\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Through its Center for Research and Innovation, Vi\u00f1a Concha y Toro is continuing efforts to position itself as a wine industry leader in sustainability.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
One of Vi\u00f1a Concha y Toro\u2019s main commitments in recent years has been to position itself as an industry leader in sustainability. Thanks to a range of initiatives in Chile and other key markets, the company has made major strides toward that goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n One of these initiatives is the Center for Research and Innovation’s (CRI) Sustainability and Circularity Strategic Program, whose objective is to research, assess and develop technologies and knowledge applied to conventional and organic winemaking. This program aims to reinforce Vi\u00f1a Concha y Toro\u2019s position as a company that acts respectfully toward the environment, a central concept in regenerative agriculture.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n \u201cThe Center for Research and Innovation has been working on this strategic program since 2018, when we were awarded the \u201cDevelopment and Validation of Technologies for Efficient and High-Quality Composting\u201d project by the Chilean Economic Development Agency (CORFO) led by Vi\u00f1edos Emiliana, in which we participate actively as partners together with Vi\u00f1a Cono Sur. We are currently developing field trials which will enable us to valorize our waste more efficiently and maximize the benefits of applying compost to vineyard soil\u201d, said CRI Researcher Rosa Roa.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n The benefits that will be provided by this strategic program include the fact that the evaluation of these practices in a scientific context will enable the areas involved to obtain clear information to aid the decision-making process, which has a direct impact on the company\u2019s sustainable development. \u201cIn parallel, we will continue to evaluate new lines of research on issues related to soil health, greenhouse gas emissions, waste valorization and vineyard nutrition, in order to contribute on several fronts to Vi\u00f1a Concha y Toro\u2019s commitment to maintain its position as a leader in sustainability\u201d, concluded Roa.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0Through its Center for Research and Innovation, Vi\u00f1a Concha y Toro is continuing efforts to position itself as a wine industry leader in sustainability.
