Committed to
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is an essential guide for the development of all activities across the company, from quality to the environment, society and good business practices. Entrecanales Domecq e Hijos is firmly committed to sustainability, which guides each and all of its activities. Its wineries were pioneers in Spain in gaining Carbon Neutral certification and using 100% renewable energy.
Change
CLIMATE
Climate Change is one of the company’s greatest concerns. To tackle this complicated global reality, Entrecanales Domecq e Hijos is working on the development of an ambitious regenerative viticulture project. Regenerative techniques maintain the basic principles of sustainability and also are focused on correcting and reversing the negative impact caused to date to the planet by human intervention.
The reduction
OF EMISSIONS
In addition, the company has been calculating its emissions since 2010 and since then has also developed plans focused primarily on reducing its energy consumption:
It is committed to promoting low carbon activities. Thanks to these actions, it has reduced its emissions by more than 40% in recent years.
Since 2015, all the electricity used in the wineries and vineyards comes from 100% renewable sources.
Where it doesn't affect the quality of the wines, the use of all winemaking techniques that require a lot of refrigeration have been reduced.
Developing
BIODIVERSITY
At Entrecanales Domecq, regenerative viticulture underpins every decision we make in the vineyard and in the winery. We conceive of the vineyard as a living ecosystem and work actively to restore it: improving soil health, recovering traditional grape varieties and introducing working animals for a more respectful management of the environment. Protecting native fauna and flora is an essential part of the way we understand viticulture. Because preserving biodiversity and viticultural heritage is the only way to guarantee the singularity of each landscape and, with it, the authenticity of our wines.
Certification
ENVIRONMENTAL
SWfCP certification is the first and only certification specific to the wine sector in terms of environmental sustainability. It is aimed at making continuous improvements to sustainability in the wineries, acting across four fundamental pillars: the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GEI), water management, waste reduction, energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy.
