Sustainability
Planet
When we talk about making a positive imprint, this includes a commitment to action, and creating a more sustainable world for future generations.

Reducing our impact on the planet
The future we’re helping to create for generations to come is always front of mind.
We’re continuing to invest in driving efficiencies and innovation as we set the foundations for our Planet strategy: better understanding our footprint to inform the actions we can take to make a difference.
Our purpose keeps us focused on the future we are helping to create, and on doing the right thing, so that future is bright for generations to follow.
Climate change
We’re building climate resilience through our operations and innovating to reduce our emissions, for the sustainability of our business and the planet we all share.
We take a collaborative approach to climate change: partnering with our suppliers, customers and industry to tackle this shared, important challenge.
We support the Paris Agreement and commit to research, innovation and initiatives that will help reduce our own impact.
We're focused on creating a solid foundation: validating our emissions profile, mapping the current status of our operations against our environmental obligations, mitigating risk to build climate resilience, and strengthening our governance, compliance and reporting.
We are progressively aligning our disclosures against the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).

We adopt and maintain sustainable practices in our use of natural resources
We manage our natural resources to protect soils and improve biodiversity as part of our commitment to sustainable viticulture and winemaking.
We're committed to sustainable operations and doing the right thing - for our business, for the communities bringing our products to life, and for the planet we all share.
We're working to develop and improve environmental standards across our wineries and vineyards, benchmarking and reporting against Sustainable Winegrowing Association (SWA) certification. SWA is a national program for grape growers and winemakers to demonstrate and continuously improve sustainability in the vineyard and winery through the environmental, social, and economic aspects of their businesses.
Across the business, we have been working to drive water efficiency and water security for our sites. This includes a system to capture water usage data across all sites, to help us identify efficiencies.
Enhancing circularity
We continue to innovate towards best-practice packaging, reduce waste and support a circular economy.
We’re working to understand and improve the way we manage waste and make sure our packaging is sourced sustainably, meets customer expectations of quality and durability, and can be recovered, recycled and used again.
Working with suppliers and industry partners, we've been able to find more innovative recyclability and reusability solutions across our own operations, and the industry at large. Examples include Australia's first lightweight 750mL sparkling wine bottle and the lightweight Reverse Taper BVS bottle, both developed in partnership with Australian packaging solutions company, Orora.
We're one of the founding members and deputy chair of the Wine Industry Sustainable Packaging Alliance (WISPA), a collaboration between APCO and key businesses across the wine industry value chain.
We're also working to gain a clearer picture of our waste management across our operations. Our strategy has three key aims: reducing waste generation, enhancing circularity and expanding recycling opportunities, ensuring that the needs of our stores, teams and customers are met.
