PERNOD-RICARD - URD 2020-21

____ 3. SUSTAINABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY THE FOUR PILLARS OF THE GOOD TIMES FROM A GOOD PLACE ROADMAP

Launched in 2019 this ambition was structured into a Global Health & Safety Policy called “Taking Care of Each Other”. The strategic priorities to achieve Pernod Ricard’s goal are to: develop a Culture where safety is at the heart of Convivialité; develop leadership through engagement, motivation and empowerment; improve business performance through excellence in Health & Safety. This policy has been approved by Pernod Ricard’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and its Executive Committee. It has been presented to the Board of Directors. The Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Sustainability & Responsibility oversees the implementation of the Group’s Health & Safety Policy. Affiliate Vice Presidents, and each Management Director at local level are in charge of implementing the Pernod Ricard Global Health & Safety Policy. ACTION PLANS AND NEXT STEPS Achieving this goal requires management systems. In that respect, the Group’s production sites are required to be OHSAS 18001/ISO 45001 certified. In addition, Pernod Ricard is also committed to and actively works on a health & safety culture in which everyone is involved in taking care of each other through a culture of interdependence. To drive this change, audits conducted by a third party focusing on safety culture and performance are being rolled out across the major production sites. Each audit results in an assessment of the maturity of the site, and in action plan aiming at reaching the next level on the maturity scale.

Another key action launched in FY21 is the Pernod Ricard training programme “Care by Learning”, where more than a hundred Safety Champions from affiliates have been trained in order to become the new trainers for the local teams and roll-out the new safety culture. In terms of high-risk activity, a strong focus was put in FY21 on material handling equipment, that can cause a risk of collision for pedestrians. All affiliates have implemented prevention measures following an assessment of their local practices. A new Operating Requirement “Key Health & Safety Principles” has been implemented during FY21. All the non-industrial affiliates performed a gap analysis and must complete their mitigation action plans by the end of FY21, in order to meet all minimum requirements. In FY22 the implementation of the roadmap will be accelerated with the roll-out of a new IT platform to manage safety incidents across the whole Group, the extension of the safety culture audits and with the global cascade of the Care by Learning programme to local teams. A Safety Leadership Programme will be developed and rolled out across the group in FY22, aimed at raising the level of H&S culture through engagement, motivation, and empowerment. Note: all these actions are covering both Pernod Ricard employees as well as the contractors under direct supervision. As a result of this global effort, the accident frequency rate was reduced by 32% over the last financial year, a significant achievement in line with the Health & Safety Roadmap objective.

Employees with interim, fixed-term and permanent contracts. (1) Frequency rate = number of non-fatal workplace accidents with lost time × 1000/total number of employee and interim staff expressed in full time equivalent. (2) Severity rate = number of days of absence for workplace accident × 1000/total number of employees and interim staff expressed in full time equivalent. (3) A change of formula occurred in FY21 for the calculation of severity & frequency rates, this to follow a more commonly used method and ease the reading of these indicators. From being based on the total number of hours in the year, these ratios are now based on the full time equivalent from both employees & interim population. To ensure consistency, the ratios for FY20 have been updated using the new formulas. Human Rights 3.3.2.4 Operating in over 73 countries and mindful of the new challenges caused by globalisation, Pernod Ricard values its employees, suppliers and communities. It also recognises that it is its responsibility and ethical duty to ensure Human Rights are respected across the Group’s global operations and value chain. This implies adhering to internationally recognised standards and addressing gaps.
