Initiatives to preserve biodiversity

Additional initiatives to preserve biodiversity have already been implemented in Mont Aigu:
• The installation of green roofs, providing additional habitats for various plant and animal species.
• The implementation of differentiated management of green spaces, with eco-grazing and the planting of a kilometer of hedge between the site and the research center, allowing species to move.
• Treatment of rainwater and wastewater to optimize the site’s water consumption.

Reduce the carbon footprint

reduction empreinte carbone

Since 2010, Moët & Chandon has taken significant steps to reduce its own carbon footprint.

The Maison has also committed to a vast decarbonization plan whose ambition is to reduce its footprint by 50% by 2030 versus 2018, in all three scopes.

FACT

Moët & Chandon has developed alternative transport solutions

using environmentally friendly means: for example, using rivers and railways, and transporting clear wines via trucks using biodiesel coming from 100% biodegradable colza oil.

In 2010

Reduction of bottle weight saving the equivalent of 18,000 tCO2 over 12 years

Since 2014

-37% water consumption per bottle produced.

In 2019

-12% carbon footprint

in 2019 compared to 2008 for each bottle.

Every year

23 tons of CO2 saved

per tractor, thanks to the use of electric tractors rather than thermal.

Key action

Eco-designed packaging and waste recycling

Eco-designed packaging.png

Making a meaningful difference in material footprint has now become a must. Eco-designed packaging is an integral pillar of the Natura Nostra program.

Moët & Chandon has also implemented processes to improve sorting performance, essential for any waste recovery.

FACT

Every Moët & Chandon packaging project is analyzed

using the tool eQopack so that carbon emissions, natural resource consumption, water consumption, water ecotoxicity and material footprint are measured.

In 2016

Moët & Chandon has redesigned its Grand Vintage cardboard box to optimize materials and save nearly 1,350 tCO2, the equivalent of 6,000 trees.

From 2013 to 2020

-30% industrial waste

In 2020

99.7% of waste recovered

through reuse, recycling and organic and energy recovery processes.

Today

The Maison recycles 99% of its waste and uses 100% green electricity.
