Sharing the Group’s vision and practices to further its approaches

As in previous years, members of Group management have shared working time with various professional organisations, associations and schools to spread the Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility vision and practices. Attentive to external initiatives, the Group has been a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact since 2003. The Compact gathers together 1,300 companies and non-profit organisations. Rémy Cointreau is a member of the GC Advanced Club (maximum level of reporting within the UN Global Compact), which aims to help members to commit and to assess, define, implement, measure and broadcast their social responsibility strategy. The Group has taken the lead by disseminating its vision for responsible sourcing and the management of related risks.

Committed to spreading excellence practices in inter-professional associations, the Group participates in the CSR management committee of the Bureau National Interprofessionnel du Cognac and in the environmental working group of the French Spirits Federation (FFS). In Poitou-Charentes, the Group supports the Altère association, which brings together the region's key players in sustainable development by organising CSR workshops on the subject of equality, co-existence and diversity. In the Pays de Loire region, the cradle of Rémy Martin, the Group is very active among local players and coordinates CSR efforts alongside associations like the Club Carbon’At and in training institutions, such as the CNAM Pays de la Loire, Audencia Nantes and ESEO in Angers.

Lastly, Rémy Cointreau shares its CSR vision with its distributors and answers its clients’ CSR questions by communicating its vision and the positive actions implemented worldwide by the Group and its partners for a sustainable business model that benefits everyone.
