Pernod Ricard announced on June 4, 2020, that it had produced over 3.5 million liters of pure alcohol to address a global shortage. The company also manufactured nearly one million liters of hand sanitizer at its own facilities.
The 10th annual Responsib'ALL Day, an event dedicated to employee solidarity and community initiatives, could not be held physically due to pandemic restrictions. However, the company continued its support activities.
In addition to alcohol and hand sanitizer, Pernod Ricard donated medical equipment, including ventilators and intensive care beds, along with 475,000 masks. The company also provided over 3 million euros to support the hotel, café, and restaurant (HCR) sector through programs offering free meals and financial aid.
Support was also extended to suppliers through early payment of commitments. To mark the occasion, dozens of employees participated in a video discussing the meaning of a responsible company.
