Press release – 21 April 2022
Already a signatory of the New Plastics Economy Global
Commitment since 2018, Pernod Ricard (Paris:RI) announced today,
eve of Earth Day, that it is becoming a partner of the Ellen
MacArthur Foundation. This move demonstrates the Group’s commitment
to accelerating the transition to a circular economy by working
with the Foundation’s leading network of businesses, policymakers,
academia, innovators, and thought leaders worldwide.
Pernod Ricard is committed to minimising waste at every step by
designing, producing and distributing its products and experiences
in ways that optimise and help preserve natural resources. As part
of its 2030 Sustainability & Responsibility roadmap ‘Good Times
from a Good Place', the Group has set itself strong targets which
have seen great progress in recent months.
Ensuring 100% of its packaging and POS is recyclable,
reusable or compostable by 2025.
To drive innovation throughout the Group, Pernod Ricard has
developed Global Sustainable Packaging and POS Guidelines for its
70 affiliates, which specify what materials can no longer be used
and how they can be replaced. In 2021, Pernod Ricard successfully
eliminated all single-use plastic from all its promotional products
four years ahead of schedule, while its iconic brands Beefeater and
Ballantine’s removed plastic from the caps and/or labels of their
bottles.
Piloting five new circular ways of distributing wine &
spirits by 2030.
The Group is also working to reduce and eventually eliminate
waste and carbon emissions by piloting new distribution models. In
March 2022, Pernod Ricard Asia joined a closed-loop distribution
pilot aimed at reducing waste and carbon emissions in bars in Hong
Kong and Singapore, in partnership with ecoSPIRITS. Absolut,
Beefeater and Havana Club will now be shipped in bulk and delivered
to the bars in 4.5-litre glass containers - ecoTOTES - which once
empty will be sent back to the ecoPLANT to be refilled.
Vanessa Wright, Chief Sustainability Officer of Pernod Ricard,
“We are committed to minimising waste at every step and reducing
our carbon footprint, in line with a Net Zero trajectory by 2050.
True to our vision ‘Créateurs de Convivialité’, we believe in
working with others to strengthen what we do collectively. That’s
why we are delighted to be partners of the Ellen MacArthur
Foundation and we look forward to building strong collaborations
with its network of experts to accelerate the transition towards a
circular economy.”
