The company achieves prestigious International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA) Gold Member status.


Viña Concha y Toro has achieved Gold status from the International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA), a recognition that recognizes wineries that demonstrate the highest standards of carbon emission reduction in the wine industry. With this achievement, the company consolidates its position within the global organization.


Gold Member status is awarded to wineries that complete verification of their Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions and demonstrate sustained progress in reducing their carbon footprint. In the case of Viña Concha y Toro, these highlights include the use of at least 20% renewable energy generated on-site and a consistent reduction in emissions per liter of wine produced, milestones that reflect the company's commitment to low-carbon production and concrete climate action.


"For Viña Concha y Toro, the IWCA recognition is extremely significant, as it consolidates the climate action the company has developed for 18 years. This achievement reinforces our conviction that reducing emissions is the necessary path for our sector to consolidate itself as a leader in sustainability. Receiving Gold status is a milestone that excites us deeply because it reflects our concrete contribution to achieving our goal of net-zero carbon by 2040 and advancing on a path aligned with the Paris Agreement," said Valentina Lira, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Viña Concha y Toro.


For her part, Katie Jackson, President of the IWCA, emphasized: "We are delighted that Viña Concha y Toro has achieved IWCA Gold membership. As the most important wine business in Chile, its success strengthens our presence in the country. Winegrowers are suffering the consequences of climate change; our duty to future generations is to act now."


Since its first carbon measurement, Viña Concha y Toro has implemented regenerative practices in its vineyards, increased its use of renewable energy, promoted carbon capture through certified native forests, and strengthened its comprehensive climate change management, reaffirming its leadership in sustainable, low-carbon wine production.
