          As an Official Partner of Solar Impulse and Host Partner of the Mission Control Center in Monaco, Moet Hennessy accompanies Solar Impulse at every moment of its round-the-world tour. Jim Clerkin, President and CEO of Moet Hennessy North America, greeted pilot Andre Borschberg on the tarmac at New York's John F. Kennedy airport. He presented him and Bertrand Piccard with a custom "Solar Impulse" golden jeroboam of Moet & Chandon champagne to celebrate his arrival and all of Solar Impulse's accomplishments thus far.
          "Celebrating Sustainability"
          Solar Impulse and Moet Hennessy seek to raise awareness of the vast potential of clean technologies. Together they celebrate a leap towards a better world.
          Moet Hennessy Chairman and CEO Christophe Navarre explains: "Like the visionaries behind Solar Impulse, we see not only a duty but also opportunities for improvement through protecting the environment. We rely on nature to create our luxury wines and spirits and promise to nurture her and leave her in a better place for the next generation. Our environmental policy sets high standards, with even higher ambitions."
          All Moet Hennessy wines and spirits are fruits of the earth. Their excellence results from the quality of the soil, the attention to the land and the craftsmanship of the men and women who create them. Moet Hennessy embraces a proactive environmental policy to preserve this heritage.
          As an example of sustainable agriculture, all of Moet Hennessy's Champagne Maisons achieved recognition as Sustainable Vineyards. Here in the United States, California wineries Domaine Chandon and Newton Vineyards obtained Napa Green Winery certification.
          Pioneer Spirit
          In addition to being an innovator in sustainable development, Moet Hennessy is defined by breaking boundaries, both geographic and human. From the beginning, each brand sought to attain higher levels of excellence and share their products with new consumers across the world.
          Moet Hennessy North America President and CEO Jim Clerkin explains: "Moet Hennessy brands have long been associated with innovation and a pioneering spirit. We are incredibly proud to be a part of the Solar Impulse journey and are thrilled to welcome the aircraft to New York City. As the United States is home to some of the greatest inventors in aviation, hosting the aircraft here further solidifies Solar Impulse's place in American history."
