Our organisation
Founded in November 2013, Fair and Green e. V. is committed to sustainable viticulture. To this end, the organisation has a sustainability standard and the further development of FAIR’N GREEN is also supported by a scientific advisory board.
The fact that FAIR’N GREEN was developed with a practical focus is also demonstrated by the fact that renowned winegrowers such as Clemens Busch, Reinhard Löwenstein, Nik Weis, Theresa Breuer, Axel Neiss, Meike and Dörte Meyer-Näkel and Philipp Kuhn were involved in the founding of the organisation.
Further information about the founding and history of Fair and Green e. V. can also be found in an article in the Handelsblatt.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The board of the association is practice-oriented, but also scientifically anchored. The board of Fair and Green e. V. is elected by the members of the association at the annual general meeting.

GET TO KNOW THE FAIR’N GREEN SUSTAINABILITY SYSTEM IN DETAIL.
We will be happy to provide you with all the contents of the system so that you can familiarise yourself with its scope. Please note that you as a company do not have to fulfil all requirements immediately.
The decisive factor is that you achieve at least 50% overall and 40% per pillar in the initial certification.
