The acquisition of Fetzer Vineyards is a landmark in its history: one of the most significant investments by a Chilean company in the USA. The addition of Fetzer and Bonterra, pioneers of sustainable production, presents attractive opportunities for growth in both domestic and export markets. During 2011, Concha y Toro placed particular emphasis on strengthening the integration of its distribution activities in strategic markets through the launch of wholly-owned commercial offices in the USA, Mexico, Canada and South Africa. With 65% of its total volume distributed by its own network, sales and marketing efforts can be very closely aligned with the parent company’s objectives.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT The company has gone to great depths to work according to its philosophy of sustainability, and is intimately convinced that it is possible to work attuned to the environment, while being socially fair and successful business wise. In this sense, Concha y Toro seeks to recognize the deep link between its agricultural origin and the need to work with the environment in a respectful way.

First Transaction of the Santiago Climate Exchange

In the first place, we have continued to work since 2007 on the measurement of the Carbon Footprint with an independent audit. In 2011 it included measuring 100% of the goods and relevant components of the winery productive operations, further allowing for the assessment of the impact that each of its areas has on climate change. Concha y Toro has been implementing the use of lighter bottles –produced with less glass– which reduce emissions from manufacture and distribution. This project started with the varietal ranges and was later extended to the premium range Casillero del Diablo, resulting in an implementation of 73% of the total of bottles commercialized by the company and its subsidiaries. During 2011 and as one of its founder-partners, Concha y Toro registered at the Santiago Climate Exchange (SCX), a pioneering initiative in the transaction of carbon credits in Latin America. This allowed the winery to be the first partner in making a transaction. The carbon trade operation took place in 2011 in the context of the Carbon Neutral project of the Sunrise range for the Scandinavian market, thanks to which the company participated of renewable energy projects benefitting the environment and the community. [12]

- press kit 2012


Also in 2011 the company completed the measurement of its Water Footprint in alliance with Fundaci贸n Chile and the Water Footprint Network. According to the report data, Concha y Toro uses 40% less water in producing a glass of wine than the average rate of the world industry. The initiative was a first benchmark in the international wine industry using this methodology and has further resulted in the application of a permanent system of water reduction measurement.

WATER FOOTPRINT The first winery in the world to use this methodology to measure its water footprint.

On another key issue, important advances were also made in the Conservaci贸n del Bosque Nativo (Conservation of Native Forests), program run by our agricultural division. Its principal objective is the protection and conservation of native sclerophyll forests found on our lands and vineyards. 3,272 hectares of native forest were registered before the Chilean National Forestry Corporation (CONAF) as being located on winery land, in order to generate specific conservation plans that consider the particular needs of every area. Also and with the help of specialized entities, the company started working on a biodiversity assessment of the Peumo vineyards of Villa Alegre and Rauco. The goal is to collect information on the flora, fauna and microfauna found in these areas and suggest conservation alternatives.

3,272 hectares of native forest on Concha y Toro property were registered with CONAF, with the goal of generating specific conservation plans.

On a Corporate Social Responsibility level, the winery has undertaken several projects related to the management and care of people at the company level as well as with regards to the outer community. Some examples are: Training programs enhancing our workers abilities according to the responsibilities assigned to each post; higher education scholarships destined to our workers children, among others. press kit 2012 -
