Elimination of forced labour and effective 3.4.3.4 abolition of child labour As in its fight against discrimination, Pernod Ricard is committed through the United Nations Global Compact to eliminating forced or compulsory labour and to abolishing child labour. The Pernod Ricard Charter sets out the Group’s commitments for compliance with the International Labour Organization standards. Pernod Ricard also asks its suppliers and subcontractors to respect these principles.

With regard to disability, Group affiliates comply with local legal requirements, where applicable. Efforts are being made each year to improve the integration of disabled workers and empower teams in this area. In FY18, 19 affiliates carried out work to adapt their premises for disabled people and 19 affiliates invested in appropriate equipment. 17 Group affiliates conducted disability training and/or awareness actions for their employees.
