Sustainability&Responsibility OUR ROADMAP

Our 2030 Sustainability andResponsibility (S&R) roadmap, ‘ GoodTimes froma Good Place, ’ is integrated into all PernodRicard activities, fromgrain to glass. It is a key business driver and is proving an important lever to accelerate transformation, by driving innovation, building purposeful brands, attracting talents and bringing to life our vision of amore convivial world.

extensive consultation and collaboration be- tween teams, external partners and experts, and is supported by multidisciplinary pro- jects, most often carried out with the help of local or international organisations. We know that by sharing knowledge, challenging each other and trialling solutions together, we can learnand improve.We alsohave a strongS&R governance inplacewhichwas reinforcedthis year with the creation of a dedicated Board Committee on S&R, led by our Independent LeadDirector. Our S&R roadmap is instru- mental in addressing consumer needs and material risks facing the Group today such as climate change and biodiversity loss. But everything is moving very quickly, so we need to continue to be agile and challenge ourselves to reach our targets even sooner. This year for example, we accelerated our carbon reduction targets with a commit- ment to reaching net zero in scopes 1 & 2 by 2030at the latest and in scope 3by 2050. Our work on future scenarios has helped con- firm that our strategy addresses all the key risks and opportunities facing the Group, including securing our supply chain (espe- cially raw agricultural materials), advancing circularity, ensuring the local relevance of our S&R roadmap and strengthening our preventive actions against the harmful use of alcohol.

OUR S&R ROADMAPWAS LAUNCHED IN 2019, WHAT PROGRESS HAVE WE MADE SINCE THEN? More than just progress, we’ve seen a real acceleration in all four of our key pillars thanks to the drive and commitment of everyone at Pernod Ricard. We’ve met all of our 2020 environmental targets for CO 2 reduction, water consumption and waste disposal, and we’ve launched a number of initiatives to build a more inclusive culture and promote responsible consumption. The new global Diversity & Inclusion roadmap ‘Livewithout labels’ andourpartnershipwith UNITAR (1) to educate drivers about the risks of drinking and driving are two good examples of this. Our S&R roadmap has been instrumental in responding to major environmental and social shifts and focus- ing the business onwhatmattersmost to our consumers and other stakeholders. V.W.
