We renew for sixth consecutive year the WFCP certificate
Bodegas Luzón was one of the first wineries to obtain this ambitious Wineries for Climate Protection (WfCP) ISO 14001 Environmental Certification and the first in the Jumilla PDO, which defines us as an environmentally sustainable winery since obtaining the certificate in 2017.
This certificate of the Spanish Wine Federation (FEV) only counts with wineries that have in place one or more processes of continuous improvement of sustainability in the wine sector.
The WfCP meets certain standards that every winery should have in terms of its commitment to the environment. It acts on four fundamental pillars in relation to sustainability:
- Reduction of gas emissions and greenhouse effect.
- Water management.
- Waste reduction.
- Energy efficiency and renewable energies
Currently, there are only 87 Spanish wineries out of the more than 4,700 registered in Spain that have the WfCP certificate, of whom we were pioneers in the Protected Designation of Origin of Jumilla.
The fight against climate change and our commitment to care for the environment have placed value on obtaining this certification, starting years ago with the production of our organic wines.
The aim is to address environmental risks and opportunities that are directly related to the life cycle of our wines.
All the actions we develop under the WfCP Certificate aim, among others, to incorporate the best available technologies that promote maximum conservation of the environment.
Different improvement processes have been carried out that are directly related to our commitment to the environment. For the time being, we have reduced the weight of the bottles in the Collection range, incorporated technologies that reduce energy consumption, carried out controls on the use of resources in production processes thanks to the installation of meters, the incorporation of LED lighting, and so on.
At Bodegas Luzón we have renewed this certificate, so our performance and commitment to all the requirements of the WfCP are still ongoing and we are working every day to implement new sustainable processes.
