Bonterra

Sustainability Story

With the belief that winemaking is a collaboration with the land, Bonterra has been farming organically since 1987. Inspired by the purity of organic fruit, Bonterra has a low-intervention approach to winemaking — its winery is certified organic, sustainable, and TRUE Zero Waste and operates on 100% renewable energy, while estate ranches are triple-certified organic, biodynamic and sustainable. As part of the largest Certified B Corp wine company in the world, Bonterra advocates for policies around regenerative agriculture, healthy soils and sustainable water practices. As a Climate Neutral Certified business, Bonterra is the world's 1st organically farmed wine brand to certify for climate responsibility across its entire business scope.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.

This certification covers business activities and operations for the following brands :

01 Measure

Bonterra measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.

GHG Scope 1

GHG Protocol Scope 1

Emissions from energy used in buildings, fleets, and equipment.

337 tCO2e

101 tCO2e

GHG Scope 3

GHG Protocol Scope 3

Emissions from raw materials, manufacturing, shipping, air travel, and other activities in the supply chain.

9,767 tCO2e

Total Emissions

Total Carbon Emissions

The sum of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

10,205 tCO2e

02 Offset

Bonterra invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables Bonterra to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

Total Investment in Carbon Credits

$194,580.80

Bonterra's credits came from:

Emissions Offset

Offset equivalency

For reference, reducing a footprint by 1000 tonnes is roughly equal to removing 230 passenger vehicles from the road for a year.

10,205 tCO2e

Lifetime Emissions Offsets

tCO2e

03 Reduce

Bonterra has set targets and identified actions to reduce their emissions from operations and their supply chain. These actions will enable Bonterra to emit fewer emissions in the future.

Mid Term Targets

Bonterra has committed to reducing emissions by .

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Mid Term Targets

This target is aligned with global trajectories to limit climate warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Reduction Actions

Bonterra is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

Current Year Reduction Actions

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce emissions on both up and downstream from more aggressive weight reductions in our packaging, specifically our glass.

How We'll Reduce It

We will gain alignment with the various impacted departments to significantly reduce our footprint from our packaging materials.

What We’re Reducing

We plan to reduce our emissions from combustible fuels in our truck and tractor shops.

How We'll Reduce It

We will study the viability of transitioning to EV trucks for our fleet as well as increasing our number of electric tractors while downsizing our reliance on diesel fueled tractors.

What We’re Reducing

We are working on reducing our scope 1 emissions from our farming equipment.

How We'll Reduce It

Through electrification and efficiency improvements

30%

What We’re Reducing

We will work to decrease the carbon footprint of our packaging, which has implications across purchased goods, upstream shipping, and downstream shipping.

How We'll Reduce It

We will begin to measure the differences in carbon footprint between various packaging materials and to incorporate this into our decision-making, with a goal of reducing our overall CO2e emissions.
