Diageo, the world’s leading premium drinks business, publishes its 2012 Sustainability & Responsibility Report, its 10th report since 2003. The report highlights progress and aspirations across the company’s key sustainability impacts including alcohol in society, water and the environment, socio-economic development, people, and governance and ethics. To cover Diageo’s full value chain, the report has sections covering work with and impact on suppliers, customers and consumers.
At each stage of our value chain, we seek to maximise our positive impacts, creating value for our stakeholders while improving our own performance. For Diageo, the two are inextricably linked – our company’s future success depends on our ability today to contribute positively to society and the environment. We call this ‘Celebrating life, today and tomorrow.’
Commenting on this year’s report and Diageo’s future-looking approach, Paul Walsh, CEO, said: ‘Driving strong performance in sustainability and responsibility is in the long-term interests of our company. It helps ensure that we can both deliver returns to shareholders and benefit the communities whose lives we touch. It is my firm belief that the most genuinely strategic and forward looking businesses treat sustainability as a core component of business delivery.’
