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."
"La certification B CORP vient témoigner du travail réalisé par l’ensemble des équipes, de nos partenaires vignerons à l’ensemble de nos fournisseurs.
Cette approche holistique nous encourage à intégrer les impacts environnementaux, sociaux et sociétaux à chaque prise de décision. Cette certification B CORP n’est pas une finalité en soit, elle nous encourage à entrer dans une démarche d’amélioration continue et de transparence totale.
Nous espérons que notre démarche inspirera d’autres vignerons, d’autres œnologues, d’autres vignobles en Champagne et dans le monde à rejoindre le mouvement BCORP."
