When a distillery has been perfecting its craft for generations, you expect quality. What helps Hayman Distillers stand apart is how seamlessly that heritage now pairs with a modern commitment to doing things better for the planet.
As an independent, family-owned British distillery and certified B Corp, Hayman Distillers has shown that sustainability doesn’t have to come at the expense of taste, tradition or character.
And that’s exactly what makes them a Seeing Green Solutionist of the Day.

A Classic Distillery With a Modern Point of View

Hayman Distillers is best known for its award-winning gins, crafted with precision, balance and a deep respect for botanical-driven flavor. From classic London Dry styles to more contemporary expressions, the portfolio reflects generations of distilling expertise combined with a willingness to evolve.
More recently, the company has extended that mindset into vodka with Respirited, a standout example of how innovation can enhance both quality and sustainability. Together, the gin range and Respirited vodka showcase a distillery that’s rooted in tradition, but very much focused on what comes next.
Sustainability Starts Behind the Scenes
What you don’t see on the label matters just as much. Hayman Distillers runs its distillery on 100% green energy and has made measurable progress in reducing its operational carbon footprint, including a 23% year-over-year reduction in emissions. Waste reduction is another priority, with clear targets to minimize landfill use and a long-term goal of zero waste to landfill by 2050.

The brand also takes a circular approach to ingredients. Many of the botanicals used in distillation are renewable, and some — like citrus peels — are by-products from other industries. After distillation, used botanicals aren’t discarded; they’re converted into renewable energy and nutrient-rich biofertilizer for farmers, preventing additional carbon emissions and returning value to the land.
Thoughtful Packaging, Designed to Waste Less

Hayman’s commitment to sustainability extends all the way to packaging. Bottles are fully recyclable, capsules are recyclable, and corks are compostable. For bars and restaurants, the distillery offers recyclable eco-refill boxes that significantly reduce glass use. Even online orders are shipped using recyclable packaging, ensuring that responsible choices carry through to the moment a bottle arrives at your door.

Respirited Vodka: More Taste, Less Waste
Respirited Vodka brings Hayman’s sustainability story into sharp focus. Made from 100% surplus British grain spirit generated during the distilling process, Respirited gives new life to materials that would otherwise go unused. The spirit is redistilled five times and charcoal filtered, producing a vodka that’s smooth, clean and full of character.
Crafted entirely in Britain, Respirited proves that reducing waste doesn’t mean lowering standards. In fact, the result is a vodka that stands confidently on quality alone — with sustainability baked in, not bolted on.

From renewable energy and circular production to thoughtfully designed spirits like Respirited, Hayman Distillers shows how sustainability can become a natural extension of craftsmanship rather than a marketing headline. It’s a brand that invites consumers to enjoy exceptional spirits while knowing that care has been taken every step of the way — from grain and botanicals to bottle.
And that combination of heritage, quality and genuine environmental progress is exactly why Hayman Distillers earns its place as a Seeing Green Solutionist of the Day.
