OUR VISION
“Born of the vision of my father, passed on to my sister Garance and I, Arvitis draws inspiration from the two founding pillars of the vineyard and human expertise.
With our wine business largely concentrated in two iconic wine regions – Champagne and Bordeaux – each and every employee has a role to play in celebrating the terroir, producing great wines, ensuring their worldwide expansion and engaging with local communities. All these factors form the bedrock of our unstinting commitment to address the many environmental and socio-economic challenges we face today.”

Our purpose
Passing on our skills and knowledge through future generations is without doubt the golden thread that connects our aims for the continued existence of our family and economic legacy. It also brings meaning to the work we do and supports our investment in an age of « quality over quantity ».
In 2021, a detailed audit of our environmental impact gave fresh perspective to the core purpose of our company, which led in turn to formulating our CSR approach.
While setting our four sustainable development goals, supported both internally and by external stakeholders and CSR experts, we focused also on collectively redefining our purpose, while aligning with fellow companies committed to pursuing a set of social and environmental goals: to pass on our wine and vine culture while playing an active role in the dynamism of our regions.
