OUR VALUES
Committed to Maine & its communities
At Three of Strong, we’re committed to honoring our home state by protecting Maine’s natural resources, agriculture, and communities.
Our approach
Through hard work, integrity, kindness, and respect for the planet and each other, we're working toward a more equitable, inclusive industry — the Maine way. To do our part, we’ve developed several programs and maintain strict values that keep our work local, inclusive, and sustainable.
Our actions
To us, sustainability is about how we can continue to do things better, and we’re always open to new ideas. If you have any suggestions or know of an organization that you’d like to see included in our Community Spirits Program, contact us
-
We buy local, organic, and in-season whenever we can to support our neighbors and reduce our transportation footprint.
-
Our team makes extensive use of compostable greenware and recycled materials in our tasting room and with our packaging. We also partner with Agri-Cycle, a Portland recycler that collects our waste for composting and bio-digestion.
-
We participate in the Maine Green Initiative and the Maine Solar Choices program to reduce our carbon footprint and have achieved 100% renewable for our energy use.
We also utilize our company's 100% electric Ford Lightning for local deliveries and festivals.
-
We combine a living wage with a generous benefits package, not just because it makes good business sense but because it’s the right way to treat people.
Community Spirits Program
Our community is a part of who we are at Three of Strong Spirits, and we want to support it as much as it supports us. Each month, the Tasting Room partners with an organization in our community and contributes $2 from every cocktail special sold that month to their work.
