Grapes of Change for a wine sector where dignity, safety, and equal opportunity are non-negotiable standards
We joined Grapes of Change because real transformation happens when communities, businesses, and institutions act together. Cultivating equality is essential to building a resilient and inclusive wine sector.
We would like to see the following changes happening in the wine sector:
- Clear and enforceable policies against gender-based violence and harassment
- Safe reporting mechanisms accessible to all workers
- Greater representation of women in leadership and decision-making roles
- Continuous awareness-raising and training embedded in sectoral practice
- A shift from silence and stigma toward transparency and shared responsibility
Ultimately, we envision a wine sector where dignity, safety, and equal opportunity are non-negotiable standards and where cultural transformation supports long-term sustainability and resilience.
