Sustainability Reaching balance
Amorim Cork is strongly committed to sustainability practices that promote a greener future. Our mission is to ensure that the entire production process, from the extraction of cork to the creation of innovative products, respects the principles of sustainable development. This includes the responsible management of natural resources, which are essential for the preservation of biodiversity.
Called Montado, Cork Oak Forests are the great ambassadors of sustainability and the driving force behind sustainable development. They play a decisive role in the planet's ecological balance, as they combat climate change and desertification and protect biodiversity.
The Montado is home to more than 200 species of animal and 135 species of plant, standing out for its extraordinary richness and biological diversity. However, due to its fragility, it is considered one of the 36 biodiversity hotspots in the world, comparable to the Amazon and the African Savannah.

In the Mediterranean basin, cork oak forests occupy an area of over 2,2 million hectares. In more than one way, they are the lung of the region.
Sustainability Reports
Our Sustainability Report reflects our commitment to ethical and responsible business practices, detailing the initiatives taken to minimize environmental impact and maximize social impact. Amorim Cork publishes this document periodically, providing a clear overview of our progress in sustainable development.
Recycling
Cork stoppers, as well as being biodegradable and capable of absorbing CO2, can have a second life after the bottle has been opened. Recycling and reusing these materials extends the life cycle of cork, reinforcing its contribution to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.
Amorim Cork places sustainability at the heart of its strategy, promoting initiatives that encourage the recycling of cork stoppers and ensure responsible management of resources, helping to preserve natural ecosystems and reduce the global carbon footprint.
