Bordeaux Winegrowers Subscribe to Durable Development
98% of Bordeaux wine producers feel concerned about protecting the environment. An assessment of the industry’s carbon footprint has recently been produced with the aim of quantifying its ecological impact on the climate.
As a result of the findings of this study, the CIVB (the professional body governing viticulture in Bordeaux) has announced a 5-year plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15%.
The CIVB is now committed to reducing the Bordeaux wine-growing industry’s emissions by 30,000 tonnes over the next five years.
This will be brought about by various measures, including using lighter bottles and increasing efficiency in glass manufacturing ; by ensuring more efficient loads ; by increasing the use of sea transport from the Port of Bordeaux ; and cutting down on the use of fertilizers and other chemical products.
By taking this positive step to promote durable agricultural practices, winegrowers are demonstrating that they are fully behind the Environmental “Grenelle” (multi-party resolution, about to become law).
