Circular packaging and distribution 3.3.3.4 The environmental impact of the Group’s activities begins with product, packaging & point of sale material design and continues throughout the life cycle. The packaging and point of sale material development phases represent a key means of minimising waste and reducing the Group’s environmental footprint. For this reason, Pernod Ricard adopts eco-design principles when designing new packaging and point of sale material and ensures it can be used

sustainably. It also participates in local packaging collection and recycling schemes to address packaging end-of-life. Pernod Ricard aims to be recognised as a pioneer in the definition of industry standards relating to the circularity of packaging and point of sale material. With this in mind, Pernod Ricard became a partner of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a key step towards increased circularity, during FY22.

2030 S&R Roadmap PACKAGING

PACKAGING

In line with the plan

From 2022: 100% of new projects developed will comply with the directives on sustainable packaging and point of sale material. By 2025: 100% of packaging will be reusable, recyclable or compostable. By 2025: post-consumer recycled content for glass will reach 50% and 25% for PET and 100% of cardboard will be certified to standards ensuring sustainable forest management. By 2030: the Group will pilot five R&D projects on circular distribution of Wine and Spirits. By 2030: initiatives will be launched to support recycling in 10 key markets. Since 2021: 100% of single-use plastic point of sale materials are banned. By 2025: 100% of point of sale material spend will be reusable, recyclable or compostable. POINT OF SALE MATERIAL

During FY22, the Group began rolling out the “EcoPack” tool to assess compliance with internal sustainable packaging guidelines.

This tool will make it possible to measure the percentage of recyclable packaging.

PET post-consumer recycled content is estimated at 17% (SASB) . 47% of cardboard is certified to standards ensuring sustainable forest management. For glass, the communication of recycled content requires additional work planned for 2022/23. This year, the Group launched a circular pilot project in the Asia on-trade with ecoSPIRITS (Hong Kong and Singapore). The selected markets (1) explore local projects and partnerships to improve glass recycling.
