TWE operates a Corporate Responsibility agenda which sees the company drive numerous initiatives to manage and reduce its environmental impact over time and work to create long term value in the communities where it operates.

TWE’s Global Corporate Affairs Director, Carolyn Coon said: “As a leading global wine producer and custodian to some of the most prized viticultural regions in the world, it is critical to ensure the success of our business is underpinned by being sustainable in everything we do.
