Lanchester Wines Put Focus on Sustainability (https://lnkd.in/eKvCe-A7 van der Neut is business unit controller at Lanchester Wines. While carbon offsetting is relatively mainstream, more and more businesses are looking at how they can introduce carbon insetting - when companies invest in carbon reduction projects within their own supply chain. By engaging in carbon insetting, companies are investing in making their own products, practices and supply chains more sustainable. The good news for operators is that the wine trade has focused on insetting for centuries. As the wine industry spans (literally) the globe, insetting has to be apportioned to the different elements of the wine process. You can firstly start by looking at the winery; how its adapted to its environment and social surroundings, and used the resources available from water conservation to soil management, vineyard grazing through to community projects. Next, is the transportation of wine. Bulk shipping has many benefits, both monetary and sustainably: a Flexitank containing 24,000 litres will fit in a 20ft container, while the same volume in bottle would require two 40ft containers. With this comes a significant win on the environmental front, with CO2 savings of 37% (bulk vs bottled at source) which is around 2kg of CO2 per kilometre travelled. Then look at how your importer or merchant has implemented their insetting programmes. There’s no one size fits all solution to sustainability, so its important to understand what each business has done to minimise their own specific impact on the environment. At Lanchester Wines, we started our insetting programme back in 2011 with the installation of our first wind turbine and solar panels shortly after – we’ve now invested over £13million in renewable energy and heat generation projects at sites across the North of England and our business is powered almost completely by wind and solar. Lanchester Wines also actively seeks business partners and suppliers who share our vision to proactively improve their sustainability. Each of our wine suppliers has adapted to their environment and social surroundings, and used the resources available to them – from water conservation to soil management, vineyard grazing through to community projects. In simple terms, it’s absolutely vital that every business implements carbon reduction programmes as soon as possible. Depending on budget, depending on suitability – but it’s vital to do what you can where you can. Lanchester Wines has created a Sustainable Bulk Wine Partner Portfolio which can be downloaded from our website and shows the commitment from each of our partners, so our customers can be assured the wine in their glass truly is sustainable. https://buff.ly/3tsBGP6 (https://buff.ly/3tsBGP6) Read More: https://catererli…

Drink wine and practice sustainability… Wine bottle reuse is increasing in Europe and even in U.S. wine regions like Napa Valley. Consumers are accepting of the reuse idea, but availability, ease, and understanding are barriers to wider adoption. The main challenge to wine bottle reuse comes from producers hoping to catch consumers’ attention by investing in differentiated bottle designs. https://lnkd.in/eZe2nvKK #sustainablepackaging #innovation #packagingdesign

#Sustainability #Winemaking In recent years, sustainability and carbon footprint reduction have become central issues in the global wine industry. According to a report by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV), the global wine sector is under increasing pressure to adopt greener practices, due to concerns about climate change and consumer demand for more sustainable products. In fact, a recent study by Wine Intelligence indicates that more than 60% of consumers in key markets such as the U.S., U.K. and Australia prefer wines that are produced sustainably. But, which are the critical elements? To be sustainable in the long term, wine production must consider several factors along its entire value chain, from the vineyard to the end consumer. These are some of the most critical elements: 1. Sustainable Agriculture 2. Energy Efficiency and Use of Renewable Energy 3. Water management 4. Transportation and Logistics What is your sustainability approach? Tell us about!

With the most recent figures showing that nearly half of all wine produced in the world is exported from its country of origin, this initiative by Catena is incredibly important. Reducing the carbon footprint along the grape to glass supply chain should be one of the main aims of wine producers, given the savings in both energy consumption in production and carbon emissions in transport. Common supply chain sustainability levers like near-shoring don't typically apply to wineries so the focus on sustainability in packaging, transport and waste management gain ever greater significance. What else can wine producers do to meet ESG targets in future? #EYSupplyChain #Sustainability

🌱 Exciting News for Sustainable Coffee Lovers! 🌱 The coffee industry is taking a big step towards regenerative agriculture with the introduction of Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) coffee! 🌿☕️ Regenerative agriculture goes beyond sustainability, focusing on practices that support the environment, promote climate resilience, and prioritize the well-being of ecosystems. Regenerative Organic Alliance (ROA) has been working to establish this certification, and now, ROC-certified coffee has hit the shelves in the United States! ☕️ The first wave of ROC-certified coffee comes from three producer groups in Nicaragua and one in Sierra Leone. These beans are then roasted by U.S. roasters like Equator Coffees, Heirloom Coffee Roasters, Canyon Coffee Roasters, and Groundwork Coffee LLC. This certification is a game-changer for farmers, ensuring they receive fair compensation while practicing sustainable agriculture. With products like these on the market, we can help build a highly valued supply chain for regenerative organic products and support farmers in their journey towards sustainable farming. 🌎❤️ 📑 For more info: https://lnkd.in/eM7VPYxq #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableCoffee #RegenerativeOrganicCertified #ClimateAction #Sustainability #EnvironmentalStewardship #CoffeeLovers #ROC #ClimateChampions

Many great articles such as this help tell the story of why and how to preserve the integrity of our ecosystems. Alarming still is with as much focus on farming aspects of Winegrowing, packaging aspects of wine containers, and shipping aspects of fuels and materials that lower the weight of transportation, there’s still a gaping hole in the sustainability efforts in wine….? How can that be? There are many who would argue about the most wasteful category of wine aging stating that “the oak forests of France are sustainably farmed with no exceptions and therefore barrels are the most sustainable solution to luxury wine aging. I.e.: nothing to worry about”. Speaking to coopers of France who are having to source oak further and further from the historic centers of French forests, the story seems to be slightly different and a day of reckoning may be fast approaching. Oak farming under the French federal system of oak forest management, and data being collected today both internally and externally from governmental oversight, is showing an alarming change in forest temperatures, insect damage, and disease pressure. Sustainability in the forests of France, of which more than 30% is oak, is changing rapidly and a shift in how oak is utilized in the practices of wine aging is more critical than ever. Sustainability in packaging and sustainability in the vineyard have made great strides and almost commonplace in beverage industry conversations. It’s time to turn our attention to the challenges of sustainability in the barrel cellar.

🌍 So true and worth reading - my favourite💚 key statements: 1) "the wine industry must continue to adopt sustainable practices (...) to reduce its carbon footprint and meet consumer demands." 2) "the industry must work together towards a more environmentally friendly and responsible future" 3) "sustainability is a complex message, especially as many consumers don’t necessarily think of wine as being an unsustainable product." 4) "We rely on agriculture for our industry and climate change – and the temperature change – people are seeing that in the vineyards and in the wines. So, if we don’t make changes to the end product, we are going to be really struggling to grow grapes in the future. It’s as simple as that." 🍇 #sustainability #wine #gogreen #HillebrandGori #TheHeatIsOn🌱
