Environment
Climate Strategy
At Wine Group, we have developed a climate
accounting system to precisely measure where
and how much greenhouse gases we emit,
thereby understanding our impact on climate
change.
A climate account functions similarly to a financial account,
but instead of tracking economic transactions, we monitor
our greenhouse gas emissions. Since greenhouse gases
contribute to climate change, it is crucial to understand
where and how much we emit, as this helps us identify
ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
By understanding the scale and sources of our emissions,
we can develop strategies to lower CO2 emissions and
thereby minimise our climate impact.
Scope
Covers direct emissions from sources that we own or control, such
as buildings and company vehicles.
Scope
2
Covers indirect emissions from purchased energy, including electricity,
heating and cooling
The GHG Protocol
The methodology for mapping our emissions is based
on The Corporate Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standard,
commonly referred to as the GHG Protocol. This framework
categorises emissions into three scopes (see the next
page). It is not sufficient to view emissions in isolation, as
everything is interconnected. A winery’s emissions are
also our emissions. Our emissions are also part of the end
consumer’s footprint. Therefore, we must analyse the entire
value chain using the three scopes.
1
Scope
3
Covers all other indirect emissions from activities in our value
chain, which we do not own or control. Scope 3 is dicided in two:
Upstream: Emissions from our suppliers, including those related to
production, transportation (paid by us), and services.
Downstream: Emissions related to the wine we sell and its
subsequent waste processing.
Greenhouse gas emissions are reported as CO2 equivalents
(CO2e).This measurement accounts not only for CO2
but also for other greenhouse gases that contribute to
the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere, leading to
global warming.
