Lawson’s Dry Hills is the only NZ wine producer to have independent certifications for ISO14001 – Environmental Sustainability and ISO14064 – Carbon Zero, and in addition we are a Certified B Corporation.

We started our sustainability journey by joining Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand when it was launched in 1995. While this was a good start, we felt we could achieve more, so we embarked on the internationally recognised ISO14001 Environmental Management System and attained full, independent accreditation in 2011. Since then, we adopted ISO14064, reducing our greenhouse gas emissions even further, resulting in becoming a Toitū net carbon zero certified organisation in 2020. In 2024 we became a Certified B Corp, joining a movement of businesses committed to transforming the global economy to benefit all people, communities, and the planet.

Looking ahead, what are the longer-term company goals?
