Edinburgh Based Organic Gin Company Becomes B Corp Certified



To mark B Corp month, Edinburgh-based organic Lind & Lime Gin has announced it has achieved the globally recognised B Corp accreditation, solidifying its position as a leader in ethical business practices within the spirits industry.


Founded in 2018, Lind & Lime joins only 19 gin distilleries worldwide that hold the title, becoming only the fourth Scottish gin distillery to attain the certification, alongside Botanist Gin, North Uist and The House of Botanicals.

Ian Stirling, Co-Founder of Lind & Lime said:

“The B Corp certification felt crucial for us. It validates our commitment to sustainable and responsible business practices but perhaps more importantly, it provides us with a credible and recognised framework to measure our social and environmental impact.. ‘Being a B Corp aligns with our core values and mission, serving as a guiding principle for everything we do".

"It's not just about being a profitable business; it's about using our platform to drive meaningful change and contribute to a better future for all.”


The accreditation bolsters Lind & Lime's ongoing commitment to sustainability and ethical standards, with the independent distillery always adhering to organic practices, becoming certified organic in April 2023.


Samuel Travers, Head of Gin at Lind & Lime added:

“B Corp certification has a significant impact on our day-to-day operations by embedding sustainability and social responsibility into every aspect of our business. It influences decision-making processes, from sourcing materials to interacting with stakeholders."

"It guides our choices in selecting suppliers who share our values of ethical sourcing and responsible production. ‘It also affects our internal policies and practices, such as employee well-being initiatives and waste management strategies. Overall, being a B Corp shapes our organisational culture, driving us to continually improve and innovate in ways that benefit both people and the planet.”


B Corp Certification is a designation that a business is meeting high standards of verified performance, accountability, and transparency on factors from employee benefits and charitable giving to supply chain practices and input materials.


The company behind Lind & Lime, Muckle Brig, was founded by Edinburgh locals Ian Stirling and Paddy Fletcher, with the intention of restoring the rich history of distilling in Leith. The team are also behind the UK’s first vertical distillery, Port of Leith which opened in October 2023, designed by fellow B Corp, Threesixty Architecture.
