Regulatory News:
On 16 June, all Pernod Ricard (Paris:RI) employees from around
the world will dedicate a whole day to learning, sharing, and
having a positive and meaningful impact in their communities. First
launched in 2011, Responsib’All Day is one day in the year
dedicated to its Sustainability & Responsibility 2030 roadmap
‘Good Times from a Good Place’, and to having a real impact in the
community. This year, the focus is on helping to protect and
restore nature and biodiversity, in line with Pernod Ricard’s
commitment to nurturing terroirs.
True to its vision, ‘Créateurs de Convivialité’, Pernod Ricard
believes in sharing and working with others to strengthen what we
do collectively. That’s why, all its affiliates are teaming with
local partners and charities to learn from them and work on a wide
variety of community projects. From planting trees in natural
conservation areas and renovating green urban spaces, to collecting
waste from beaches and rivers, the 2022 edition of Responsib’All
Day aims to help employees understand the importance of nature
around them while contributing to tangible projects near their
offices and production sites in order to protect it.
Alexandre Ricard, the Group’s Chairman and CEO said: “Our
company mission is to unlock the magic of human connection by
bringing good times from a good place. Responsib’All Day is a
perfect demonstration of how we bring this to life with our
employees around the world. After two years of not being able to
host Responsib’All Day, we are delighted to be able to roll up our
sleeves and get back into our communities, to play our part in a
true spirit of convivialité. We all have a role to play in building
a more sustainable and responsible world.”
“Throughout the pandemic, we have continued to accelerate our
Sustainability and Responsibility roadmap to nurture every terroir
and its biodiversity. All our products come from nature, and we
rely on well-functioning ecosystems to continue to produce our
iconic brands now and for generations to come. That’s why we have
been working hand in hand with our farmers and suppliers to
implement sustainable and regenerative practices in our terroirs.
Responsib’All Day is a way of ensuring that our employees
understand the importance of preserving nature for our business and
for the communities around them,” adds Vanessa Wright, Group Chief
Sustainability Officer.

the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and
