Why Vinca Wine Became a B Corp: Our Commitment to People and Planet
At Vinca Wine, we have always believed that great wine should not only taste good but also do good. That’s why we are thrilled to announce that Vinca Wine is now officially B Corp certified. Ever since we started Vinca Canned Wines on Jack's kitchen table, we've had our eyes on becoming a B Corp as it signals our intent to always be a company that makes a meaningful change.
But what does becoming a B Corp really mean? And why did we pursue this certification? Here’s a closer look at why being a B Corp is so important to us—and what it means for you, our valued customers.
What is a B Corp?
B Corp certification is awarded to businesses that meet the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. It is about transparency, sustainability, and ethical business practices, ensuring that companies operate with purpose and accountability.
To earn this certification, companies undergo a rigorous assessment that evaluates their impact on workers, customers, suppliers, communities, and the environment. B Corp certification means that Vinca Wine is not just talking about making a difference—we are proving it.
Why Did Vinca Wine Become a B Corp?
From day one, we set out to create a wine company that does things differently. For us, that meant making delicious, organic canned wine while ensuring every decision we make aligns with our values of sustainability and ethical business practices. Here are some of the key reasons why we chose to become a B Corp:
Environmental Impact and Sustainability
- 100% Organic Grapes – We believe that great wine starts with great grapes. That’s why all of our wines are made from organic grapes, grown without synthetic pesticides or herbicides. This not only results in better-tasting wine but also protects biodiversity and promotes healthier soil.
- Sustainable Packaging – Our choice to use lightweight, infinitely recyclable aluminum cans is about more than just convenience. Cans have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to traditional glass bottles, making them a more sustainable option for the environment.
- Lower Carbon Emissions – Aluminium cans are more efficient to transport, reducing CO₂ emissions throughout the supply chain. By choosing cans over heavy glass bottles, we are actively working to reduce our environmental impact.
- Minimal Waste – We are committed to minimizing waste at every stage of our production process, from the vineyard to the can.
- Eco-Friendly Production – We work exclusively with winemakers who practice sustainable farming and production methods, ensuring that our wines are made with respect for the environment.
Ethical and Social Responsibility
- Fair Pay for Growers – We collaborate directly with small, independent farmers in Sicily, ensuring they receive fair wages and ethical treatment. By supporting family-run vineyards, we are helping to sustain local communities and preserve traditional winemaking techniques.
- Support for Local Communities – Our partnerships are built on trust and respect, supporting local economies and empowering communities.
- Worker Well-Being – At Vinca Wine, we prioritize fair treatment, ethical labor practices, and diversity across our business and supply chain. We believe that happy people make better wine.
Better Wine for a Better Future
- No Artificial Additives – We are committed to making wine the natural way, without artificial additives. This not only results in cleaner, more authentic flavors but also aligns with our mission of sustainability and transparency.
- Vegan-Friendly – Our wines are made without animal-derived fining agents, making them 100% vegan-friendly.
- Transparency and Accountability – Becoming a B Corp means we are committed to measuring and improving our impact. It holds us accountable and ensures we continually strive to be better.
Business as a Force for Good
- Purpose Over Profit – At Vinca Wine, we believe that business should be a force for good. We are committed to balancing profit with purpose, making decisions that positively impact people and the planet.
- Certified and Accountable – B Corp certification is not just about meeting standards; it’s about exceeding them. It shows our commitment to continuous improvement and accountability.
- Part of a Global Movement – By becoming a B Corp, we join a global community of over 7,000 businesses dedicated to redefining success in business. Together, we are proving that companies can be profitable while making a positive impact on the world.
