We're opening our doors to industry fellows and all those who wish to take part in creating an increasingly sustainable viticulture," comments Philippe Schaus, CEO of Moet Hennessy. THE LEADING RESPONSIBLE FORUM ON VINE, WINE AND SPIRITS ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES Moet Hennessy has invited a community of experts: vineyard directors, researchers, sommeliers, spokespeople from international institutions, NGOs, and young companies specializing in technology and sustainability. Each panel is comprised of experts from Moet Hennessy's Maisons and specialists from around the globe. They will take turns addressing the current state of soils and biodiversity, exposing their theories and advances, and will share their solutions regarding current production models to accelerate the ecological transition. The format of these discussions is voluntarily open and dynamic: a series of conversations lasting thirty minutes followed by a ten-minute Q&A session with the public. This program will be punctuated with moments of sharing, in the form of tastings and masterclasses around products of Moet Hennessy Maisons'. THE COMMITMENT OF MOET HENNESSY: LIVING SOILS During Vinexpo, Moet Hennessy will present its approach and the actions that have been undertaken these past years: significant investments in equipment respectful of the environment, training in new technologies for winegrowers and farmers, assistance in acquiring sustainable winegrowing certifications, as well as supporting scientific and university projects to share and disseminate knowledge. Moet Hennessy will also announce its commitments for the future. Hence, it's under the designation "Living Soils" that Moet Hennessy aims to unite its communities across the world and develop its social responsibility program. IN TUNE WITH THE NEW GENERATION Because they are the actors of the future, Moet Hennessy is inviting members the new generation to these discussions. On the last day of Vinexpo, a conversation on the future of winegrowing with Philippe Schaus, CEO of Moët Hennessy, will be devoted to them. This debate will be followed by workshops on the future of gastronomy and wines in 2050, with the exceptional participation of Alain Ducasse and led by the Institute for Desirable Futures. Indeed, professions within the gastronomy industry are increasingly attracting young talents from across the world and in France, whose prestige in this area is undisputed. For this reason, Moet Hennessy has decided to bring together leadership and millennials of its various Maisons, Grand Chefs, students from Sciences Po and the Ferrandi school of culinary arts and hospitality. Together, they will reflect on the future of sustainable gastronomy and deliver their conclusions.
