We like to do our bit by being socially responsible. For instance, our 85-metre long tunnel under the Schiedam Buitenhaven, between our distillery and logistics centre, is the longest private tunnel in the Netherlands. Raw materials and packaging materials are transported through the tunnel for production purposes. Our packaged products are then taken in the other direction to the logistics centre from where they are distributed all over the world. The tunnel helps to keep traffic in the district where the Nolet Distillery is based to a minimum. Our tunnel has not gone unnoticed: it was nominated for the first Dutch Building Prize and won the Schreuders Prize in 2007 for special achievements in underground construction.<\/p>\n\n      \n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#text-block_821492dff3ee56bf28c34e2c49fcb8b5 {\n        padding-top: 0px !important;\n            padding-bottom: 0px !important;\n    \t}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"collage white\" id=\"collage-block_abc49e4375a74db3e4461bd04e03c635\">\n\n  <div class=\"grid\">\n\n      <div class=\"inner_grid\">\n\n        <div class=\"content_grid three  no-text\">\n\n          <!-- 2 afbeeldingen en titel + tekst -->\n\n          \n            <!-- 3 afbeeldingen en titel + tekst -->\n\n          \n                          <div class=\"image_1\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/noletdistillery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/c02-518x700.png);\"><\/div>\n                                      <div class=\"image_2\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/noletdistillery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/K1-024_1007424-700x467.jpg);\"><\/div>\n            \n            \n                        <div class=\"image_3\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/noletdistillery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bob3-518x700.png);\"><\/div>\n            \n          \n        <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t#collage-block_abc49e4375a74db3e4461bd04e03c635 {\n        padding-top: 0px !important;\n            padding-bottom: 160 !important;\n    \t}\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"infographic blue\" id=\"infographic-block_13f658fdc8cdeeef053b54a4a89edbda\">\n\n  <div class=\"grid\">\n\n    <div class=\"text_holder\">\n\n            <h3>A clean future<\/h3>\n      \n      <p>But we do even more when it comes to energy and climate. For example, Molen De Nolet, built in 2005 right next to the Distillery, produces wind energy. We also use a heat\/cold storage system, which is a form of underground energy storage. It is a sustainable contribution to our production process and our buildings. We store energy in the form of cold, which is made in the winter using free cooling units on our roofs, 160 metres underground. This provides us with enough cold air in the summer for cooling purposes. After use, the heated water is injected into a hot aquifer.<\/p>\n<p>Is that enough? We don&#8217;t think so. That&#8217;s why we have prepared an ambitious sustainability plan for 2030. We are aiming to produce no more waste in our direct operation, to use 10% less electricity per litre produced compared to 2020, to use 10% less glass and cardboard compared to 2020, and to phase out the use of natural gas in the future.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"info_blocks\">\n\n      <div class=\"info_blocks_grid\">\n\n        \n        <div class=\"info_block col12 \">\n
