Whistle-blower system 3.4.2.3 Pernod Ricard encourages a culture of trust, openness and transparency, where all employees can raise genuine concerns in confidence. The Group’s Code of Business Conduct advocates a Speak-up policy. This calls on all employees to report any ethical concern. This may relate to a practice or situation deemed to be contrary to or inconsistent with the Code, associated policies or any laws or regulations. Pernod Ricard Ethics & Compliance team operates a Group-wide system: Speak-Up. It allows stakeholders wishing to report potential misconduct to do so in a safe and confidential manner. Hosted by a third party, it is available 24/7. Reports that are deemed to have been filed in good faith are investigated following a preliminary assessment by the Integrity Committee (1) .

If the allegations are deemed to be substantiated, the Integrity Committee or its local delegate examines their severity and provides recommendations on the appropriate mitigation and/or remediation measures and/or disciplinary sanctions against the wrongdoer(s). Pernod Ricard has a zero-tolerance policy towards retaliation against anyone who has reported an allegation or supported an investigation in good faith. Pernod Ricard conducted dedicated workshops with Human Resources Directors and with the legal and compliance network to manage whistleblowing cases and conduct investigations. The Group also runs global communications campaigns to increase awareness and improve employee understanding on what can be reported and how alerts are being processed.

This is comprised of the following Group-level functions: Legal, Internal Audit, HR and Security, plus any functional expert as required on a case-by-case basis. (1)
