About Kendall Jackson
Here at Kendall-Jackson, we take the same approach to sustainability as we do with any other business activity- we demonstrate leadership. Whether it's quality, customer service or sustainability, our expectations are to lead all industry. We don't look out at the horizon and say "what's the average company's sustainability performance - OK, that – more... good enough for us. Excuse me for sounding a little proud, but we're just not the kind of crowd that feels good about being average in anything we do.
In fact, the company has had strong individual programs for years, but nothing centralized. We've been using sustainable framing practices for over two decades to ensure healthy, productive vineyards for the future generations (we're a family owned winery). Our health and safety program for our workers is second to none and we appreciate and rely on a diverse work force. Each year Kendall-Jackson, and hundreds of our employees, give time and financial support to our community.
As with most organizations, the first years of our official sustainability program have been centered on the environment. We've focused on reducing our footprint by conserving energy and water use. We had some great success in the first two years, but we know that we've got a much more to do - and we've got a plan to get there!
Two facilities were awarded LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. All of our facilities and 10,545 acres of vineyard land that we own or operate are 3rd party certified under the Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing (CCSW) program. In Santa Barbara and Monterey Counties we have 4,200 acres of vineyards 3rd party certified under the Sustainability In Practice (SIP) program. In Napa and Sonoma Counties 100 acres of vineyards are 3rd-party certified under the California Certified Organic Farming (CCOF) program. Another 425 acres are being organically grown and will be eligible for certification after the three year probation period in 2011. Stratospheric Ozone Protection Award from the EPA in 2002.
Although we feel our investments and accomplishments put us on the leading edge, we know there is a lot more we can do. This year I'll be sharing with you some of the great work the Kendall-Jackson team has done so far, and the ways we're going to try to be better stewards of the land and the communities we share with our employees and neighbors.
Let me know what you think about what we're doing or share new and cool ideas in the sustainability world! – less – More from ZoomInfo »
