker is playing an important part in restoring nature, reversing the climate and biodiversity crises, and ultimately creating a landscape in better health for future generations.
