ESG
Spirit of Progress
Spirit of Progress is our ongoing ESG action plan. It focuses on the biggest environmental and social opportunities and risks we face, across four priority areas: promoting positive drinking, championing inclusion and diversity, pioneering grain-to-glass sustainability, and doing business the right way.
Promote
positive drinking
One of the ways we educate people on the dangers of underage drinking is through our supported education programme, SMASHED. We aim to reach 10 million young people, parents and teachers by 2030.

Helping our smallholder farmers tackle the impacts of climate change and gender inequality
This year, the UN’s theme for International Women’s Day is: ‘For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.’ Ahead of the day, we spoke to the CEO of CARE International – a humanitarian agency – Helen McEachern, and Diageo’s Head of Community Impact, Amanda Smith, about their latest case study in Tanzania. The research explores the impacts of climate change on gender inequality, and here they share how tackling the issues in tandem can deliver better outcomes for both business growth and community resilience.
Pioneer grain-to-glass sustainability
We're building a supply chain that helps our communities adapt to climate change and strengthens our business for the long term. We're focusing on water and carbon, where we can make the biggest difference.
Driving water security in Mexico and Türkiye
Water is fundamental to Diageo; without it, we simply can't make our products or operate as a business. Our strategy, Preserve Water for Life, is aimed at mitigating this risk and improving the resilience of our water basins and communities.
