OUR ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIONS
The Cognac sector is proud to contribute positively to the development of the region while taking into account the well-being of all local residents. It is mindful of its environmental and societal impact, and seeks to constantly reduce the use of pesticides, with the aim of eventually becoming pesticide-free.
To develop best practices, demonstrate greater transparency and secure the future of its vineyards, the sector has chosen to obtain environmental certification for its winegrowing estates while investing significantly in research and development.
As part of this initiative, winegrowers are committed to protecting their environment, as well as promoting biodiversity, ensuring air, soil and water quality and aiming for carbon-sober operations.

PRESERVING WATER
The Cognac sector is committed to preserving water resources. In the context of climate change, it anticipates the adaptation of certain practices. For instance, the Cognac sector considers that using water from the water table to irrigate vines is not sustainable. In addition, winegrowers are committed to preserving water quality by implementing good practices which aim to reduce the use of synthetic pesticides and herbicides with a view to abandoning them entirely in the long term (mechanical tilling of the soil, reducing spraying doses, using biocontrol and AB-certified products, etc.).
