Diageo seeks to conduct business in accordance with the laws and regulations to which our activities are subject.
In 2002, Diageo became the first global drinks company to sign up to the nine principles of the United Nations Global Compact as a public commitment to leadership in social and environmental responsibility. A part of this commitment is to assess the impacts of our business on our communities, on society and the environment more widely.
In addition, we set out our own codes and policies, which often go further than local or national legislation. These are regularly reviewed to ensure that they continue to address the concerns of stakeholders.
