Fetzer Vineyards Honored by UN for Climate Change Work

Fetzer Vineyards was the only wine company among 19 global enterprises to receive a “Momentum for Change” Climate Solutions Award for climate action at the UN Climate Change Conference in Bonn, Germany (COP23) this week.

It’s the third environmental award the vintner has won this year, signaling Fetzer Vineyards’ ongoing commitment to prioritizing sustainability as it approaches its 50th year of Earth-friendly winegrowing in 2018.

“At Fetzer Vineyards, our business thrives while placing sustainable, climate-smart practices at the fore of our operations,” said Cindy DeVries, chief operating officer.  “We know that a low-carbon approach and growth aren’t mutually exclusive, and in fact have seen our successes accelerate as we’ve become even more committed to regenerative practices that revitalize and regenerate ecosystems and communities, advance the health and well-being of employees, and produce sustainable growth for our shareholders.”
