Diageo : North America recognized for prioritizing sustainability in its supply chain strategy

Commitment to sustainability

Diageo is a business that has long been committed to sustainability, delivering strong performance across its environmental targets to 2020 - this includes a 50% absolute reduction of the carbon emissions associated with its operations since 2008. Through its 'Society 2030: Spirit of Progress' action plan, Diageo is now working to reach net-zero carbon across its direct operations by 2030, harnessing 100% renewable energy, and using 30% less water in every drink it makes, among other actions.

In North America, Diageo opened its first carbon neutral distillery in the U.S. in Lebanon, Kentucky and announced plans to transition its Valleyfield site in Quebec, Canada to become carbon neutral by 2025.

The transparency and efforts on the company's global sustainability commitments have placed Diageo among leading companies in the following lists:

• Diageo has been included in CDP's A list for both climate change and water security over the last six years. In 2021 the company was also recognized as a CDP supplier engagement leader.
• Diageo was recognized in the Dow Jones World Sustainability Index 2020 for fourth consecutive year.
• Diageo ranked in Gartner Inc.'s 2021 "Supply Chain Top 25".
