Sustainability at PATRÓN Tequila | GlobalG.A.P. Certification

PATRÓN IS THE FIRST TEQUILA DISTILLERY TO BE GLOBALG.A.P. CERTIFIED

Limiting the environmental impact of tequila production is imperative at PATRÓN, which has officially certified its agricultural practices with global authority, the GlobalG.A.P.

QUICK FACTS:

  • GlobalG.A.P. is an international set of standards for safe, socially, and environmentally responsible farming practices.
  • PATRÓN is the first in the world to certify agave production with GlobalG.A.P, and is currently the only producer in Mexico with the certification. 
  • As one of the largest 100% agave tequila producers, PATRÓN’s best practices will help cascade and positively influence the rest of the industry.
  • To become certified, PATRÓN and its contract agave farmers undergo annual audits of processes, certifications, and future commitments. We are on a target to have 100% of our agave growers certified by 2024.
  • The certification creates opportunities to continue enhancing the health and social responsibility of agricultural workers employed through PATRÓN’s long-term contract farming relationships.

With the GlobalG.A.P. certification, PATRÓN continues to exemplify its leadership in the agave spirits industry by being an early implementer of world-recognized standards and demonstrating its commitment to transparency, sustainability, and improving the wellbeing of all who work with the PATRÓN brand.
