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

Pernod Ricard uses environmental management systems to address environmental priorities and implement tangible actions across the business. Environmental management systems are built around the following principles: the Headquarters’ Sustainable Performance Division oversees and coordinates measures at Group level by: setting shared goals, monitoring performance, circulating guidelines with minimum requirements, and sharing best practices. Each Brand Company is required to evaluate its performance against these requirements annually. Where necessary, compliance action plans must be implemented; Pernod Ricard’s activities, both for the Brand Companies and the Market Companies, must comply with the environmental requirements outlined in the Group’s environmental guidelines: affiliates are accountable for complying with local legal requirements. They must also report any local incidents or non-compliance to Headquarters, affiliates are accountable for assessing their long-term risks. They must thus identify ways of reducing their own environmental impact and apply the Group’s policy locally; major production sites are required to be ISO 14001 certified. In FY22, 92.0% of production sites were ISO 14001 certified (covering 99.6% of production); Group employees and administrative sites are required to satisfy the “S&R Office” guidelines regarding different topics such as green offices, governance, energy, water, waste and business travel. This year, seven environmental incidents were reported to local authorities. Two complaints were received from third parties. This includes all possible potential impacts from an industrial site. This year, they were all related to spillage or leakage events, either of alcohol or oil affecting waters. A root cause analysis was conducted for all these events and corrective action plans drawn up. Operational procedures are in place to prevent and control various forms of spillage, and limit their impact on the environment. Climate change: reduction 3.3.3.2 and adaptation Alignment with TCFD recommendations Pernod Ricard generates carbon emissions in a range of ways. These contribute to climate change: directly, through the use of fossil fuels on sites (Scope 1) and consumption of electricity that generates greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 2); indirectly, through the products (agricultural raw materials, packaging, etc.) and services (transport, etc.) purchased (Scope 3).

The free e-learning course is available to all adults of legal-drinking age (1) . It is available in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, Polish, Turkish and Mandarin. In FY20, a toolkit was shared on how to run training sessions online or in-person on the key principles of the BWOT. This is aimed at guiding S&R leaders, brand ambassadors and/or advocacy colleagues to train bar owners and bartenders. All training sessions are reported to local S&R leaders to report back the number of attendees to HQ. In addition, several tools were

created to share with participants: trash collective cocktail recipes; a detailed checklist for the BWOT; a responsible serving cheat sheet; and a “badge” of completion.

In two years, the Group has already achieved more than half of its target to train 10,000 bartenders by 2030. This is the result of a large-scale roll-out of the programme and the efforts of affiliates to train bars, hotels and other partners. Thanks to the improvement of the health situation, the Group has been able to massively expand face-to-face training in FY22, and promote e-learning, resulting in a total of 6,383 bartenders trained since the launch of the BWOT. In FY23, the Group will complement the training module with a self-assessment tool to generate a list of recommended actions for bar owners.

3.3.3

Circular making

The world’s finite resources are under huge pressure. Pernod Ricard is committed to minimising waste at every step by imagining, producing and distributing products and experiences in ways that optimise and help preserve natural resources. The traditional single-use consumption model has now reached its limits. New circular models must emerge to protect the planet and natural resources. Circularity is one of the Group’s key priorities. To become more circular, Pernod

Ricard is committed to moving its business towards a circular making model that fosters reduction, reuse and recycling. Such a shift will see fewer resources consumed, less waste generated and ultimately reduce Pernod Ricard’s environmental impact. Environmental management 3.3.3.1 Pernod Ricard strives to implement strong environmental management systems throughout the business. They are the cornerstones of the Group’ strategy, helping it to:

tackle long-term environmental risks; reduce its environmental impact; and seize opportunities at every level.

Environmental management systems are designed to disseminate the Group’s environmental standards throughout the business and embed environmental considerations into its management practices. This helps manage risks and create a more circular business.

It is hosted on EdApp and UNITAR’s (United Nations Institute for Training and Research) EducateAll platform. (1)
