ESG

A fundamental part of our success is being responsible. We’ve put positive societal impact at the heart of our business strategy, through our ongoing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) action plan.

Our ESG action plan

Spirit of Progress, our ongoing ESG action plan, addresses the most significant environmental and social opportunities and risks Diageo faces. It has three priorities to promote positive drinking, champion inclusion and diversity and pioneer grain-to-glass sustainability. Doing business the right way underpins everything we do.


Promote positive drinking

Our ambition is to change the way people drink for the better. This is why we promote moderate drinking and invest in education programmes to discourage the harmful use of alcohol.

Champion Inclusion & Diversity

Championing inclusion and diversity is at the heart of what we do and is crucial to our purpose of ‘celebrating life, every day, everywhere.'

Pioneer grain-to-glass sustainability

Our ambition is to build a resilient supply chain that helps our communities to adapt to climate change, protects our licence to operate and benefits the bottom line of our business. We’re accelerating our focus on water, and working towards a low carbon future to address our most significant risks and respond to our greatest opportunities.

Doing business the right way

We are committed to doing business in the right way. This is about demonstrating integrity, living our values, and behaving in an ethical way.
