Enhanced Environmental and Economic Leadership
- Fetzer Vineyards — E3 Sustainability Initiatives
The company was the first winery in California to be completely sustainable. Lauded as a “leader and maverick in the field,” by House Representative Mike Thompson, Fetzer continues to be a pioneer in the implementation of sustainable practices for production and marketing of grapes and wine. Building on its successes, Fetzer has developed significant environmental initiatives including the use of a renewable energy system that is currently the largest in the wine industry, the mitigation of carbon emissions and climate change, improved energy efficiency innovations, organic wine grape and wine production, resource conservation, waste reduction and earth-friendly bottle use. Fetzer refers to its team’s passionate commitment to making continual sustainability improvements as E3–the “triple bottom-line” of equity, environment, and economics.
