EcoNeutral™ For BC Winemakers
Any business, regardless of size, has a greenhouse gas footprint. Whether you have a hobby vineyard, a boutique winery or a commercial producer, your operations are contributing greenhouse gases (principally carbon dioxide) to the atmosphere.
In conjunction with Ecosystem Restoration Associates (ERA) we offer an ISO validated and CSA Clean Projects® registered carbon offset program to neutralize carbon emissions associated with your business activities.
Today's consumers are rapidly getting the big picture about climate change. Each day more people look for products by companies who have an environmentally friendly profile and today that means caring about the atmosphere.
B.C. wines are now recognized world wide. By partnering with EcoNeutral we can elevate this status by becoming the planets first climate friendly wine region by participating in our program to neutralize the emissions you cannot prevent.
The Process
First Steps
We consult with you to help estimate and assess the monthly and yearly CO2 "footprint" associated with your operations. In the process we will offer suggestions on how to reduce your emissions and even save you money along the way.
CO2 emissions result from fuel consumption and energy use for:
- Vineyard operations, irrigation
- Lighting
- Transportation
- Shipping
- Construction
- Office and cellar operations
- Data Center
- Bottling and Packaging
Then...
We work with you to model an offsetting program for your business. The data you provide allows us to calculate and offset your operational "footprint". From here we can collaborate on the best way to implement your offsetting program.
Although these carbon offset charges may be invisible to your consumers the environmentally responsible profile of your company and product will be well recognized.
EcoNeutral™ As Your Partner
We rebuild degraded or destroyed ecosystems in communities, on native land and on land preserved by trusts.
EcoNeutral™ Business ensures the dollars you commit to our carbon offset programs go into real ecosystem restorations where degraded or destroyed lands are brought back to health. As they mature they will not only efficiently extract carbon from the atmosphere, they will offer renewed wildlife habitat, improved water filtration and enhanced natural beauty. These are lands fully protected against future development.
