Best Practices

Esporão

Portugal

(Europe)

Herdade do Esporão was born in Alentejo to create the best wines. That motivation remains at the core of everything that they do, now extended to other products and territories.
In each place, nature inspires and helps them to do better.
Therefore, they strive to be responsible in how they conduct their business. This responsibility is not abstract or only collective; it is individual, embraced by everyone who makes Esporão a part of their life.
They promote nonconformity, change, and creativity.

Benefits

Guided tours and ecotourism activities create involvement and teach the community about the sustainable techniques applied on site.
In addition, they employ numerous locals, integrating the community and contributing to the development of the local economy.

At Esporão, they adopt practices that lead to reduced water consumption, production of healthy and sustainable products and energy reduction, preservation and improvement of soils and natural resources.

In addition, Esporão is a company that generates economic benefits for the local community, employing the population and establishing partnerships with small local producers, who distribute the food to the restaurants.

Key Success

The slow production of the product adjusts their pace to the pace of nature. Therefore, the land is always in the best way possible.
