"Through Living Soils, Moet Hennessy aims to unite its communities across the

world and develop a global social responsibility program." Philippe Schaus

The rising concern around climate change affects us all. This "Living Soils"

forum is intended to move the conversation forward and facilitate a discussion

and ultimately raise awareness without taboo.

"A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world" -

Louis Pasteur. This philosophy has been at the heart of Moet Hennessy's vision

for continuous progress on the human side, as well as in terms of knowledge,

methods and technology. Climate change, preservation of the soils, water and

energy conservation, as well as sustainability in supply chains all factor in

to the protection of the "Living Soils". On this occasion, Moet Hennessy made

three announcements:  

- In 2020, all of its vineyards in Champagne will be herbicide-free and the

Division will provide support to winegrower partners to help them become

certified sustainable.  

- Moet Hennessy will invest €20M in a research center in the Champagne Region

devoted to scientific research around sustainable viticulture  

- A "University of Living Soils" will be created to encourage the sharing of

knowledge and best practices. Its aim will be to enrich the debates on progress

toward a more sustainable future for wine and spirits in an inclusive way.

Moet Hennessy's vision across all Maisons is to lead the way for future

generations, so that all employees, consumers and winemakers can continue to

enjoy and discover its wines and spirits in a consistent and integrated way

that is respectful of nature.
