Stellenbosch Vineyards has been awarded Carbon Hero status through the Confronting Climate Change Initiative, as part of Advini South Africa\u2019s extensive sustainability drive.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Confronting Climate Change (CCC) Initiative is a carbon footprinting project, developed to support the South African fruit and wine sectors through identifying and responding to the risks and opportunities associated with carbon emissions. The Carbon Heroes carbon footprint label and website were launched at the end of 2021 to recognise wineries for meticulously calculating their carbon footprint and responding to improve emissions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The CCC audit evaluates carbon emissions, including electricity, processing inputs, packaging and waste. \u201cContinuous improvement is a cornerstone of our sustainability programme and efficiently measuring carbon emissions is the first step in understanding where improvements can be made,\u201d explains Stellenbosch Vineyards\u2019 compliance manager, Mathilda Malan.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Stellenbosch Vineyards\u2019 carbon emission report revealed that glass and electricity account for the largest percentage of the winery\u2019s carbon emissions. \u201cWe have already started the process of using locally-produced, light weight glass, as well as sustainable alternative packaging,\u201d explains Stellenbosch Vineyards\u2019 operations manager, Delana Green. \u201cAs Advini South Africa\u2019s innovation and logistics hub, Stellenbosch Vineyards is well positioned to find innovative means of lowering our overall carbon footprint sustainably, through consolidated sourcing of recyclable packaging that is lighter and produced from recycled material,\u201d explains Green, whose surname is indicative of her priorities.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Emissions through electricity generation will be addressed in 2023 through the installation of 950 solar panels on Stellenbosch Vineyards\u2019 roof, with a maximum generation capacity of 523kWp. According to Stellenbosch Vineyards\u2019 general manager, JG de Villiers, this investment will not only reduce the cellar\u2019s carbon emission, but reduce risk caused by load shedding in South Africa. \u201cShifting away from coal-dependent electricity generation in South Africa is vital. Our vineyards benefit from ample Stellenbosch sunlight \u2013 there\u2019s no reason why that should not also be the case for our electricity generation!\u201d explains De Villiers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-ad954511-037d-4280-94a6-6ef0f74f7579″ width=”100%” width_tablet=”80%” width_phone=”80%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width=”850px” max_width_tablet=”74%” max_width_phone=”74%” max_width_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_margin=”0px||100px||false|false” custom_padding=”30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true” border_radii=”on|5px|5px|5px|5px” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-ad954511-037d-4280-94a6-6ef0f74f7579%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Cat\u00e9gorie” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”Didot Roman||||||||” header_text_color=”#93897F” header_font_size=”44px” custom_margin=”0px||30px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” header_font_size_tablet=”44px” header_font_size_phone=”30px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n The CCC Carbon Heroes report provides winery consumption benchmarks, which show current industry norms and values, allowing individual wineries to compare their own consumption. \u201cOne of the areas in which Stellenbosch Vineyards\u2019 winemaking team specifically excelled was reducing waste water to levels far lower than the industry standard.\u00a0 We have committed to wide-ranging targets for 2023, which will drive our operations and motivate the team, as part of Advini\u2019s global commitment to environmental sustainability,\u201d explains Malan.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/carbonheroes.co.za\/%20″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”carbonheroes.co.za” button_alignment=”left” button_alignment_tablet=”center” button_alignment_phone=”center” button_alignment_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”12px” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”gcid-883f0ec4-3dfe-45b5-90c9-08c2b43627f4″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”5px” button_letter_spacing=”3px” button_font=”Montserrat|600||on|||||” button_use_icon=”off” custom_padding=”14px|25px|14px|25px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-883f0ec4-3dfe-45b5-90c9-08c2b43627f4%22:%91%22button_bg_color%22%93}” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_color__hover=”#8a8077″ button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” width_tablet=”80%” width_phone=”80%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” max_width=”850px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n About Stellenbosch Vineyards<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Cat\u00e9gorie” _builder_version=”4.19.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” header_font=”Didot Roman||||||||” header_text_color=”#93897F” header_font_size=”44px” custom_margin=”0px||50px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” header_font_size_tablet=”44px” header_font_size_phone=”30px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Stellenbosch Vineyards is the smart solutions and innovation hub of Advini South Africa, based on the historic Welmoed Farm on the slopes of the Vlaeberg mountains in Stellenbosch.
