Responsible, sustainable and ethical production
At Domaines Schlumberger, respect for the vineyard and passing it on to future generations in the best possible condition are fundamental issues that guide every one of our actions.
A pioneer in Alsace in this CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach, the estate has chosen to place sustainable development at the heart of its commitments. In each of our actions, we take into account the environmental, economic and social impacts, from the vineyard to the bottle: from the eco-design of our products to the preservation of the site’s biodiversity and historical heritage, not forgetting the well-being of our employees…
All of these efforts have been recognized. Since April 2023, the estate has held the Vignerons Engagés label, the first CSR label awarded in Alsace by AFNOR. As part of our 2026 renewal assessment, we reached a new milestone by achieving Exemplary status, the highest level of the Engagé RSE certification (ISO 26000 standard), with a score of 707 out of 1000 points. This progress reflects three years of building out our approach: formalizing our CSR policy, establishing collective governance involving management, staff, and teams, and rolling out a tracked action plan across all of our activities, from vineyard to market.
HVE: Healthier farming for the benefit of the environment
Since 2019, we have obtained Level 3 High Environmental Value (HVE) certification, which is the highest level of environmental certification for farms. This is a voluntary approach based on indicators and a requirement for results covering the entire farm. Based on 4 themes, this certification reduces the pressure of farming practices on the environment:
- preserving biodiversity (insects, trees, hedges, grass strips, flowers, etc.)
- phytosanitary strategy
- fertilisation management
- water resource management
- Our commitment continues with the conversion of our Pinot Noir to Organic Farming (AB) in 2022, and we hope to gain recognition for the many environmental practices that have already been employed at the estate for several decades.
Our commitment continues with the conversion of our Pinot Noir to Organic Farming (AB certification) since 2022, now covering 10% of our surface area. Our indicators reflect this commitment: biocontrol treatments account for 55% of our total treatment frequency index (IFT), compared to a 24% average among Vignerons Engagés members, and 100% of our plots are grassed for better resilience to drought.
This approach isn’t limited to the environment: it also shapes our social policy (training, quality of life at work, dialogue with our teams) and our role in the Guebwiller area, through numerous local, cultural, and community partnerships.
