Tanqueray brings sustainability to Life at King Charles 77th birthday fete in Uganda

In a celebration reflecting King Charles III’s lifelong commitment to environmental stewardship, Tanqueray helped showcase sustainability at the King’s 77th birthday reception last Thursday. 

Hosted by the British High Commissioner to Uganda, H.E. Lisa Chesney MBE, the event highlighted climate action, nature conservation, and the evolving partnership between the United Kingdom and Uganda.

Themed around climate and nature, the evening offered guests a tangible experience of sustainability. Through its local partner Good Glass, Tanqueray demonstrated how empty bottles could be transformed into household items such as wine glasses, candle holders, jewellery, and decorative lamps.

Attendees were able to see and touch the concept of a circular economy, reinforcing the message that luxury and environmental responsibility can coexist.

The event featured a stunning exhibition, including photos from the Natural History Museum’s 2025 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, alongside striking wildlife photography from Ugandan artists. Guests were invited to participate in a “Commitment Tree,” signing their pledges to support the protection of nature.

Throughout the garden, multiple Tanqueray cocktail bars offered a botanical-inspired menu, with cocktails named Evergreen, Regal Ember, Bloom Tide, and Skyward, accompanied by carefully curated bites.

Nancy Nansikombi, Tanqueray’s brand manager, said: “We are glad to be part of this premium experience that is not only celebratory but conscious, aligning our brand with the values of the Crown and the future of our planet.”

The reception brought together business leaders, government ministers, diplomats, civil society members, and friends of the UK, celebrating both the King’s birthday and the shared environmental vision between Uganda and the United Kingdom.
