ABOUT THE HENNESSY V.S.O.P COGNAC ECO-DESIGN
A perfectly balanced, universal blend, Hennessy V.S.O.P cognac impresses as much now as the day it was created. In 2022, Maison Hennessy is proud to introduce its most versatile cognac in a sleek, ecologically minded format that has been carefully conceived to reduce its carbon footprint while upholding Hennessy's uncompromising standards. Today's eco-friendly Hennessy V.S.O.P decanter is made of glass sourced in Cognac and northern France, while packaging improvements include adopting a wood bottle stopper, using coating-free labels made of recycled paper, and producing giftboxes made of coating-free paper sourced from FSC-certified forests. These measures have yielded concrete results, eliminating 51 tons of plastic from production and reducing Hennessy V.S.O.P cognac’s carbon footprint by approximately 4%. Each of these steps is in keeping with the LVMH Life 360 initiative for social and environmental responsibility, an environmental performance roadmap that stipulates removing all virgin fossil-fuel-based plastics from packaging by 2026. Fully 100% of Hennessy's new products will be eco-designed by 2030.
