By 2020, Clif Family transitioned all of the energy use for our business and farming to MCE Deep Green 100% renewable energy service, setting our baseline for Scope 2 emissions. We also installed solar panels on our new office building and tasting room in 2021.

Scope 1: We are actively implementing a transition plan to replace our on-site farming equipment and company vehicles with electric alternatives as they become commercially available. Scope 2: We have achieved net-zero emissions for purchased electricity by procuring 100% of our power needs through MCE Deep Green, a renewable energy program. Scope 3: We acknowledge the substantial role Scope 3 emissions play in our overall environmental footprint. To achieve our ambitious 2030 sustainability goals, we are prioritizing significant reduction efforts in this area. While resource limitations have prevented establishing a baseline and measuring Scope 3 emissions to date, this activity will be a top priority within our evolving climate action plan for 2025 and beyond. One key achievement in this area in 2023 was to work with our custom crush winery facility to transition to MCE Deep Green for 100% renewable energy.

Scope 1 Actions

own facilities

Yes

Yes, we have solar panels on our office building.

own vehicles

Yes

Our goal is to transition 50% of our vehicles and equipment to electric as commercially available by 2030.

own processes

N/A

-

scope 2 actions

purchased electricity

Yes

We plan to continue opting into the MCE Deep Green 100% renewable energy program for the purchase of all of our electricity.

Yes

Purchases of goods and services have all been transferred to USA Manufacturers vs overseas Manufacturers to eliminate ocean and air freight carbon emissions.

capital goods

*

N/A

-

fuel and energy related activities

*

Yes

With the implementation of the plant-based thermal insulated shipper boxes in 2023, we are able to safely ship wine during warmer months via FedEx Ground vs. 2-day/Air freight and have reduced our carbon emissions as a result.

transportation and distribution (upstream)

*

Yes

The carriers we work with are all within the Smartway Transportation Group, and are committed to reducing carbon emissions within the supply chain transportation.

waste in operation

*

Yes

We have implemented new internal programs to reduce operational waste via our Second Life Packaging initiative at our Shipping warehouse. We reuse packing supplies that would otherwise be landfill bound so they can have a second life. We weigh all waste, compost, and recycling generated from our Shipping warehouse daily in order to better understand how we can improve our waste reduction efforts.

business travel

*

Yes

We have significantly reduced the amount of air travel for our business by focusing on events closer to our Napa Valley community.

employee commuting

*

Yes

Administrative roles are eligible for 2 x remote days/week, reducing carbon emissions due to commuting.
