Our strategy

Creating sustainable and consistent quality growth is at the heart of our ambition to be ‘one of the best performing’. It means delivering consistent net sales and margin growth as well as top-tier shareholder returns.

Everyday efficiency creates the fuel that allows us to invest smartly and sustain quality growth. At its heart, everyday efficiency is a mindset and a culture, which everyone in Diageo is encouraged to bring to life in their daily work.

We are investing in the future success of our business – but that investment needs to be ‘smart’ to support the delivery of consistent performance and enable sustainable, quality growth.

We are determined to change the way the world drinks for the better. We will promote moderation and continue to reduce the harmful use of alcohol. As we reach more people with our programmes, we will change attitudes and tackle binge drinking, underage drinking and drink driving.

We believe that everybody should be able to thrive in an environment that values their contribution and celebrates what makes them unique. Across Diageo, we champion inclusion and diversity, from how we attract, recruit and develop our teams, to representation in our supply chain, and the ways we portray the richness of society across our brands.

The climate is in crisis. We must increase our efforts to preserve water for life, accelerate to a low-carbon world and become sustainable by design – helping to create a better future for communities everywhere.
