THIS HAS BEEN AN EXTREMELY PAINFUL TIME FOR MANY OF US WITH THE CIVIL UNREST THAT IS OCCURRING THROUGHOUT OUR COUNTRY.
WE ARE ANGRY AT THE UNJUST KILLINGS AND RACIAL INEQUALITY THAT BLACK MEN AND WOMEN ENDURE.
OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SUFFERED THE EFFECTS OF RACISM AND PREJUDICE IN THIS COUNTRY.
SADLY, RACISM AND PREJUDICE CONTINUE TO EXIST IN OUR COUNTRY. WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH OUR CONTINUED COLLECTIVE COMMITMENT AND EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN A COMMUNITY WHERE ALL OUR EMPLOYEES, CONSUMERS, CUSTOMERS, AND SUPPLIERS ARE WELCOME, RESPECTED, SAFE, AND WHERE RACISM AND PREJUDICE ARE NOT TOLERATED IN ANY FORM. WE WELCOME IDEAS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO PURSUE THESE ASPIRATIONS.
We stand with you. We are in this together.
Sharing our differences and building on our similarities helps us think creatively, collaborate effectively and take pride in our accomplishments. Our internal Employee Resource Groups help us accomplish this by providing opportunities for professional development, networking, outreach and cultural enrichment.

Adhering to sustainable practices that are environmentally sound, economically feasible and socially equitable, we educate and inspire others to conserve and preserve. E. & J. Gallo Winery is committed to the communities where we live and work and believe that by acting in a socially responsible manner, we allow for our people and our planet to prosper.

As a family-owned winery, it is a priority to us that future generations can experience the natural resources we enjoy today. In fact, our commitment to the environment began in the 1930s when co-founders Ernest and Julio Gallo introduced an innovative approach to land conservation in the North Coast known as the “50/50 Give Back” plan. For every acre of land planted in vineyard, one acre of property was set aside for wildlife habitat — a practice that continues today in the North Coast. We also proudly support the American Farmland Trust in their efforts to help protect our nation’s farm and ranch land, promote environmentally sound farming practices, and improve the economic viability of agriculture.
The Dry Creek Building brings together key business partners in a common location and is designed to help drive collaboration and innovation. E. & J. Gallo Winery believes in the importance of preserving and enhancing the land for future generations and wanted the Dry Creek Building to be classic, timeless, and of the earth. The Dry Creek Building was completed in 2016, and achieved LEED® Gold status by the U.S. Green Building Council.
“We are honored that our new Dry Creek Building has received this prestigious recognition. The Dry Creek Building embodies our company’s long-standing commitment to environmental responsibility, and our desire to provide a collaborative and best in class workspace for our employees,” said Joseph E. Gallo, Chief Executive Officer and President of E. & J. Gallo Winery.”
Gallo was the first winery in the United States to receive the ISO 14001 certification. Created to assist companies throughout the world to reduce their impacts on the environment, our winemaking facilities and related businesses have been certified to be in conformance with these rigorous standards. These standards are incorporated in an environmental management system (EMS) developed by Gallo, which guides all processes at our wineries and spirits facilities throughout California and Washington. The EMS translates Gallo environmental policy into action at every staff level and encourages similar efforts with our suppliers and trading partners.
