Valuing people
We provide equal opportunities and foster a respectful, fair and safe work environment where everyone can be their true selves and thrive, within our company and beyond.
As a business, we aim to foster a fair and safe work environment for our people. We engage our stakeholders across our whole value chain to extend these commitments beyond our employees and procure all goods and services responsibly. Our people work across 60 countries and represent more than 120 nationalities. This is our great strength, helping us to build high-performing teams, understand our consumers by market and grow our business sustainably.
Everyone who works across our Group contributes to our success. Whether they work in a farm, factory, distillery, with our customers or in an office; whether they spend their days growing, making, or marketing, this is a united effort. We take people’s safety very seriously, at every site. And we work hard to create a supportive environment where all our people feel respected and valued, and are given equal opportunities.

My grandfather was a true people person who believed deeply in looking after those who worked alongside him and in uplifting the communities around him. That spirit of care and connection continues to shape who we are today. I’m proud that his legacy lives on in our workplace culture, where we champion volunteering through initiatives such as Responsib’All Day.”

Creating continuous improvement for disability inclusion
We work to support our employees throughout their time with us, regardless of health conditions or disabilities. Through our disability inclusion plan we raise awareness, support employees and foster a supportive culture to engage and attract talent. We have accelerated our efforts across the Group to share a common vision and approach across our affiliates to support employees living with disabilities with a global framework and a five-year plan to achieve meaningful change.
In February 2025, Pernod Ricard launched a global campaign and learning path to raise awareness about disability. We chose the campaign slogan “It’s all about ConviviABILITY” to embed the concept in Pernod Ricard’s culture and collective mindset, emphasising ability rather than disability. The global campaign featured personal experiences of colleagues living with disabilities - some openly, others anonymously. Recognising that disabilities can be visible or invisible, these stories offer insights into the wide spectrum of disabilities in the workplace.
ConviviABILITY is more than a tagline— it’s a collective mindset that encourages everyone to support colleagues living with disabilities or health conditions. Disabilities don’t define capability— it is our skills, competencies, and individuality that truly shape who we are.”
