Commitments

In 2021, Château Fleur Cardinale is the first Bordeaux Cru Classé to obtain the Engagé R.S.E. (Corporate Social Responsibility) label, awarded by AFNOR. We have obtained the “Confirmed” level of certification. The assessment report is available here. This label is based on the ISO 26 000 standard, and is valid for 3 years.
CSR commits us to being a responsible company, committed to being economically viable, having a positive impact on society, respecting the environment, and working ethically and transparently with those we come into contact with in the course of our business (suppliers, internal team, customers, local stakeholders).

Our CSR Policy sets out all these commitments.

We are very attentive to the health and quality of life of our employees. We are committed to ensuring that everyone works in good conditions, both in the vineyard and in the winery, and that everyone lives in environments that are clean, safe and ergonomic. Everyone has access to quality equipment that improves working comfort and reduces risks.
We are committed to ensuring that everyone can follow professional training to acquire complementary skills.

Finally, we make sure that the whole team works in a good mood, through moments of sharing conducive to team cohesion.

No discriminatory distinction is done when hiring new employees, whether related to gender, age, or the origin of the candidates. We give priority to internal promotions before considering hiring new employees.

As far as possible, we favour the hiring of interns and/or professionalization contracts within our estate, both in the vineyard and in sales.

We are committed to choosing quality suppliers who are committed to environmental and/or social initiatives.
Whenever possible, we choose to work with French and local suppliers and service providers. In this way, we reduce transport-related gas emissions and contribute to local economic development.

So 98% of our suppliers and service providers are French, and 70% are based in our region, Gironde.
