The objective of KM0 of Alicante DOP Wines in its territory
is to ally itself with the climate of this region. The CRDOP
Alicante has achieved the protection of wine landscapes
through a specific order from the Urban Planning
Department of the Valencian Government, which
attempts to slow down some of the abuses on the territory
and, therefore, on the climate. The Carbon Footprint
project also reinforces climate action.

13. Climate action

The Regulatory Council, in addition to bringing together
two figures in the sector such as winegrowers,
wineries and even distribution and commerce,
is part of other organizations which collaborate for
the development of the sector and Alicante, or the
cultivation of vineyards.

17. Alliances to achieve objectives

The vineyard preserves acts against desertification and degradation.
• FSC ecological paper.
• Biodiversity of varieties, organic farming.
• The vineyard protects from desertification and land degradation.

15. Life of terrestrial ecosystems

The commercial objective of the Regulatory Council
is to encourage Km0, Local Consumption of Alicante
DOP Wines in the same production area, so that we
are more sustainable, by reducing carbon dioxide
emissions generated by export transportation and
consumption, within an authentic Mediterranean diet.

12. Responsible production and consumption

The DOP Alicante is a community of winegrowers and
wineries who collaborate with each other, represented
in the organization of the Regulatory Council itself,
a public law corporation that equally groups the interests
of both parties. Its accounting is public and non-profit.

11. Sustainable cities and communities

The Regulatory Council has established a hiring policy
without discrimination based on age, race, gender,
sexual orientation or religious beliefs. In addition,
it collaborates in the Alicante Gastronómica Solidaria
project, which feeds people at risk of exclusion.

10. Reduction of inequalities

In the case of Alicante, the small size of the facilities
and the coexistence with structural elements of the
landscape and the vineyard, collaborate to create a
responsible and sustainable industry, with microenterprises,
cooperatives or family businesses that protect the rural
environment and the culture of the territory.

9. Industry, innovation and infrastructure

In recent years, the objective of the Regulatory Council
is to increase the marketing of Alicante DOP Wines
so that agricultural income can increase in the production
area with this crop, which has had one of the lowest
prices in agriculture for decades.

8. Decent work and economic growth

The Alicante DOP project to reduce the carbon footprint
of our wines meaning that savings measures are calculated
and established in the industrial part of the wineries.
Measures and resources that will be implemented in
coming years.

7. Affordable and non-polluting energy

The responsible consumption of water in the wine
sector is one of the greatest values that we treasure,
especially in a territory threatened by desertification
like Alicante.

6. Water and sanitation

One of the objectives is to achieve the incorporation
of more women in the sector and to approach
them as expert consumers as well. Campaigns are
also created to raise awareness of the harvest activity,
which involves the participation of numerous temporary
but trained foreign personnel.

5. Gender equality

In the Alicante DOP, education is a basic promotional
tool that provides reasoned information about its
products and educates about responsible wine consumption.
This is how we introduce all cultural elements in pursuit
of responsible and conscious consumption. Educational
activities of the DOP Alicante are ongoing throughout the year.

4. Quality education

The Alicante DOP promotes wine as an integrated
part of the authentic Mediterranean diet, involving
a wide variety of products, small consumption and
local food. In other areas of work, in wineries, occupational
prevention measures have been established, taking
into account that it is a sector with delicate processes in
harvesting and processing (physical and chemical).
