Climate and environment
We aim to reduce emissions from Vinmonopolet’s entire supply chain by 55 percent by 2030. This includes cultivation, production, packaging and more.

Vinmonopolet pushes for positive environmental and climate impact throughout our entire value chain. This involves growers, producers, suppliers, industry and certification bodies. Initiatives within packaging, transportation, cultivation, and production will contribute to a more sustainable industry worldwide. Changes are underway, but to reach our goal of 55 % cut in climate emissions it is necessary to make changes at a higher pace.
Packaging is most important
A study carried out by the Nordic alcohol monopolies shows that as much as 43 % of CO2 emissions from wine are linked to product packaging alone. In particular, the production and transport of heavy glass bottles requires a great deal of energy. We thus work systematically to shift more of our products into lighter packaging.
