Addressing Climate Risk & Opportunity

We have already achieved huge milestones within Climate Risk: the majority of our brands sold in the EU and UK are carbon neutral, The Park runs on 100% renewable electricity, and we are undertaking a carbon emissions audit across all operations globally. We have ambitious targets to do more.

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 as well as 100% landfill avoidance in The Park.

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.
