Sustainability
An imperative principle: sustainability
We are aware of the importance of caring for the vine, the soil from which it grows, and the lives of those who work the land every day. This is why we have chosen to embark on a path of sustainability, with the commitment to protect human and environmental resources as much as possible, to ensure a better future for the generations to come.
A virtuous route… to tell and report!
Sustainability is not just a "trendy" word to us, to be used for mere marketing purposes. It is instead a modus operandi that involves every company process: the care for raw materials, the respect for workers, and the careful selection of suppliers and distributors.
We want to be an example for other businesses, which is why we have chosen to share our values and the activities we carry out every day through our work.
In the Marche region, we launched an ambitious project that led to the creation of our Sustainability Report, a thorough analysis of the company’s social, economic, and environmental impact. This valuable tool highlights the virtuous processes that have allowed us to minimize the environmental impact of our production. This journey began with Conti degli Azzoni winery and our goal is to extend it to the other companies within the group. We have also initiated the process to obtain B Corp certification and become a benefit corporation.
B Corp
Degli Azzoni Wines has decided to embark on a path of sustainability for people, for the environment and for the planet. To strengthen a belief now rooted in the entire group, the management has decided to go further and make its commitment even more effective by aiming to become B Corp certified within the next few years.
The aim is to evaluate one's socio-economic and environmental standards with one of the most complete programs in circulation and to communicate proactively with all its stakeholders.
Degli Azzoni Wines, after in-depth analysis and research, decided that B Corp was the right accreditation to pursue as it is complete and rigorous in the assessment with the B Impact Assessment, including all company areas from the environment to people.
The company will strive to become an organization oriented towards a more advanced business paradigm. Upon reaching the status of B Corp, it will in fact be required to legally amend its by-laws so that society and the environment become a fundamental part of the corporate mission, becoming a Benefit Company in effect.
The B Corp framework will provide a roadmap that will see profound changes materialize, year after year, with the aim of having a positive impact on the environment, society and people.
