OPUS ONE WINERY

SUSTAINABILITY PURPOSE

Co-founder, Baron Philippe de Rothschild, famously remarked, “Making a great wine is easy, it’s just the first 100 years that are difficult.” As Opus One approaches the halfway mark of that century in 2029, the winery reflects on its journey with a clear vision for the future. In 2021, the Opus One team united to craft a 2030 Vision – a roadmap that identifies the behaviours and initiatives most vital to its employees, community, and the planet. A key outcome of this vision was the commitment to being globally responsible, embedded across every facet of the organisation, from vineyard to table. As both farmers and artisans, Opus One is deeply invested in the stewardship of its estate and the broader environment. The winery recognises that sustainable practices not only enhance the quality of its wines but also benefit its neighbours and customers. This ethos is reflected in a culture of conservation and mindful consumption, with dedicated efforts in energy efficiency, regenerative farming, water conservation, waste reduction, sustainable transportation, responsible purchasing and thoughtful food practices. Opus One’s sustainability journey is a testament to its enduring values – preserving tradition while embracing innovation to ensure a thriving future for generations to come.
