In our role as environmental stewards, we seek to address climate risk & opportunity, optimise operational waste, and conserve water systems.
Read more about our commitments in our Global Environmental Policy.
Addressing Climate Risk & Opportunity
We have already achieved huge milestones within Climate Risk: our EU and UK businesses are focused on our path to achieving Net Zero and having our Science Based Targets established and verified by March 2025, and we are undertaking a carbon emissions audit across all operations globally.
Optimising Operational Waste
We are undertaking a review of operational waste streams for reduction and value creation opportunities. We already have achieved 98% landfill avoidance across Australian vineyards and wineries.
Conserving Water Systems
As an Australian headquartered business, we understand the importance of conserving water systems in the work we do. Several Accolade Wines operations are currently on track to achieve water neutrality and our Banrock Station water and wildlife conservation project is an industry leader.
Our stewardship
Across our wineries, operational sites, office locations, and the communities we work in, we’re taking an active role in addressing climate risk & opportunity, optimising operational waste, and conserving water systems.
