Sustainable winegrowing is not just something we do. It’s something we live and breathe. Hahn Family Wines was one of the first wineries in the region to have all its estate vineyards certified under the rigorous Sustainability in Practice (SIP) Program.
SIP is a strict third-party program that sets the gold standard for sustainable certification. It challenges growers and wine producers to constantly review and improve practices impacting the land, its people and future generations. We are proud to have earned the SIP seal, and to offer you wines crafted with the strictest conscientious quality.
Sustainable farming is about taking the long view – making decisions that not only enhance the health of the vineyard now but will benefit generations to come. Being SIP Certified shows our dedication to the 3 P’s of Sustainability – People, Planet, Prosperity. We are committed to the ‘3 P’ approach with our measurable set of practices.

Bulgaria-headquartered insect producer, Nasekomo, is looking to secure a niche function in the less capital intensive, upstream part of the insect protein value chain.
It has established a joint venture with French animal genetics experts, Groupe Grimaud, to create FlyGenetics, an alliance dedicated to increasing the performance of the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) as proficient transformers of waste biomass.
The JV will investigate different BSF strains, selecting those more efficient at converting several types of waste streams. “We will also look to shorten the life cycle of the BSF,” ​Xavier Marcenac, co-founder, Nasekomo, told us.
The Nasekomo team held discussions with Grimaud over 18 months on a potential collaboration. “We carried out some trials, the results of which were positive and led us to establish the JV.”

When a company is making an effort to move toward sustainability, they want to have proof of their intent. Managed print services can quickly provide this. The United States has businesses that use trillions of pieces of paper every year. This means that more than 1 billion trees are cut down to make this happen. These trees remove tons of carbon dioxide from the air every year. Therefore, there needs to be a movement to protect these trees. Managed print services can stop the madness of cutting down trees. When companies move to managed print services, they are going to use less paper because managed print services are going to make this process more efficient. Therefore, trees are saved.
