Australian Vintage partnered with South Pole for rigorous carbon footprint accounting across its global operations. A transparent emissions profile now allows the leading winemaker to measure progress against net zero targets, ensuring every bottle reflects a commitment to corporate sustainability.
Committed to reaching net zero by 2040 and B Corp Certified, Australian Vintage needed to track environmental performance. With established science-based targets and a roadmap, they sought expert support for rigorous FY22 to FY25 GHG accounting to evaluate their sustainability initiatives.

To move beyond high-level goals, Australian Vintage needed a detailed carbon footprint analysis. South Pole calculated a comprehensive emissions profile for the entire value chain, including the challenging measurement of complex land-based emissions inherent in viticulture.
By delivering a detailed year-on-year analysis against the original baseline, we enabled Australian Vintage to see exactly where their sustainability roadmap was succeeding and where further action was required. This data-driven approach allows the group to move from theoretical planning to measurable impact, providing the clarity needed to adjust operations in real-time.
In an era of increased regulatory scrutiny, transparency is paramount. We provided Australian Vintage with exhaustive documentation covering calculation methodologies, assumptions, and specific emission factors. This level of detail ensures that their impact reports are not only engaging for consumers but also meet the highest standards for robust corporate sustainability disclosure and B Corp requirements.
With a clear view of their environmental performance, Australian Vintage is now better positioned to lead the wine industry toward a low-carbon future. The insights gained from the four-year accounting cycles serve as a foundation for future reporting, allowing the brand to share its progress with stakeholders confidently and maintain its position as a transparent, purpose-driven business.
The South Pole team helped us to understand our GHG emissions and set ambitious net zero targets aligned with best practice.
We are grateful for their expertise and ability to translate climate science into clear, practical actions that support real progress. This partnership has been instrumental in advancing our sustainability goals.
