We are evolving our approach to sourcing, so that our wine is made as sustainably as possible, ensuring that we have minimal negative impact on the environment and climate, and a positive impact on people. That means that the wine we buy should have been made and transported with less energy, less water, fewer chemicals and less pollution – and where everyone along the supply chain has been treated with care, fairness and respect. We want to have the most ethical and environmentally sustainable wine supply chain in the world by 2030. And we believe we have the strong relationships with our suppliers required to make that happen.
