Our mantra is<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

WE CELEBRATE LIFE<\/mark>
RESPONSIBLY<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Part of celebrating life is taking care of the world we live in. That translates to taking specific actions to promote sustainability. We have been working to reduce our environmental impact since 1999 and have been part of the UN Global Compact since 2002, as well as being committed to the 2030 agenda for sustainable development.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

To combat climate change, since 2017<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2026all electrical energy purchased is from 100% renewable sources. We have also eliminated the use of diesel at Freixenet and we invest in low-consumption electronics (cooling equipment, LED lights). Our efforts to fight climate change and reduce our emissions have allowed us to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 81 percent from 2012 to 2022.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n
