Sustainability & Responsibility The four pillars of the Good Times from a Good Place roadmap

The Group thus intends to gradually move away from conventional models to reduce pressure on resources (1) and promote regenerative agricultural models. The terroirs will thereby be more resilient to climate change and farming communities will see a sustainable improvement in their livelihoods.

In FY20, Pernod Ricard rolled out its Sustainable Agriculture Key Principles throughout the Group. This document guides all affiliates with a set of best practices related to landscape management, biodiversity, plant health and soil life, water, Human Rights and relations with suppliers. This document covers all the various contexts and agricultural systems as part of a continuous improvement process.

Pernod Ricard’s agricultural footprint 3.3.1.2 Pernod Ricard produces and sources more than 120 natural ingredients from around 70 countries. Each ingredient is grown in a terroir with unique climate conditions, soil type, ecosystems and the know-how specific to its people and local communities.
