Corporate Social Responsibility

Pernod Ricard has grown in the respect of people and cultures. In 2003, it joined the United Nations Global Compact and, since 2005, has been listed on the extra-financial analysis index FTSE4Good. The Group focuses its action on four major priorities which have been acknowledged and implemented by all of its subsidiaries around the world.

• Priority number one: THE EMPLOYEES: Their professional and personal development is paramount, their international mobility is supported, and their entrepreneurial spirit is relied upon.

• A further strategic priority is Pernod Ricard’s commitment to its social responsibility policies: RESPONSIBLE DRINKING: Pernod Ricard is taking action against the risks of excessive or inappropriate drinking by joining the fight against drink driving and leading prevention and education actions for youths and pregnant women.

• ENVIRONMENT: Every year Pernod Ricard reduces the impact of its activities, through sustainable farming, preservation of water resources, promoting eco-packaging and the reduction of its carbon footprint.

• And finally, in line with its sponsorship policy, CULTURAL INITIATIVES AND SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP: This puts the Group’s stamp of support on all forms of individual and collective creativity, a priority within Pernod Ricard corporate responsibility policies.
