Across the world, our people come together through Business and Employee Resource Groups (BRGs and ERGs). These groups represent different viewpoints, experiences and communities. They create a sense of belonging, spark new ideas and make our workplace better for everyone.

They also help our people grow. Whether you're a leader today or building towards it, these groups are a great way to develop skills in communication, leadership, team building and project management. You'll build relationships across the business and learn from people with different perspectives.

Every group has allies across the company who support and champion their work. Because inclusion works best when we're all part of it.

Hear from our Employee Resource Groups that are driving change

Around the world, we support a variety of business and employee resource groups. These range from our growing women's networks to our African, Asian and Hispanic heritage groups and LGBTQIA+ networks. We believe everyone has a vital contribution to make to our story and we want all our people to feel part of it.
Watch a few of our group leaders sharing what makes them proud.

Every year our people come together to celebrate inclusion with a dedicated week. Known amongst the Diageo community as INC week, the ambition of this week is to unite and showcase the intersectionality of our employees with a range of topics, covering mindfulness, mental wellbeing, Black History Month, trans-inclusion and much more.

Last year we held the very first Champion of Inclusion awards to celebrate the wonderful work our resource and inclusion groups drive locally in to support our inclusive culture. The inaugural awards had over 300 nominations recognising 200 unique individuals, teams and initiatives across 28 countries and all regions.
