Neleman becomes IWCA Silver Member

Neleman has recently become a silver member of IWCA, following the approval of its emissions inventory by the organization’s Inventory Review Committee.

This recognition validates the consistent work carried out across the company in measuring, reducing, and transparently reporting its greenhouse gas emissions.

Neleman has followed a consistent path of implementing organic and sustainable agricultural practices since 2014, focusing on promoting biodiversity, soil health, and efficient water use. The company has been investing in reducing its carbon footprint with renewable energy, improving energy efficiency, rigorous monitoring of emissions (Scopes 1, 2, and 3), and adopting technical solutions aligned with carbon‑neutrality goals for 2050.

As an IWCA Silver Member, Neleman also joins, for the first time, the United Nations Race to Zero initiative, which brings together organizations committed to absolute emissions reductions and science‑aligned climate targets.

“For us, this is not about a label or a certificate, it’s about doing things the right way, step by step. From how we grow our grapes to how we bottle and ship our wines; we try to make choices that reduce our impact and make sense long term.

Becoming an IWCA Silver Member shows that we are on the right path, but more importantly, it reminds us that there is still a lot to improve. That’s what keeps us moving.”

-Derrick Neleman, Founder of Neleman Wines

The IWCA Silver Member status is valid until May 2027 and represents another step this Spanish wine producer’s ambition to produce wines and olive oils of excellence, respecting the planet’s limits and actively contributing to climate‑change mitigation.

Representing approximately 3.5% of global wine production, its members form a unified voice for change, promoting reduction in carbon emissions and setting the standard for decarbonization internationally.
