Discover Dominica extends congratulations to Rosalie Bay Distillery on Silver Anthem Award

The Ministry of Tourism and the Discover Dominica Authority (DDA) have lauded Rosalie Bay Distillery (RBD) and Oceans Forward for their Silver Award win at the 5th Annual Anthem Awards. The prestigious recognition was granted in the Sustainability, Environment & Climate – Product, Innovation or Service (Non-Profit) category, highlighting Dominica’s growing influence in environmental innovation and sustainable practices globally. Rosalie Bay Distillery, the world’s sole conservation distillery, was honored for its groundbreaking model that channels all profits into marine conservation initiatives within the local community. Located in Rosalie, the distillery produces premium craft rums with full traceability from farm to bottle, showcasing how responsible business practices can directly contribute to preserving the island’s natural environment. The distillery’s “Pour to Protect” campaign further strengthens this mission by linking rum sales to tangible marine conservation outcomes while supporting local livelihoods through jobs in sugar cane cultivation, supply chain operations, and distillery functions. According to the DDA, this innovative approach not only bolsters community resilience but also aligns with Dominica’s national priorities in environmental protection, community development, and responsible tourism. The Ministry of Tourism and DDA view this achievement as a pivotal milestone in Dominica’s sustainability journey, reinforcing the island’s commitment to a greener future.
