CEO Statement
Looking Ahead
Wine Group
After a year of significant change, our focus now is to maintain
momentum and build upon the foundation we have created.
We will continue to enhance our workflows and maximise the
potential of our unique product portfolio. Our goal remains to
strengthen relationships with existing partners and attract new
ones, ensuring stable growth and a resilient organisation in the
years ahead.
To strengthen our ESG competencies, we will offer external
and internal training programmes for our employees starting
next financial year. We believe that knowledge is the key to
change, and while not everyone needs to be an expert, we
all must have a fundamental understanding of ESG principles
so that, as a company, we can take responsibility and drive
real change.
Sustainability as Our Compass
My First Year at Wine Group
Sustainability and ESG are central elements of our strategy. We
are working proactively to enhance our reporting practices
so that we can support our partners in their CSRD reporting.
A remarkable 98.7 % of our CO2 emissions originate from
Scope 3, underscoring the importance of collaboration across
the value chain. Strong partnerships are therefore crucial in
promoting a more sustainable production of wine and spirits.
Many of our partners are already taking important steps, such
as reducing water consumption, using lighter glass bottles, and
increasing biodiversity.
I have spent my first year as CEO getting to know Wine Group.
With 28 years of experience in the scrap metal industry at our
sister company, HJHansen Recycling Group, I have a deep
understanding of the company’s structure and processes.
For me, Wine Group is an exciting case, combining strong
products, a dedicated team, and an impressive distribution
network. We face challenges, but we have already started
working on structuring and addressing them. I am optimistic
about the future and firmly believe that through collaboration
and a shared vision, we can build an even stronger company.
We want to take a proactive approach to ESG, improving the
value chain and taking responsibility for our own processes.
To this end, we have identified new initiatives that can have
a positive impact on both society and the environment. This
aligns with our new strategy, in which we have redefined our
company’s core purpose to also include a significant positive
impact on society and the environment as a whole.
I hope you will find this report insightful.
Happy reading!
