Sustainability Reports

"People who have been with us awhile have insights and job knowledge that you often can't get with a new hire. You can replace equipment such as a truck or a pump, but you can't always replace people."

SWP Online Self-Assessment Tool

One of the hallmarks of the CSWA's SWP program has been the self-assessment process that growers and vintners go through to determine where they are on the sustainability continuum. As of Fall 2006, over 800 vineyard enterprises and over 100 winery enterprises submitted SWP assessment data for inclusion in the statewide SWP database. Their data was housed in a secure desk-to database, but the participants did not have access to the data itself, instead relying on CSWA to provide them assessment reports.

The new Web-based self-assessment tool provides a number of benefits to SWP participants, both new and old.

A secure online environment to manage your assessment activities.
Reports available when you need them with ability to create email attachments.
Dynamic educational content that will be frequently updated.
Flexible structure allows set up and reporting for multiple vineyards/blocks and wineries in an organization.
Multiple users from your organization can access facilities they are responsible for.
Access action plan templates from a shared library and save your own personal plans.

How do I gain access to the online tool?

Obtaining a UserID and Password from CSWA

Existing SWP Assessment Participants (Pre-December, 2006)

	If you participated in a self-assessment workshop, submitted data to CSWA and received an assessment report, you will receive a temporary UserID and password in the mail with instructions on how to login to see your organization's assessment data.

New SWP Assessment Participants (California winegrape growers and vintners only)

	While we encourage you to attend a self-assessment workshop for a personalized overview of the SWP "process," you may instead want to go through the process online. If you are a California winegrape grower or vintner, have not participated in a CSWA-sponsored self-assessment workshop, and would like to do the self-assessment online, please use the Contact Us page to submit a request for a temporary UserID and password to access the SWP application. We will contact you to obtain minimal contact-oriented information so that we can set you up as an individual, set up your organization, and your vineyard and/or winery.

How is my data protected from other users?

Each user has a unique UserID and password that allows them to see only their data. The SWP site administrator manages the user security controls for the system.

How can I get other people in my company signed up?

Each organization has a Master User who can add new individuals to the SWP system and assign them to vineyards or wineries to do a self-assessment on those facilities.

Can I still have CSWA enter my data and send me a report?

While we encourage you to use the online application, you can still send completed self-assessment forms to us and we will set up an online account for you, enter your data, and create a comparison report and send it to you.

Please send completed self-assessment forms to:
