Diageo is one of a small number of companies that achieved double ‘A’ status in today’s CDP lists.

CDP's annual A list recognises the world's most pioneering companies leading on environmental transparency and performance.

We are delighted to again be recognised on the Climate and Water A lists, as a global leader in climate transparency and action and sustainable water management.

“It’s fantastic to have achieved Double A status for both climate change and water in the internationally recognised CDP A Lists. We recognise the water and climate crises affecting communities, cities, and companies around the world and are working to be part of the solution though our ambitious ten-year sustainability action plan, Spirit of Progress. This plan will enable us to use 30% less water in every drink we make, and become carbon neutral by 2030.” - Ewan Andrew, Global Supply and Procurement and Chief Sustainability Officer

Taking the lead on environmental transparency and action is one of the most important steps businesses can make, and is even more impressive in this challenging year marked by COVID-19…Our A List celebrates those companies who are preparing themselves to excel in the economy of the future by taking action today." - Paul Simpson, CEO of CDP
