benefits of membership

Napa Green is a boots on-the-ground sustainability certification program designed specifically for the wine industry. It offers a path to achieving climate action targets while strengthening the resilience of the land, business operations, and the community. The program assures consumers of its rigorous standards through validation of practices by an independent third party audit.

  • Wine Industry Leadership: Meet rigorous standards for climate action, waste and emissions reductions, and conserve water, energy and resources for future generations.
  • Integrated Resource Assessment: Receive a one-stop, whole system energy, water, materials management and Scope 1 &2 emissions assessment with an experienced engineer. Establish metric baselines to track improvements over time.
  • Consumer Values: Sustainability-marketed products are selling 2.3 times faster than conventional items, based on an index of over 70,000 consumer-packaged goods. Third-party certification offers a way to build resilient vineyards, differentiate wines, and create new narratives.
  • Return on Investment: We’ve helped members identify over $5,000,000 in energy savings, rebates, and efficiency improvements. We also connect members to new markets, retailers, and restaurants that require rigorous third-party sustainability certification.
  • Reduce Emissions: Packaging and distribution account for 40-60% of vineyard and winery emissions. Napa Green Winery certification includes a Scope 1 & 2 emissions review (direct onsite and purchased energy).
    Build Community: Gain access to resources and a like-minded community working through our local industry issues and challenges together
  • Expert Consulting Team: We provide expert boots on the ground support with hands-on guidance in the transition to regenerative, climate-smart viticulture.
  • Sustainability Story: help share your sustainability story with buyers with clear messaging and branding around sustainability certification.

testimonials

"Napa Green certification provides a clear and complete path for our wineries and vineyards to reduce climate impacts and to become stronger partners with all of us who are working on climate action in Napa Valley."
Chris Benz, Napa Climate NOW! and Sierra Club Napa Group
"Throughout the certification process, the Napa Green staff provided close guidance around specific tools and services to build on each of the six pillars of sustainability: water, waste, energy, regenerative farming, synthetic chemical reduction and social equity. Following the initial certification, they have continued to share their knowledge and experience to increase our understanding of sustainable best practices moving forward."
Tod Mostero, Director of Viticulture & Winemaking at Dominus Estate
"Making the commitment to third party certification takes time and effort, but it is worth it to demonstrate our commitment to the community and to protect our watershed, our land and the air we breathe.​"
Susan Boswell, Owner of Chateau Boswell Winery

@closduval’s bottles from Verallia are 30% lighter than traditional bottles, which represents a 34% reduction in carbon emissions from glass production alone!

Lightweight glass saves natural resources, lowers transportation costs and emissions, and reduces the risk of employee injuries. Not only is it infinitely recyclable, it’s also beautiful!

Get a bottle (or several) of this @napagreen certified wine to feel and taste the commitment sustainability from soil to bottle.
