Protecting Coastlines

Written by  Staff Reporters

Babich Wines is sponsoring the Sustainable Coastlines Trust to support communities around New Zealand to clean and protect local beaches and waterways.

The company has a proud history of investing in water conservation initiatives, nationally and abroad, says Chief Executive David Babich.

"Over our 100-year history, through periods of drought, climate change, and increasing pressure on natural resources, we've always understood the importance of a healthy environment. Not just to the industry and the quality of our wines, but most importantly to local ecosystems and communities. Sponsoring Sustainable Coastlines is a really natural fit for us."
