Bibendum's Sustainable Wine Roundtable membership
At Bibendum, we're constantly seeking more opportunities to commit ourselves to sustainability in the wine industry. As such, we're excited to announce our membership of the Sustainable Wine Roundtable - a global, independent roundtable that includes the whole value chain.
When the SWR was established in 2021, it had 50 founding members. With proven commitment to sustainability, these members laid the groundwork, and opened up opportunities for more wine businesses, academic institutions and NGOs to join, bringing the total membership to more than 70 in 2023.
As a full member, our role involves developing collaborative action and tools on areas such as labour standards, packaging and bottle weight and low carbon logistics.
The SWR has a vision of creating "a world where high quality wine is produced, traded and consumed in ways that conserve and regenerate the natural environment; respect human rights and foster equality and inclusion; and generate prosperity, pride and passion for excellence." We are proud and excited to be working with industry colleagues such as the Catena Institute of Wine, Journey's End, and the Fairtrade Foundation to help meet these goals.
