Sustainable development and responsibility are extremely important to us, and we know they are equally important to our customers. We want to be open about the products we sell, transparent in our operations, anticipate future requirements, and commit to improving the state of our planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help us meet the sustainability requirements of our discerning customers even better, we have developed Norex\u2019s own \u201cSustainability Meter\u201d to describe and highlight the level of sustainable development and responsible practices of our wine producers and manufacturers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meter makes it easier for our customers to obtain information about a producer’s sustainability and enables them to make purchasing decisions based on their own values. At the same time, by collecting and presenting sustainability information, we convey the importance of sustainability work to the actors in our supply chain and create positive pressure toward change and transparency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to emphasize that this is not an official certification, standard, or sustainability label, but a simplified visualization of the results of Norex’s own sustainability assessment.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sustainability Meter is part of a sustainability assessment designed together with Norex’s sustainable development expert and sustainability working group. It examines sustainability from three different perspectives (environmental, social, and governance responsibility) based on Norex’s defined minimum sustainability requirements as well as a sustainability survey conducted with wine producers and its results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the three areas is scored, and the meter bars indicate what percentage of each area’s maximum points the producer has achieved in our assessment. Below are examples of the visual appearance of the Sustainability Meter on our website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sustainability assessment and the sustainability meter describing its results are indicative. Although the survey we used to gather additional information about producers’ sustainability is based on publicly researched information and strong expertise in the wine industry and related sustainable development issues, it is not perfect. At Norex, we have decided ourselves which questions to use and how they are formulated. Not all responses received from producers and their accuracy can be fully verified; instead, the responses are based on strong trust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scoring has been carried out by Norex itself and very straightforwardly. Positive responses from a sustainable development perspective earn points, while negative ones do not. The scoring will be explained in more detail later. <\/strong> <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this stage, only wine-producing and -supplying producers who have given their consent to the use of survey data are included, but the intention is to expand the meter over time to cover the producers and suppliers of all our products. Although the meter appears on product cards and descriptions, it describes the producer’s level of sustainability<\/strong>, not that of the specific product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
