Consumption of synthetic crop protection products The total amount of active ingredients used in the vineyards operated by the Group is 39.4 tonnes. Below are some examples of practices to reduce the use of synthetic crop protection products: maintaining grass between vine rows instead of bare soil; using pheromones instead of agrochemicals to combat insects (sexual confusion);
using mineral fungicides which are less hazardous to the environment (150.9 tonnes of sulphur and 4.2 tonnes of copper used in FY19). 280 hectares of vineyards, representing 5% of the Group’s total, are managed according to organic agriculture standards that do not use any synthetic crop protection products.

This is done using the drip irrigation technique, now used for 100% of the Group’s irrigated vineyards, reducing the water supplied to what is strictly necessary;
14,044 MWh (less than 1% of the consumption of the Group’s production sites).
