DB launches Amorim Environmental Award
Amorim has teamed up with The Drinks Business Green Awards to launch the Amorim Environmental Award.
The cork manufacturer joins existing sponsors JF Hillebrand, Wines of Chile and Fairhills in sponsoring the Awards, which are now in their third year.
The new prize will look at a wine brand or marketing campaign which really demonstrates that care and consideration for the environment is an integral part of the company ethos.
Of course, this will include adherence to natural solutions such as cork closures.
Other criteria are concepts such as environmentally friendly pest control, recycling plans, renewable energy utilisation and reduction of waste.
The judges for this award will also take into account issues such as weight of glass and packaging, which can include innovations such as the use of water-based inks for labels.
Additionally, the award will consider issues with regards to the community as a whole.
The Drinks Business Green Awards 2012 is the world’s largest programme to raise awareness of green issues in the drinks trade and recognise and reward those who are leading the way in sustainability and environmental performance.
As a winner, you receive third-party credibility judged by our independent panel of sustainability and drinks industry experts, and unrivalled recognition on a national and international scale.
