Yokohama Winery will start an eco-friendly delivery service using electric bikes from Friday, February 12th. For the time being, the trial operation will be limited to certain areas. First, it will start in Naka-ku and Nishi-ku!
The goal is two points
Point 1: By using electric motorcycles, CO2 emissions while riding are reduced by about half compared to conventional motorcycles.
Point 2: Promote returnable bottle activities, in which bottles from previous deliveries are collected when delivering goods.
Returnable bottles are glass bottles that can be reused by returning, washing, and refilling them, and their environmental impact, converted into CO2 emissions, is about half that of one-way bottles that are used only once . In addition, electric motorcycles used for home delivery can reduce CO2 emissions by 40 to 50 percent when running compared to regular gasoline vehicles.

So, what are the SDGs?
SDGs is an abbreviation for "Sustainable Development Goals " set out in the " 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015. As a global goal aiming for a society with a good balance between the three aspects of economy, society, and environment, it consists of 17 goals and targets (achievement criteria) set for each goal.
The winemaking and various initiatives at Yokohama Winery, which is a place where people can experience food production, are in line with the SDGs framework, which aims for a sustainable society. These initiatives can be realized through various partnerships.
