Running a biodynamic vineyard, counting carbon emissons and planting trees has paid off for us this year as Cape Jaffa took out the 2009 SA Great regional sustainability award for the Limestone Coast in an awards ceremony in Mount Gambier last week.
The award recognises the winery’s adoption of sustainable practices and its recent partnership with Greening Australia to raise funds for a conservation action plan to be established for the Coorong-Ngarkat corridor.
The Limestone Coast is a diverse region which relies heavily on agricultural industries and nature-based tourism attractions, which is another reason we’re keen to reduce our carbon footprint and implement sustainable business practices going forward.
We’re thrilled to be recognised for our efforts in building a sustainable business and hope that the move we’re making towards reducing our environmental impact will inspire others in the region to do the same.
