Does the CNC certify carbon neutrality?
No, the CNC is a voluntary effort by participating members of the Oregon wine industry to reduce their climate change impact. The CNC emphasizes continual improvement and reduction of carbon emissions, and then joint investment in a regional, verifiable carbon offset in the agriculture sector to take responsibility for the remaining emissions and reduce the equivalent amount of emissions remaining. At this time, there are no third-party organizations in the United States that certify carbon neutrality.
