Through their very essence, the cooperative cellars and by extension Terre de Vignerons fulfil these societal and economic roles: defending, promoting and improving the work of the cooperative cellars’ winemakers with the aim of providing a decent living to their families. The aim is also to preserve indirectly related jobs and, by a ripple effect, to energise the entire local economy in order to strengthen the rural fabric.
Taking into account the employees, winemakers and related jobs, Terre de Vignerons contributes to providing a living for more than 5,000 people. Terre de Vignerons has also set itself the mission to assist its members in practising sustainable agriculture that is environmentally friendly. The cooperative model is in itself a sustainable development model, inasmuch as it is a veritable lever for development of the local economy, in respect for human and social considerations.
Beyond such purposes, as a player in the agricultural domain, we promote all actions that help to preserve our environment, in particular by tending toward complete certification of our vineyards by the AgriConfiance trust label and by encouraging organic winemaking initiatives.
We strive to ensure the quality of our work, products and respect for the environment. We are constantly seeking to make progress. For our customers and partners, these certifications display the reliability of our production and our bottling and packaging facilities, providing them with guarantees of durable quality over time.
A real pedagogical approach around sustainable development
Undergoing regular audits helps us to improve our working methods. The audit requirements become more stringent each year and are a genuine opportunity for us to develop. For our customers and partners, these certifications are guarantees of reliability with regard to the consistency of our products’ quality and safety.
