Viña Santa Ema

1. Santa Ema is ISO14.001:2004 certified, and this standard directly applies to environmental practices we develop in our processes on a daily basis taking care not to cause contamination of any kind.

2. We perform recycling practices such as, classification of wastes like glass, cardboard and plastic at the level of industrial process. We have recently incorporated recycling at administrative office level through collection of waste paper (newspaper, magazines, telephone books, stationary, etc.) in specific containers placed in our offices.

3. Use of recycled glass bottles and in some other cases of lightweight glass bottles, which actually means that the process requires less energy consumption and, therefore there is less emission of greenhouse gases.

4. With regard to greenhouse-gas emissions of our processes, we are currently analyzing and selecting a company to assess the measurement of our carbon footprint and subsequently be certified carbon-neutral. This matter has been delayed given the wide range of business providing carbon reduction solutions. Nevertheless, the recognition of respected protocols and certification at the countries of destination of our products lead us to take this matter in a serious and responsible way.

5. We have water flow meters in different areas of the company in order to track the consumption of water efficiently and responsibly.

6. We have two treatment plants of sewage and waste water (Industrial Wastewater Treatment). Although, they are complying with regulatory requirements for the operation of the company, Santa Ema is truly consistent with its ISO certification, and takes care of their good operation so avoiding to pollute clean waters or to result in objectionable odors to neighbors.

7. Agricultural burns are not allowed in our vineyards.
