Pernod Ricard Recognized for Sustainability and Responsibility Progress
Pernod Ricard has received recognition from the UN Global Compact and a new societal commitment index for its progress on sustainability goals. The company has accelerated its 2030 roadmap targets.
Pernod Ricard has been acknowledged for its advancements in sustainability and responsibility, marking significant progress against its 2030 roadmap targets launched in 2019. This roadmap aligns with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and focuses on four pillars: Nurturing Terroir, Valuing People, Circular Making, and Responsible Hosting.
The company was awarded 'Lead' status by the United Nations Global Compact for the third consecutive year. Pernod Ricard is the sole wine and spirit company globally to be recognized for its ongoing commitment and progress in line with UN SDGs and its Ten Principles for Responsible Business.
Furthermore, Pernod Ricard ranked fourth in the new Societal Commitment Index by Brighthouse and BCG GAMMA. This index highlights the correlation between a company's societal commitment and financial performance, evaluating factors such as employees, partners, clients, reputation, and society as a whole.
In alignment with its 'Nurturing Terroir' pillar, Pernod Ricard has joined the Business for Nature coalition, a group of global businesses dedicated to nature protection. This move underscores the company's commitment to environmental protection and biodiversity preservation as part of its 2030 roadmap. The company is piloting regenerative and sustainable agriculture practices with farming partners and developing biodiversity projects worldwide.
