Vignerons Engagés is the first label for corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainable development in the world of wine in France. It was launched in 2010 by the association Vignerons en Développement Durable and has since stood for much more than just environmentally friendly viticulture.
What is a sustainable wine? "A sustainable wine is one that conserves resources, enhances regions and makes it possible for winegrowers to make a living from their passion," explains Iris Borrut, the association's director. "For this reason, the Vignerons Engagés rely on a set of specifications based on the three pillars of sustainable development: Environmental, Economic and Social. More than a simple eco-label, it is a real philosophy of sustainability that is defended here."
