Mission

THE NCC is dedicated to educating wine consumers and the wine industry about the importance and benefits of cork as the most sustainable wine closure

990 for the year ended December 31, 2025

Program accomplishments

  • In 2025 the NCC launched a public awareness campaign targeting the environmental and sustainable efforts by our organization and the Portuguese government. This campaign focused on the regenerative cork forest planting projects which included a fertigation project that is aimed at developing faster growing and more climate resistant cork trees. We also helped fund a land reclamation project which takes land that has been abandoned and re-plants cork oak to prevent forest fires, reduce the effects of desertification and soil erosion. The NCC has partnered with the Cork Collective to remove millions of cork stoppers from our landfills and upcycle them into consumer and sports related products. To date the Cork Collective project has removed over 2 million corks from landfills.
