Inthe contemporary era, organisations have embraced the internet asaplatform through which they disseminate information about their economic activities and their corporate social responsibility, including their environmental responsibility. Consequently, the extent towhich anorganisation's actions are visible onits website can betaken asanindicator ofits commitment toenvironmental issues. The present article proposes amodel for evaluating the environmental commitment ofagri-food companies through the visibility ofobjective information ontheir environmental actions ontheir websites. The information ispresented intabular form, consisting of33items, and the combination ofthese with apredetermined weight gives anindex called the Environmental Commitment Web Index (ECWI). The model was applied toall large and medium-sized Spanish wineries in2018 and 2024. The findings indicate animprovement inthe environmental commitment ofthese wineries, asreflected bythe doubling ofthe ECWI during this period from 9.8points in2018 to20.2points in 2024. Nonetheless, the overwhelming majority of these wineries were regarded as exhibiting a 'very poor' environmental commitment: 94.2% in 2018 and 81.4% in 2024. It is concluded that all large and medium-sized Spanish wineries should undertake sustained endeavours to disseminate environmental initiatives on their websites.
