The award, presented by the British magazine The Drink Business, is the world's highest accolade given to companies that are committed to the environment.<\/p>\n
Sustainability and 'green' consciousness are a constantly growing reality in the world and in Chile. This time, it is Vi\u00f1a Emiliana that has been nominated as the 'greenest company of the year' during the 'Green Award 2012' competition, organised by the prestigious British magazine The Drink Business.<\/span><\/p>\n This is the most important award category in the wine and spirits industry. The award is presented to the company that has demonstrated - in the best possible way - its commitment to the environment, its employees, and the community, and that has made significant progress in its business practices in order to increase its 'ecological footprint'.<\/span><\/p>\n To become 100% organic and a producer of high quality wines - and one of the largest in the world - the Chilean company's team included high-level projects, from energy-saving programmes to Corporate Social Responsibility activities. <\/span><\/p>\n \"When we embarked on this project more than ten years ago, we were innovators and visionaries, and today we are realising that being organic and sustainable at 100% from the social to the environmental to the economic perspectives is possible. We are tremendously proud to get this award and it motivates us to continue our work in the same direction,' says Jos\u00e9 Guilisanti, General Manager of Vi\u00f1a Emiliana.<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to this important award, Vi\u00f1a Emiliana also won the 'Sustainability' award, leaving behind companies from Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Portugal, and many other countries. This award is given to the winery that has made the greatest efforts to achieve better and more efficient sustainable procedures. <\/span><\/p>\n The Green Awards 2012 ceremony took place on Monday 26 March at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower hotel. Emiliana sales director Christian Rodriguez accepted the award for his company. What began as a dream more than ten years ago is now incorporated into a portfolio of high quality wines that have received major national and international awards: a winery that adapts to the changes needed in the consumer world.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Il premio, consegnato dalla rivista britannica The Drink Business, è il più importante riconoscimento al mondo conferito alle aziende che si impegnano nei confronti dell’ambiente.
