Thinking in generations

Vergani reduces and compensates retroactively to 1.1.2021 the complete greenhouse gas footprint, so that you can enjoy all wines climate neutral.

 

 

An important part of the Vergani culture is defined by thinking in generations. As a family business, we only want to succeed if we do not do so at the expense of resources, which are the foundation of our work.

Wine is a natural product that is exposed to climate change with full force. The rise in temperature and the fluctuations in the weather pose immense challenges for our producers.

Even if Vergani is only a small piece of the puzzle in this topic, as a pioneer in the wine trade we would still like to show our colours. As a company, as a family, as people.

Salute!

Vergani family

 

  

Vergani compensates from the producer to the consumer.
The compensation takes into account all greenhouse gases that are produced from the work of the producer in the vineyard to the delivery of your order to your home. This means that you can enjoy wines, grappas, olive oils and simply all Vergani products in a completely climate-neutral way.
Who is our partner myclimate?
myclimate is a non-profit foundation established in 2002. The international initiative with Swiss roots is one of the world's quality leaders in voluntary CO₂ offsetting measures. Currently, over 144 different climate protection projects are being pursued in more than 41 different countries. Emissions are reduced locally by replacing fossil energy sources with renewable energies, implementing local reforestation measures with small farmers and implementing energy-efficient technologies. Vergani supports various projects in this regard.
What is Vergani doing to reduce its footprint?
Vergani's defined goal is to have to offset as few greenhouse gases as possible. For this reason, the reduction ofCO2 emissions and other greenhouse gases in operations comes before offsetting. myclimate is a competent and credible partner for this and we look forward to future projects.
 
 
What initiatives we have already implemented:
 
  • Our new large warehouse was equipped with solar panels. In the process, we generate more electricity than we need, which we can feed back into the community.  ×
  • Where possible, we try to do without plastic. For example, we now use 100% recyclable paper bags. These are made of vegetable fibres and are therefore environmentally friendly and easily degradable.
  • Our shipping boxes are made from 100% recycled material. Three quarters of them are made from recycled paper. The remaining raw material is fibre obtained from natural sustainable forestry. Even the glue made from corn and wheat starch is biodegradable.
  • The inside of the shipping boxes are corrugated cardboard boxes. The used corrugated cardboard packaging serves the paper mills again as raw material for paper production.
  • Natural corks can be handed in at our Enoteca.
  • We use mineral oil-free printing inks for printed matter.
  • Our transport partner Planzer handles 60% of all freight transports via the Swiss rail network.
  • Since 2020, we have greatly expanded our range of organic and Demeter certified wines with the Vergani Linea Verde. Even if it does not directly imply that sustainable vinification entails a lower greenhouse gas footprint, both approaches focus on the protection of nature and resources. This discourse is important to us and we want to continue it in the future.

"We are very pleased that Vergani has decided to offset the entire greenhouse gas emissions together with myclimate. In doing so, they are taking on a pioneering role in the wine trade."

Christian Lehmann, Project Manager myclimate
