A COMPREHENSIVE AND RESPONSIBLE REFLECTION ON LIVING SOILS

A desire to preserve the soils has always been in the DNA of Moet Hennessy, its

Maisons and their founders, eager to pass their terroirs and craftsmanship down

to future generations.

Moet Hennessy has put the Living Soils at the center of its sustainable

development approach, within the context of a changing environment with complex

challenges.

The fundamental mission of the WLSF is to further accelerate the development

and sharing of knowledge to support soil protection and regeneration in

viticulture at a global level. This objective includes the preservation and the

biodiversity, adaptation to climate change, and the management and minimisation

of water consumption. Thus, the Forum will bring together experts from all over

the world, scientists, researchers, and participants from the wine industry, to

share experiences, best practices, and solutions applied in other countries and

even other fields of agriculture.

Philippe Schaus, President & CEO of Moet Hennessy, stated: "We need to find new

and ambitious solutions to the challenges directly and indirectly related to

soil conservation and regeneration in viticulture. Then, we need to share them,

so they become available to the whole world. The very future of our business

depends on it! This is the purpose of this first edition of the "World Living

Soils Forum" for which we have assembled a committee of internal and external

experts from all over the world to draw up a program that is both ambitious and

original. We want this forum to be a place of global discussion for the entire

industry to take action quickly and even better, within a rigorous scientific

framework."
