Château Troplong Mondot greenhouse gas emissions case study

Château Troplong Mondot, is a distinguished Premier Grand Cru Classé wine estate in Saint-Emilion, a Bordeaux wine region. Its unique geographical exposure leads to the distinctive, complex style of its wines.

The Troplong Mondot estate is blessed with remarkable biodiversity and for decades, the estate has been a proactive steward of the environment, focusing on three pivotal areas: preservation and enhancement of biodiversity, waste management, and the reduction of its carbon footprint.

Our challenge was to collect a large amount of data and to be able to analyse it efficiently and methodically to calculate our carbon footprint. With our tool and data being scrutinised by a third-party expert on the subject, this exercise required us to increase our skills in data management as well as our expertise in the carbon footprint tool.

• LRQA provided a rigorous service and identified a large number of areas for improvement were identified as a result of this project.
• Our carbon footprint tool and expertise in the field were both taken to a higher level.

• The assurance of having an accurate carbon footprint.
• Increased skills in the carbon footprint calculation methodology
• LRQA verified and validated the 2022 carbon footprint, giving Château Troplong Mondot a solid base to work from.

Following LRQA’s audit and validation of the greenhouse gas emissions quality management procedure, Château Troplong Mondot’s carbon footprint tool and the associated calculations have been certified in accordance with the industry reference standard. The audited carbon footprint led to Château Troplong Mondot achieving Silver Membership certification from the International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA) association, further solidifying their commitment to environmental sustainability.
