On the bank of the three rivers, there is an ecological wetland, where the water and grass are abundant from afar, the sunset is setting, the birds are glimpsing, accompanied by the sunset, constituting a gorgeous picture of natural harmony. Looking down from mid-air, patches of aquatic plants, swamps and pedestrian loops form a huge Wuliangye logo shape, which is the Wuliangye environmental protection ecological wetland.
On February 26th, the provincial mainstream party media "China Wine King" New Year Gathering Activity, jointly sponsored by Sichuan **Quan** and Wuliangye Company, came to the national "green factory" - Wuliangye Environmental Protection Ecological Wetland to find the "password" of green development in a drop of fine wine.
How to protect the ecology of the Yangtze River?
It is necessary to use the standard of "being able to make good sake".
The Yangtze River, rushing down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, winds between the mountains and mountains, and converges with the Jinsha River and the Minjiang River at the mouth of the three rivers in Yibin - Yibin, also known as the "head of the Yangtze River". The Yangtze River Economic Belt covers 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, with a population and economic aggregate accounting for half of the country's total, with a prominent ecological status and huge development potential.
Standing at the height of history and the overall situation, we will personally plan, deploy and promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. "As a city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, it is necessary to strengthen the upstream to play a ......It is necessary to use the standard of being able to make fine wine, and find ways to protect the water quality of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, so as to benefit the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the entire river basin. "In June 2022, Yibin Sanjiangkou, ** once again made important instructions to build a solid ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and protect the clear water of the river.
Wuliangye, which is located in the core area of the ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, how to keep in mind the entrustment to do a good job in ecological protection? The group came to Wuliangye Ecological Wetland to carry out field visits.
According to the on-site staff, only good mountains and good water can make good wine. Wuliangye is well aware of the long-term impact of ecological protection on the development of the wine industry. In recent years, Wuliangye has focused on protecting the ecological barrier in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and promoting the green and low-carbon transformation of production methods, planning from a high starting point and upgrading to a high standard to build the industry's largest pure grain solid-state liquor base. Wuliangye's environmental protection and ecological construction plan clearly requires that the construction of ecological civilization be effectively integrated into the whole process of enterprise production and operation, fully implement the concept of green development at a higher standard and higher level, and help the construction of ecological barriers in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, with a total investment of more than 1.5 billion yuan to actively promote the construction project of ecological wetlands including Songgong River (Wuliangye Section).
Wuliangye is the beneficiary of the high-quality water quality in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the guardian of the ecology of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. The relevant person in charge of Wuliangye said that on how to protect the ecology of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and effectively assume the ecological responsibility and social responsibility of large state-owned enterprises, Wuliangye kept in mind the entrustment and took the "standard of brewing fine wine" as a yardstick, transformed the Minjiang River into an ecological wetland park, and built it into an ecological construction project complex integrating recreation, activities, education, scientific research and promotion and demonstration.
The symbiosis between Wuliangye and the Yangtze River impressed the group deeply. "When I came to the field today, I learned that the water used to brew Wuliangye originated from the ancient channel of the Minjiang River. This glacier snow meltwater rushes for thousands of miles, through the natural filtration of sediment and rock layers, it is pure, clear, luscious and delicious, and is also rich in more than 20 kinds of trace elements that are beneficial to the human body. This is the unanimous feeling of the members of the group.
Take the lead in creating a "zero-carbon wine enterprise".
The "password" of low-carbon development in a drop of fine wine
For the traditional industry of liquor brewing, how to achieve carbon reduction and green development has always been an important topic. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of the Energy and Environmental Protection Department of Wuliangye Group said in an interview: "In fact, since the 90s of the last century, Wuliangye has been keenly aware of this very early and has begun to continue to explore and innovate."
According to reports, as early as the 90s of the last century, Wuliangye built an industry-leading distiller's grains recycling process system; Since 2013, Wuliangye has invested 1700 million yuan to implement the "coal-to-gas" project, in 2018, all natural gas has replaced coal, and 100% clean energy is used; After the completion of the "coal-to-gas" project, Wuliangye began to actively explore the ...... of "gas-to-electricity".
As a leader in the liquor industry, Wuliangye took the lead in proposing the creation of a "zero-carbon liquor enterprise" in the liquor brewing industry in 2021, which has aroused widespread concern in the society. On November 14, 2022, at the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) Sustainability Working Group meeting held in Thailand, the 2022 annual report "Sustainable China Industrial Development Action" "Beyond Net Zero Carbon" was released, and Wuliangye became the only wine company selected for the report. On December 20, 2022, the 2022 "China Brand of the Year Award" was announced in Shanghai. With its continuous low-carbon transformation measures, Wuliangye was selected together with famous brands such as CATL and Honeywell, and won the "Top Ten Influential Brands of China's Green Ecology". On September 17, 2023, the "2023 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Summit Side Event - Industrial Sustainable Innovation" was held in New York, USA, and Wuliangye was selected as an excellent case of the United Nations 2023 Sustainable Development Goals Summit side event.
We will integrate the construction of ecological civilization into the whole process of enterprise production and operation, fully implement the concept of green development at a higher standard and higher level, and help the construction of ecological barriers in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. The relevant person in charge of Wuliangye told the group of wind collectors.
During the on-site visit, the group further learned that the roadmap of Wuliangye's "zero-carbon wine enterprise" has been clear and continues to advance. "Wuliangye has been actively promoting the optimization of energy structure and promoting the green transformation of enterprise development mode from the source. The relevant person in charge of the Energy and Environmental Protection Department of Wuliangye Group said that Wuliangye has formulated a target plan for "zero-carbon wine enterprise" and "14th Five-Year Plan" energy plan in line with the actual situation of the enterprise, and is formulating enterprise standards for the green and low-carbon development of Wuliangye, and will implement the construction of "zero-carbon wine enterprise" from the aspects of source control, energy structure, technical guidance, and infrastructure construction. "Taking the technical level as an example, in the near and medium term, Wuliangye will actively reduce emissions from technical paths such as improving energy efficiency, efficient utilization of biomass, biogas power generation, and electric energy substitution. ”
In the future, Wuliangye will continue to unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development. We will spare no effort to practice the requirements of "strengthening the responsibility of the upstream, and trying every means to protect the water quality of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River with the standard of being able to make fine wine", earnestly grasp the construction and maintenance of the Minjiang ecological wetland in the upper reaches of the park, continue to optimize the green energy structure, accelerate the construction of the energy efficiency system, strengthen smart energy management, insist on providing ecological products, continue to meet consumers' yearning for a better life with green products and high-quality products, and set an ecological benchmark for the high-quality development of the industry.
