You can watch recordings of the IMW Webinar Series here.

The financial pillar of sustainability is the underpinning of an adaptive and thriving winery. However, it may be the most difficult to implement. So what are UN SDGs and SBTs, and why should you care about them when you’re just trying to make or sell wine?

Join us on 30 June as we explore economic sustainability across the wine value chain and how to cut through the noise to take action. In this webinar our panellists will discuss:
– What we mean by sustainability and why it matters
– How to measure and evaluate environmental, social, and economic impacts of business
– A roadmap for how a winery has adapted some of these approaches

This event will be moderated by Caroline Hermann MW with an opportunity for attendees to ask questions. This is the fifth webinar in a collection of sustainability-themed events. Visit the IMW webinar series page to view previous events or save the date for future sessions.
