Valuing People

People are at the heart of everything we do at Pernod Ricard and the foundation of our collective spirit as Créateurs de Convivialité.

What we are doing

With over 120 nationalities across 70 countries, we want our workplace to reflect the richness or our society, marketplace and communities. We are committed to creating a convivial, safe and fair workplace where everyone feels valued, respected and is given the opportunity to grow.

We take a holistic approach to health, safety and well-being, recognising that physical and mental health are crucial for our colleagues and partners to thrive. Through clear standards, risk assessments and prevention measures, we aim to eliminate accidents and foster a safe, supportive environment for all.

Beyond our workplace, we are committed to sharing our knowledge and to working with our partners to create shared values in our value chain, ensuring our activities are safe, respectful and responsible.
