Freixenet renews its commitment to the UN Global Compact and relies on its commitment to the 2030 Agenda
Freixenet, world leader in quality sparkling wines, has renewed its commitment to the UN Global Compact for the twenty-second time. The company has been a founding member of the Spanish Network of the United Nations Global Compact since 2002, being the first company in the cava sector to be part of this initiative.
Freixenet has published the 2023 progress report, reaffirming its commitment to this United Nations project of global reference, as well as to the Ten Principles of the Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In the workplace, the company’s efforts to offer a complete training and development plan for its employees, as well as a health and well-being program, which has been awarded by Foment del Treball, stand out. On the other hand, Freixenet Group also maintains a long history of collaboration with different social, sports, environmental and cultural entities, supporting entities such as the Freixenet Orchestra of Escuela de Música Reina, the CE Noia Freixenet Sports Club or the Food Bank.
In the field of the environment, since the 90s Freixenet Group has been making great efforts to reduce the impact of its operations. Among the actions recently developed, it is worth mentioning the commitment to sustainable mobility with intermodal transport to different European countries, including the use of trains, the use of renewable fuels in part of the transport to Madrid and Italy or the installation of a photovoltaic park.
These efforts have been recognized on multiple occasions. Recently, Freixenet Group has obtained the Sustainable Wineries for Climate Protection Sustainability Certificate and the Responsible Shipper Certification (CCR), being the first company in the food and beverage sector to achieve it. In addition, the group has received the International Mobility Award for its sustainable initiatives and has been chosen among the 100 best companies to work for in Spain, according to Forbes.
