Commenting on the announcements, Director and General Manger, Sion Barnsley said, “We understood the need for businesses to operate more sustainably when we adopted ISO14001 back in 2011 and it has underpinned our decision-making ever since”. He continues, “It’s great for our small team to get this recognition and we hope the exposure encourages other wine companies to take action”.
