Short description:

in the early 2000s, the entire Champagne industry has undertaken an environmental impact assessment, that identifies four key areas for action: control of inputs and their potential impact on health and the environment, preservation and enhancement of terroirs, biodiversity and landscapes, accountable management of water, wastewater, by-products and waste, the need to address the energy/climate challenges

These areas form the focus of a "Champagne Business Environmental Management system", an environmental policy for the Champagne trade association as a whole, based on internationally accepted standards and implemented in order to meet the targets set.
