Pernod Ricard partnerships for water conservation
Pernod Ricard is strongly committed to protecting water resources. By 2030, we aim to reduce water use in intensity by 20%, achieve water balance in all high-risk watersheds and replenish 100% of water consumption from production sites in these areas.
Pernod Ricard has been a member of the UN CEO Water Mandate since September 2010, reaffirming its commitment to protecting water resources. This year, as part of the UN 2023 Water Conference, Pernod Ricard contributed with UNITAR and industry peers to the launch of the “Water Academy”, which is focused on delivering innovative training and building human capacities on pressing water-related issues at a large scale.
In India, Pernod Ricard India Foundation’s flagship programme WAL (Water, Agriculture, Livelihoods) aims to foster water resilience and promote sustainable and regenerative resource management, while securing the livelihoods of disadvantaged communities such as smallholder farmers, women and young people.
We want consumers and partners to join our journey towards a more sustainable future. Together we can develop packaging solutions that people want and the world needs. That’s why bold partnerships are going to be evermore crucial on our net zero journey.”

Maison Lillet
Maison Lillet worked with leading glass bottle manufacturer O-I to increase recycled glass content to 35%, as well as making its bottle 110g lighter - reducing carbon emissions linked to packaging and transportation.
Lillet’s front label is now smaller and biobased, they have removed the hot stamping on their back label, and their shipping boxes are made from brown cardboard, 100% recycled and certified FSC.
The new packaging won the Millésime Eco-Design award, run by the non-profit eco-organisation Adelphe which recognises organisations in our industry for their commitments to improving the environmental impact of their packaging.
