- In partnership with environmental professional services company Red BioTerra, the pilot program will explore methods of maximizing carbon capture in agave fields by introducing additional plants, which absorb carbon during the day, between rows of agave, which absorbs carbon at night to avoid water loss.
- “Caring for the environment is a core value in our pursuit to produce the finest tequila,” said Servando Calderon, General Manager Tequila Operations, Casa Sauza.
- “We look forward to not only expanding our own sustainable practices at Casa Sauza through carbon capture, but also introducing carbon capture to the broader tequila industry.”
