Donnafugata - Sustainability!
March 16, 2021
In 2011 Donnafugata calculated the Carbon Footprint of Contessa Entellina and Pantelleria wines, looking at the entire production cycle: from vineyard to bottling.
In 2017 CO2 emissions were reduced by 10% thanks to a number of choices:
– the adoption of lighter glass bottles with screw caps, to reduce emissions from glass production and bottle transport.
– the use of Select BIO caps with zero CO2 emissions, made with materials derived from sugar cane and 100% recyclable.
In 2019 in the historical cellars of Marsala, the company starts the study of the Water Footprint with particular reference to the winemaking and bottling activities in order to evaluate and reduce its water footprint.
The certifications of Carbon and Water Footprint, according to ISO 14064-1 and ISO 14046, issued and validated by DNV-GL, the world’s leading certification body, are shared with the consumer, sensitive to environmental issues, on the bottles and on the company’s website.
