WHY IS BEING A B CORP IMPORTANT TO US?
"Achieving B Corp certification reflects our pioneering ethos and daring initiative to be a driving force of change within the Champagne industry. This certification not only recognises our environmental impact in the vineyards, but extends to our entire winemaking ecosystem, our community and our workplace."
"The B Corp Certification serves as a recognition to the collective efforts of our teams, spanning from our wine-growing partners to all our suppliers.
This holistic approach encourages us to integrate environmental, social, and societal considerations into each step of our decision-making process.
Rather than being an end in itself, this B Corp Certification serves as a catalyst for our ongoing journey towards continuous improvement and unwavering transparency.
We hope that our approach will inspire other winegrowers, other oenologists, other vineyards in Champagne - but also globally - encouraging them to embrace the B Corp movement."
