EQUALITY

WHAT IS THAT

“Equalitas - Sustainable wine” - is a certifiable voluntary standard on the sustainability of wine.

It was born from a movement of stakeholders which aims to bring together companies in the wine sector for a homogeneous and shared vision of sustainability, according to the three social, environmental and economic pillars.

KEY POINTS

1. APPROACH

The standard allows you to certify:

• companies (corporate level)
• the products (chain level)
• the territories

2. GOOD PRACTICES

  • Soil management
  • Fertility management
  • Irrigation
  • Plant management
  • Defense management

  • Biodiversity management
  • Prohibition of weeding in the inter-row
  • Exclusion of dangerous pesticides
• of processing :

  • Cleaning and sanitizing premises and equipment

3. MEASURABLE INDICATORS

• Biodiversity
• Carbon Footprint
• Water Footprint:

4. GRADUALITY OF ACCESS

Equalitas allows gradual adherence to the indicators over the first three years of validity of the certification.

Equalitas is a standard;

• shared,
• objective
• certifiable by a third party.

This makes it possible to transfer one's commitment in the field of sustainability immediately and simply to the consumer.
But it also has benefits in internal terms, such as:

• self-assessment of their production systems
• performance improvement.
