“Developing Spiced Gold 0.0 was always going to be an exciting but challenging project. Producing a great-tasting, alcohol-free alternative to a product as popular as Captain Morgan Spiced Gold is not as simple as removing alcohol from the production process. It takes months of research and development, and in this case, more than 400 recipes to get it right! To succeed, we knew our commitment to innovation would be tested, but this is where the power of our diverse colleagues comes in. We have seen first-hand with Captain Morgan Spiced Gold 0.0% the power of diversity; every one of my colleagues is encouraged to be themselves and I think this allows them to thrive and ultimately succeed as a team. Inclusivity is our magic ingredient, helping us blend ideas and redefine the future.”
“Our team is one of the most inclusive and diverse teams I have had the pleasure of working in. It’s not unknown that the STEM industry, particularly roles in science, is male dominated, however, at Woodside, our R&D teams have a wonderful blend of individuals, who are encouraged and valued to bring the best version of themselves everyday, regardless of gender, age, background, sexuality, and ethnicity. For many companies, it would be rare to have two women in myself and Amanda lead on such an important product like Captain Morgan Spiced Gold 0.0%, but that’s not how it is here. From the female whisky entrepreneurs of the eighteenth century to the appointment of our first female Johnnie Walker Master Blender in 2021, women have always shaped the success of Diageo, which is something I am inspired by today.”
