Nos avancées

One year on from the launch of our 2030 S&R roadmap, four employees representing our four S&R pillars and eight leading commitments tell us what we have achieved so far.

NURTURING TERROIR

OUR LEADING COMMITMENTS

• 100% of our affiliates will be engaged  in a strategic biodiversity project (2030)
• Deploy pilot programmes in our 8 wine regions (2025)⁽¹⁾ in regenerative  agriculture and share this knowledge further with 5,000 farmers (2030)

JEAN-FRANÇOIS ROUCOU

Group Director of Sustainable Performance

" At Pernod Ricard, all our products come from nature. Our goal to move towards regenerative agriculture, which protects the land and the living, represents an ambitious transformation. Working with procurement teams in all our affiliates, we’ve launched a full mapping of supply chains for core ingredients from grain, grapes to agave and sugar cane. It’s a vital starting point for identifying pressing sustainability issues and potential biodiversity projects that we are defining with farmers and local partners. A key strength is being able to share knowledge across our different terroirs. Initiatives like the relaunch of our Wine Hub network on viticulture and wine making ensure that we can replicate regenerative practices elsewhere:  like planting a variety of nutrient‑rich crops between vines in Cognac which is optimising the nitrogen cycle, improving soil quality, sequestering carbon and creating an important ecosystem within the vineyard. "

VALUING PEOPLE

OUR LEADING COMMITMENTS

• Ensure equal pay (2022), a gender  balanced top management (2030)  and future‑fit training for our employees  at least every 3 years so that they can acquire new skills (2030)
• Train 10,000 bartenders on techniques  for a more sustainable bar world (2030)

LANI MONTOYA

Director Global Talent Management, Diversity  & Inclusion

" As part of creating the best work environment for our employees, we’ve rolled out an updated Group Health and Safety policy, Taking care of each other, based on the key priorities of culture, leadership and performance. Already underway, digital transformation has been accelerated during the Covid‑19 crisis as we adopted new tools and ways of working. Pernod Ricard University created a library of online training resources enabling employees to build up their skills. For our bartending community, we developed in partnership with Trash Tiki ‘an anti-waste bartending duo’, and the Sustainable Restaurant Association, a free sustainability and responsibility hospitality e-learning module, which was uploaded on the  United Nations' Educate All platform to promote the Bar World of Tomorrow. Diversity and inclusion actions have helped us close the gap (currently 2.3%) towards equal pay across our business, by 2022. Leveraging the awareness created by the global Better Balance initiative over the last 3 years, we are now moving on to the next stage to create an ever more inclusive organisation so that diversity becomes a real mindset, fully aligned with our value of conviviality.
