Why support our work
At SWR, Membership dues seed our ideas, cultivating the growth of our action areas. These fees support our core activities, providing members with access to industry-leading insights, networking opportunities, and the tools to integrate sustainable practices into their operations. However, to drive real, actionable change, our action areas and research require additional financial support.
Investing in SWR’s projects enables your organisation to align its sustainability goals with industry-wide initiatives, delivering tangible impact on the issues that matter most to your business. Our action areas are shaped by the needs of our members, ensuring that your investment supports both your internal goals and drives broader systemic change in the wine sector. Supporting our work enables you to leverage specialised research, practical insights, and collaborative solutions — all at a fraction of the cost of working independently or with consultancies.
Why work with SWR
Joining SWR equips members with the expertise, collaboration, and credibility needed to advance sustainability while gaining direct benefits for their own business:

Cost Saving Through Collaboration
Reduce costs by collaborating on joint sustainability projects and sharing best practices across the industry. Members benefit from pooled resources and collective purchasing power, enabling them to implement sustainability measures at a lower individual cost.
Ensure Compliance and Reduce Liabilities
