Ganau America has obtained the Sonoma Green Business Program certification.  We are proud of this recognition as we strive in creating and implementing best practices for our industry. Our newly built facility in Sonoma, California, is energy neutral and equipped with a 119kW DC photovoltaic solar system. This system will prevent the emission of over 5,000,000 pounds of carbon dioxide over the next twenty years (the equivalent to planting 24 acres of trees). The exterior of our building is made of insulated metal panels that improve its energy efficiency and the interiors showcase sustainable materials like renewable bamboo flooring and recycled ecofriendly furniture. Our landscaping focuses on water conservation as we planted native, drought resistant plants and, of course, it features numerous cork oak trees. Ganau has developed an environmentally friendly products purchasing policy as well as implementing a recycling program. Since 1941, the Ganau family has been committed to producing and providing quality corks to discerning winemakers worldwide.  By setting a goal to be sustainable in every aspect of our operation and meeting social, environmental and economic responsibilities in the products we deliver, Ganau is running a sustainable and profitable business. Cork is a renewable, biodegradable and recyclable material.
