Our governance and management structure

Our governance and management structure

Pernod Ricard’s ethical business governance is ensured by the Group’s Board of Directors and operational management bodies, for the benefit of all our stakeholders.

The management structure includes:

  • An Executive Committee, comprised of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, function and business leaders
  • An Executive Leadership Team comprised of the Executive Committee and leaders representing key Group functions, the 10 management entities covering all markets, and key global brands.

This structure ensures fewer but more strategic interactions with affiliates. It optimises ways of working, reinforces mutualisation of expertise and promotes empowerment.
