Sustainability
Our commitment
Equalitas Certification
The Equalitas certification is the certification of the Sustainability Management System for the Wine Industry, which results from audits by CSQA and assesses both environmental, social, and economic aspects.
The Equalitas standard is a benchmark for best practices, indicators and requirements needed to manage wine activities in a sustainable way.
This integrated approach considers sustainability from three basic aspects: social, environmental and economic.
The commitment toward a increasingly more sustainable production model has allowed Banfi Società Agricola Srl to obtain Equalitas certification in 2021 and Banfi Srl in 2024. The Equalitas standard identifies best practices, indicators and requirements necessary to manage activities, promoting an approach integrated in sustainability in the wine industry.
Equalitas Product Certification, issued by CSQA, ensures that the wine conforms to the requirements of the Equalitas standard. It guarantees the traceability of the entire production process, through the identification and verification of good agricultural practices in the vineyards from which the grapes come, to the control of good practices in the cellar and during bottling.
ESG RATING
The company is committed to maintaining and continuously improving its sustainability standards, demonstrating that it is possible to combine the production of excellent wines with respect for the environment and society. Not only that, our company has undergone a rating process by the Cerved Rating Agency, obtaining the ESG rating.
The result? An improvement in the rating class to BBB, corresponding to a high performance band.
By obtaining these and other certifications, Banfi strengthens its position as a leader in the wine industry not only for the quality of its products, but also for its pioneering role in promoting a sustainable development model capable of protecting the natural and cultural heritage for future generations.
Contribution to sustainable development
Our idea of sustainability is developed around four fundamental themes. It focuses on the commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the 2030 Agenda adopted by the UN on 25 September 2015.
