OUR COMMITMENT
Transmission is the very essence of what we believe in.
Crafting unparalleled cognacs is what we do. Who we are is altogether more detailed and diverse. Our commitments – to the land, to the people who make Hennessy exceptional, to you – are deep-rooted and engrained in our mission as a company. We craft the future.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Hennessy launches the 4th edition of its sustainability report
Facing climate change, Hennessy is increasing its efforts to preserve natural ecosystems and human connections.
In 2023, our Maison continued to develop viticultural practices that promote agroecology, with 134 km of hedges financed since 2022 and 15,020 ha of forest ecosystems regenerated since 2020. We have also reduced our energy and carbon footprint across both the direct and indirect scope.
Hennessy is also socially committed. Locally, we have trained 88% of our workforce in responsible consumption. Globally, we have rehabilitated a number of basketball courts to support local communities through our "In the Paint" program. In the past two years, we have given life to 18 new courts across seven countries.
FOREST DESTINATION
Our commitment to forest regeneration
Human
We are our people
At Hennessy, people are the heart and soul of the Maison.
No achievement would be possible without the more than 1,000 people who contribute their talent at every level of Hennessy.
Longstanding relationships attest to our sense of social responsibility, and a culture of openness and exchange that is nurtured constantly. We support and honor gender equality and diversity in the workplace, and we make every effort to encourage growth and advancement. As everyone at Hennessy knows, we are the guardians of a savoir-faire without which the Maison could not achieve excellence year after year for more than two and a half centuries.

It's bigger than we are
RESPONSIBLE DRINKING
With moderation
We wholeheartedly support moderation
Hennessy is accutely aware of the individual and societal consequences of alcohol abuse. To that end, we have drawn up and signed a responsible consumption charter that all employees must be familiar with and follow scrupulously. We consider the consumption of our products responsible when intended for pleasure and in moderation, with constant care neither to lose self-control nor endanger the health or safety of oneself or others. In addition, we always promote moderate enjoyment of our cognacs, knowing it enables all to better appreciate their rarity and the know-how behind them.
Every employee is an ambassador
As employees of the Maison, we are all ambassadors of the brand and of the responsible consumption we encourage Hennessy connoisseurs to adopt. This is a cornerstone of all our communications. We have established clear guidelines for all messaging so that we always promote our philosophy that fine cognac is to be savored and sipped. We want all who enjoy Hennessy to learn more about what they are drinking. To experience the story, not just the spirit and, ultimately, to fill conversations and moments, not just glasses.
SOCIAL RESPONSABILITY
We take part
Contributing time, expertise and unwavering support.
The Maison supports various causes and organizations through social inclusion, training, sponsoring and partnership programs. Regular contributions to local communities include, for example, mentoring and outreach programs for disadvantaged situation (100 opportunities, 100 jobs); contracts for partnerships and special needs sponsorships (L'Arche en Charente), as well as a cultural program that is open to the general public. Free programming at Les Quais Ici ou Ailleurs in Cognac, for example, offers access to exhibitions and other cultural events.
