Grapes and other natural raw materials form the foundation of our business. At the same time, our products embody cultural traditions, the people involved in their production, and our understanding of corporate responsibility. We have close ties to our regions of origin, our locations, and the communities in which we operate. This means we are deeply rooted in cultural and agricultural traditions that have evolved over generations.
For us, acting responsibly therefore means more than simply implementing individual measures – it reflects our attitude and our understanding of what it means to celebrate life.
We recognize that our business activities rely on natural resources and global value chains. Our commitment is to use resources responsibly, gradually reduce the environmental impact of our business activities, and treat people and partners throughout our value chain responsibly and reliably. In doing so, we aim to be transparent about both our progress and the challenges that lie ahead.
In 2023, we developed a sustainability program to serve as an overarching guideline for the entire corporate group. The sustainability program comprises three pillars – Environmental, Social, and Governance – as well as clearly defined areas of action. These areas mark the focus of our initial efforts to drive our development forward step by step over the long term.
