-
Care for and enhancement of the natural environment in which the company operates;
-
Support and support for the social and economic fabric of the Tortonesi Hills;
-
Respect for employees and company collaborators, thanks to whom the winery has been able to grow and consolidate in its more than 100-year-long history.

During 2022, the company begins and completes the formalization and consolidation process of practices and procedures aimed at achieving the certification of Sustainability «Equalitas», a Sustainable Organization module for business processes from growing grapes in the vineyard to processing in the cellar, packaging and selling of the finished product. In line with this internationally recognized standard, sustainable development relies on three pillars:
Social solidarity (society)
Economic efficacy (the economy)
Ecological responsibility (the environment)

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
THE VINEYARDS

«A choice dictated by love for the territory and by the desire to preserve its biodiversity: for us organic production is simply, first and foremost, a question of respect for the environment»
[Marco Volpi]
CONSCIOUS CHOICES REGARDING PACKAGING AND CONSUMPTION MONITORING

- bottle closures: since 2021 all Volpi brand still wines have a 100% recyclable cork made from vegetable polymers obtained from sugar cane;
- bottles: almost half of the bottles used are lightweight (360 grams) thus reducing the weight and thereby CO2 in transportation (in/out).
- paper and cardboard: 100% of cardboard packaging used by Cantine Volpi are certified by the FSC Principles and Criteria (Forest Stewardship Council) which outline the fundamental elements and regulations in forest management with respect to the environment, bringing societal benefits and which are, moreover, efficacious in economic terms. 2022 will also see an increase in FSC certified label suppliers.
