Ruffino

Results validated by DNV

The Ruffino Company was founded in 1877 from the intuition of two cousins, Ilario and Leopoldo Ruffino, who found in Pontassieve the ideal place to found what is, still today, the beating heart of the company and of Chianti. The original name at the time of the foundation was, not by chance, Chianti I.L. Ruffino: a combination of Italianity known throughout the world, a quality wine for everyone's table. During the almost 150 years of history, the estates and production spaces of Ruffino have expanded, redeveloped and equipped with cutting-edge technologies, without ever forgetting the tradition and the bond with the territory of origin. Today, there are around 250 people who contribute to the growth of Ruffino, with their daily commitment in the 9 estates of the Group. The company produces and markets approximately 20 million bottles developed on 37 labels, most of which are linked to the historic denominations of Tuscany including Chianti, Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino, alongside the production of Prosecco and Pinot Grigio in Veneto.

AIR Indicator

AIR indicator reflects the total greenhouse gas emission directly or indirectly associated with the company activities (GHG Inventory).
Total emissions are divided into six categories: Category 1 – Direct GHG emissions; Category 2 – Indirect GHG emissions from imported energy; Category 3 – Indirect GHG emissions from transportation; Category 4 – Indirect GHG emissions from products used by organization; Category 5 – Indirect GHG emissions associated with the use of products from the organization (NS=Non Significant as outside the reporting boundaries); Category 6 – Indirect GHG emissions from other sources.
The result is graphically represented by the ring in which the colored segments represent the contribution of each Category.

WATER Indicator

The WATER indicator expresses the potential environmental impacts resulting from the use of fresh water. It takes into account the water directly consumed and polluted by the activities that the company carries out, both in the vineyard and in the cellar, during a calendar year. These impacts are evaluated by two indicators: in particular, water scarcity (Direct Water Scarcity Footprint) depends on the water drawn from water bodies, while the estimate of the qualitative degradation of water (Non-Comprehensive Direct Water Degradation Footprint) derives from processes of re-naturalization of the water bodies.

TERRITORY Indicator

TERRITORY indicator assesses the impact of winery's activities on its surrounding area and local community. This includes: the impact on surrounding biodiversity, taking also into account initiatives carried out by the wine company to protect and preserve the environment; the social and economic impact on local workforce (both in terms of job creation and job quality); the impact on local communities that is producers and consumers. Such indicator analyses whether the winery has respected the socio-economic parameters required by the project.
