HAMILTON, Bermuda, March 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Bacardi Limited today announced that it has pioneered a new auditing method that accurately measures performance and progress against key environmental sustainability objectives. Called BEST – Bacardi Environmental Sustainability Tracking – the new system represents an innovative best practice in assessing a variety of metrics typically included in sustainability initiatives.

Bacardi Limited, the world's largest privately held spirits company, created this innovative system using general accounting principles. The Company then built upon standard metrics to include non-financial performance measurements in water use, energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from all of its manufacturing operations. The results provide an accurate assessment of not simply the cost of goods, but also the degree of efficiency in the Company's use of resources.
