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

In FY23, the implementation of the roadmap will be accelerated with: the appointment of a Group Health and Safety Director, in March 2022; the extension of the reporting platform functionalities to ensure management of safety incidents across the whole Group; the extension of the safety culture audits; the completion of the “Duty of Care” e-learning programme by all Pernod Ricard employees; and the global cascade of the Care by Learning programme to local teams.

Note: all these actions cover both Pernod Ricard employees and contractors under direct supervision. As a result of this global effort, since 2019, the accident frequency rate was reduced by more than 50%. This is a significant achievement in line with the objective in the Health & Safety roadmap.

It also recognises that it has a responsibility and an ethical duty to ensure Human Rights are respected across the Group’s global operations and value chain. This means adhering to internationally recognised standards and addressing gaps.

Performance

2030 S&R Roadmap

By 2025: align with the United Nations Guiding Principles (UNGPs) on Human Rights. This includes: due diligence across the Group’s operations; and strengthening the Group's responsible procurement processes.

In progress

Objectives & Policies Developed together with numerous internal stakeholders, Pernod Ricard introduced its first Global Human Rights Policy in FY19. It is divided into three key areas: “in our own operations”; “in the supply chain”; and “in our local communities”. Since FY19, the Pernod Ricard Code of Business Conduct and the Supplier Standards have included such commitments. The Group EVP Human Resources oversees the implementation of the Group’s Human Rights Policy. HR Directors and Managing Directors at local level are responsible for implementing the Pernod Ricard Global Human Rights Policy.

As a decentralised organisation, Pernod Ricard hands responsibility for adopting, respecting and promoting the policy to its affiliates. Visits to affiliates by cross-functional internal audit teams include some labour evaluation. The performance evaluations of Managing Directors cover labour matters together with societal and financial performance. Any targets are specific to each affiliate. Action plans and next steps From FY18 to FY22, Pernod Ricard contributed to the UN Global Compact’s Decent Work in Global Supply Chains Action platform. This is an alliance of companies committed to respecting Human Rights and fundamental principles and rights at work. This involved working through their supply chains and taking collective action to address decent work.
