At The Wine People, we believe that sustainability is not a destination, but an ongoing journey, which is shaped by concrete actions and accountability. We are proud to highlight our commitment to sustainability by supporting our partner North South Wines’ Champion Status in the Harpers Sustainability Charter, an initiative that brings together UK drinks industry businesses, collectively working towards a more sustainable, transparent and collaborative future across the entire supply chain.

What does being part of the Charter mean for us?

Long-term commitment
For over three years, we have actively supported this pathway, reinforcing our determination to grow responsibly and measurably over time, something that underpins our partnership with North South Wines.

Commitment to the UK market
Alongside our Equalitas certification, our participation reflects an approach to sustainability that goes beyond national borders, actively involving our export markets - particularly the UK.

Using our voice to drive change 
Through Stefano Girelli’s direct contribution, we actively engage in the international sustainability dialogue within the wine trade, taking part in roundtables and initiatives. This commitment is further strengthened by his role as a shareholder in North South Wines.

The Harpers Sustainability Charter promotes a practical and measurable approach to sustainability, tracking companies’ progress across key areas such as emissions reduction, renewable energy, packaging, welfare, inclusion, and social responsibility.

Being part of this network means sharing best practice, helping to raise industry standards, and creating value across the entire supply chain. For us, sustainability means acting responsibly today to generate lasting value for tomorrow.
