Making sense of sustainability standards
With more than 40 sustainability certification schemes across the global wine industry, comparing them can be complex and often confusing. To bring clarity, SWR is leading a benchmark of global wine sustainability standards to help buyers, growers, and consumers understand where these standards align and where they differ.
Following the successful pilot last year, the second round of benchmarking has now been completed, this time including two non-wine-specific standards: the EU Organic Regulation and Demeter certification. In the latest From the Roundtable podcast episode, I’m joined by SWR colleagues Dr Peter Stanbury, head of research, and Delaney Sheridan, operations manager. They share key insights from this second round, how we’re applying what we’ve learned, and next steps going forward.
The Sustainable Wine Podcast
The Sustainable Wine Podcast is the official podcast of the Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR)—the global coalition driving sustainability in the wine industry. SWR brings together businesses across the wine value chain to tackle shared challenges, foster innovation, and create measurable impact.
