According to the 2019 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report,
putting in place policies that support sustainable development is imperative. The
carbon neutrality concept introduced in 2002 is an efficient way to manage the
risks and reduce the vulnerabilities in the land and the food system. Given the
pivotal role of sustainability for todays' consumers, the low risk and high
rewards of carbon neutral production could help businesses transform their entire
sector. This article is among the first to show that the carbon neutrality
principle offers advantages that far outweigh the costs of maintaining the status
quo. The case study of a cognac producer in France suggests that prioritizing
sustainable development by reducing emissions could be a beneficial solution,
particularly in the high energy spirits industry. Specifically, implementing the
three stages (and substages) of the carbon neutral methodology to calculate
carbon footprint, this study provides evidence that distilling 1 hL of pure
alcohol produces 0.9 tons of CO(2) emissions. Proposing actions to reduce
emissions by 10%, and calculating the offset costs to evaluate the remaining
emissions, the study also offers a practical implementation approach and
discusses several potential legislative scenarios that might accelerate the
transition to carbon neutral production output.
