SUSTAINABILITY & RESPONSIBILITY The four pillars of the Good Times from a Good Place roadmap

Human Rights 3.3.2.4 Operating in more than 73 countries and mindful of the new challenges related to globalisation, Pernod Ricard values its employees, suppliers, and communities and recognises that it is its responsibility and ethical

duty to ensure Human Rights are respected across the Group’s global operations and value chain, adhering to internationally recognised

standards and addressing any gaps that may arise.

Policies

Objectives

2030 S&R roadmap

By 2025, align with the United Nations Guiding Principles (UNGPs) on Human Rights including due — diligence across the Group’s operations and strengthening our responsible procurement processes.

Developed with numerous internal stakeholders, Pernod Ricard introduced its first Global Human Rights Policy in FY19 which is divided into three key sections: “in our own operations”, “in the supply chain” and “in our local communities”. The Pernod Ricard Code of Business Conduct, updated in FY19, now includes Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The Supplier CSR Commitment has been updated with additional commitments on this front. The Executive Vice President, Human Resources, Sustainability & Responsibility oversees the implementation of the Group’s Human Rights Policy. Human Resources Directors and each Managing Director at local level are in charge of implementing the Pernod Ricard Global Human Rights Policy. As a decentralised organisation, Pernod Ricard gives responsibility to its affiliates for the adoption, respect, and promotion of the policy. The visits to affiliates by cross-functional internal audit teams include elements of social evaluation. Managing Directors’ performance evaluations includes social as well as societal and economic aspects of performance. The targets considered are specific to each affiliate. Action plans and next steps In FY18, Pernod Ricard joined the UN Global Compact’s Decent Work in Global Supply Chains Action platform, an alliance of companies committed to respecting Human Rights and fundamental principles and

rights at work by leveraging their supply chains and taking collective action to address decent work. In FY19, a study based on the UNGPs and Human Rights was conducted on the Group’s supply chain to identify gaps and improve its due diligence on Human Rights on the long term. In FY20, to embed a UNGPs approach, Pernod Ricard will start by focusing on its own employees with the assistance of a third-part to increase awareness and in the creation of a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) for the Human Resources network across the Group. The objective of the SAQ will be to help affiliates identify gaps and appropriate action plans. The Group will also explore other areas such as capacity building and impact assessment to identify salient Human Rights issues and prioritise action along its value chain. Responsible supply chain 3.3.2.5 Due to its diversity of procurement and supplies, Pernod Ricard relies on many suppliers across its supply chain. From farming and manufacturing through distribution and merchandising, some of the Group’s impacts on society and the environment are managed by its suppliers. Pernod Ricard believes in creating strong business relationships and encourages suppliers to improve their practices and assists them in doing so.
