Integrated Annual Report FY21

Chapter 1 : Our Group: Our purpose : conviviality

_ NURTURING TERROIR

As all our products come from nature, we have made it a priority to combat climate change (the 13th SDG(1) designated by the UN) and protect life on land (SDG 15). To ensure we maintain healthy and resilient ecosystems that allow us to continue producing quality products for the generations to come, we are committed to nurturing every terroir and its biodiversity. To address our agricultural footprint across the 325,000 hectares from which we source our ingredients, we are developing sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices across our business.

_ VALUING PEOPLE

As ‘Créateurs de convivialité’, our purpose is about sharing, warmth, care and respect for people everywhere. We strive to provide decent work and sustained economic growth (SDG 8) along the entirety of our value chain, and we champion gender equality (SDG 5) throughout our business. To create shared value for all our stakeholders, we are continuously reinforcing our commitments to human rights, diversity and inclusion across our leadership and in regard to health and safety. We are also committed to responsible procurement and training, particularly for bartenders.

_ CIRCULAR MAKING

The world is made of fi nite resources that are under huge pressure. By contributing to responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) and protecting life below water (SDG 14), our goal is to help preserve natural resources. In moving towards a more circular business model - from the packaging we use, to the promotional items we produce, to the way we distribute our products and how they are ultimately recycled – we are actively striving to minimise our carbon footprint and protect our natural resources.

_ RESPONSIBLE HOSTING

We want to ensure that our brands are enjoyed responsibly. Creating conviviality requires us to help adult consumers make responsible choices about whether and when to drink alcohol, and if they do so, in quantities that respect the maximum recommended levels of moderate consumption. We have an important role to play in combating the harmful use of alcohol and supporting health and well-being (SDG 3). To this end, we develop responsible drinking campaigns and programmes, on our own and in partnership with others, to inform consumers and our employees about the risks of excessive drinking. We have committed each of our brands to respecting responsible marketing practices.
