Clarity, commitments and collaboration: How Alko is lightweighting its portfolio
In this Sustainable Wine Roundtable podcast, I’m joined by Laura Kvissberg, head of sustainability at Alko, Finland’s alcohol monopoly.
We discuss how Alko prioritises collaboration, working closely with other Nordic alcohol monopolies on joint environmental and human rights roadmaps, and how they collaborate globally through SWR. Alko is not only one of SWR’s founding members, but also a founding signatory of the Bottle Weight Accord (BWA) and the newly launched Sparkling Bottle Weight Accord.
Laura shares how Alko implemented the BWA requirements, key learnings and best practices for lightweighting, and what’s next for Alko in reducing the weight of sparkling wine bottles.
