Bus Whisky is the most sustainable whisky distillery inthee Netherlands, its production is almost entirely circular.

They use no fertilizers or pesticides in doing so and they invest in biodiversity and regenerative agriculture on their fields.
Hurkmans says: "We work with solar panels, solar water heaters, heat pumps and all our cars are electric. Furthermore, we make biodegradable building materials from our brewers' dregs and reuse athe de residual heat fthem de whisky distilleThe."

That doesn't always have to do with money. Buthede nice thing is that sustainability also often leads to savings and therefore ultimately to a better business case."
