Sustainability

Leaders of change

For us, working with sustainability means making informed decisions. We seek to employ science-based methods to analyze our impacts, identify areas of improvement and integrate sustainability initiatives on all business levels.

For us sustainability comes naturally

Globus Wine is leading the way in a sustainable business model. By importing wine in bulk and filling it locally in Denmark, the carbon emissions are reduced considerably. The Life Cycle Assessment (in short: LCA) analysis shows that the combination of bulk transport by train or ship, local filling in Denmark, and lightweight bag-in-box packaging has an up to 3.5 times lower environmental impact than other models.

The reduction of CO2 emissions when using our filling service (Italy and USA):

Responsibility in the value chain – from Grape to Glass

Globus Wine takes responsibility throughout our value chain and calls this initiative “From Grape to Glass”. As the value chain has many links – some of which are far from Globus Wine and not possible to influence directly – our focus on climate impact, anti-corruption, and human rights is directed at the around 60 subcontractors that provide our wine.

Therefore, all our sub-suppliers must sign our Supplier Code of Conduct under which they guarantee that they meet our responsibility requirements.

Below, examples of what the suppliers must guarantee are listed.

Local environmental impact

All relevant EU and national legislation is complied with. Measures are taken to reduce emissions to air, soil, and water, and to ensure efficient use of resources.

Employees’ right to assemble

Freedom of Association and collective bargaining. The supplier respects the right of its employees to form and join trade associations as well as the right to collective bargaining.

No forced or compulsory labor

The supplier does not use forced or compulsory labor. The supplier does not ask employees to submit their original identity papers or any other original official documentation.

Concrete actions leads to improvements and implementation of new initiatives

Globus Wine continuously works to reduce and recycle the resources used in our production. With the help of external counselors, an annual corporate social responsibility report is created to help us in the on-going process of adjusting our production in order to reach an even higher degree of sustainability.

Some of the initiatives that we are currently working on are:

Waste

Reducing the overall generated waste while at the same time increasing the amount of recycling.

Packaging

Introducing new types of packaging, wrapping film, and recycling guides.

Water consumption

Reducing the water used per bottled liter of wine.

Energy

Reducing the kWh used per bottled liter of wine. Green electricity from wind turbines.
