Concrete actions

100 wine-producing operations in the group have already opted to measure their carbon footprint. A specific spreadsheet program has been developed by the GROWERS IN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT group. The method was designed by and for agricultural technicians in order to facilitate their work of advising farmers. It limits the diagnosis time and optimizes the number of visits they need to make to the vineyards, in order to spend more time developing reduction plans.

Avec l’implantation en cours de panneaux photovoltaïques,  nous devenons la plus grande ferme solaire agricole du département plus de 2500m2 de toitures  équipée pour fournir l’électricité à plus de 150 familles. Parallèlement à cela nous isolons 5 000 m2 de toitures évitant ainsi toute déperdition d’énergie. Nous avons également diminué notre consommation en eau de plus de 30% notre objectif que Dom Brial rime avec Vignoble eco-citoyen.

Almost all the roofs of company sites will be covered with a total of 2200 m² of crystalline photovoltaic panels, equivalent to the annual electrical consumption of 132 homes.* This action will prevent 218 tonnes of CO₂ from being released into the atmosphere every year.

* Based on a figure of 3500 kWh/home/year; data from ADEME.

Out of respect for consumers, the environment and the winegrowers, DIE JAILLANCE has already succeeded in turning 10% of the vines that it cultivates over to organic farming, and this is just a start. By way of comparison, the national average is 2.6%.
