New Zealand Winery Sustainable Viticulture Pledge

New Zealand's wine industry is renowned worldwide for its commitment to quality and environmental stewardship. This Sustainable Viticulture Pledge helps wineries formalise their commitment to organic practices, minimal intervention winemaking, and biodiversity enhancement—values that resonate deeply with conscious consumers and industry partners alike.

Whether you're a boutique vineyard in Central Otago, a family-run estate in Marlborough, or an emerging biodynamic producer in Hawke's Bay, this pledge template makes it simple to document your sustainability commitments and share them with your community. Use it to capture detailed information about current practices, future goals, and measurable targets across soil health, water stewardship, native plantings, and chemical reduction.

Paperform makes it easy to create beautiful, on-brand pledge forms that reflect the natural beauty of your vineyard. Embed the form on your website, share it via social media, or send it directly to wholesale partners and distributors who value sustainability credentials. With conditional logic, you can tailor questions based on vineyard size, certification status, and specific environmental priorities.

Once a winery submits their pledge, you can use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate follow-up workflows—send a welcome pack with resources, add signatories to a public registry, trigger quarterly check-ins, or route pledges to regional wine associations for verification. If your pledge includes formal agreements or partnership terms, Papersign (papersign.com) lets you collect legally binding eSignatures on sustainability commitments, creating a complete audit trail.

This template is ideal for wine industry organisations, regional sustainability collectives, certification bodies, and forward-thinking wineries who want to lead by example in Aotearoa's sustainable viticulture movement.
