SWR Member Interview: How Concha y Toro is accelerating climate action

In this Sustainable Wine Roundtable Member Interview podcast, I had the chance to speak with Valentina Lira, director of sustainability for Concha y Toro in Chile.

As one of the world’s ten largest wine companies, Concha y Toro has a unique opportunity to drive significant environmental change – and it’s not wasting any time doing so. The company has accelerated its net-zero target to 2040, advancing the goal by 10 years. Valentina shares how Concha y Toro is driving climate action, from implementing regenerative agriculture practices, to reducing bottle weight and transportation and distribution emissions. We also explore the importance of the Bottle Weight Accord, how to engage packaging suppliers to reduce bottle weight, and the progress Concha y Toro has made so far in these efforts.
