Sustainability
Sustainability score: 6/10
Water management, lightweight glass, responsible packaging, renewable energy adoption at select Treasury Wine Estates (TWE) facilities, waste and resource reduction.
Lindeman’s, under Treasury Wine Estates, is a participant in Sustainable Winegrowing Australia and has improved water, energy, and waste practices. No organic or biodynamic practices apply to Bin 50. Light packaging lowers emissions, but large production scale and long-distance export increase overall carbon footprint. Steps toward sustainability are significant for a commercial brand, but not industry-leading compared to top certified organic/biodynamic estates.
