CCC USERS FEEDBACK We asked a couple of wine grape producers to share some of their experiences with the CCC carbon calculator … HOW HAVE YOU FOUND THE USE OF THE ONLINE TOOL, EASY OR CHALLENGING? User 1: I am quite happy with the CCC tool. Once you’ve attend- ed a workshop to work through the tool it is very user friendly. User 2: The tool is mostly straight forward. Doing the allocations can be challenging. The report is easily understandable. HOW DO YOU FIND THE SUPPORT THAT IS GIVEN? User 1: Any technical queries that I’ve had I take up with support and they have always been able to advise me. User 2: Excellent. The support is of great help. HOW IS CCC ALIGNING WITH AND SUPPORTING YOUR CARBON REDUCTION STRATEGY? User 1: We are committed to reducing energy and water con- sumption and our impact on the environment, so the CCC report is a complementary addition to our data. User 2: As this is only the second year that we’re using the tool, we only have two sets of data to compare. But I can already see that electricity, packing and N₂ are the main contributors. What we’re doing now is installing more solar panels. I think the next step would be to look at our packing. We will also not use fertiliser if it’s not necessary. We will definitely look more closely at our CCC report in future as for some of our entities it boils down to a huge amount of money per annum.
