5. Corporate Social Responsibility

Helping employees become the actors of their growth

Rémy Cointreau hires talented individuals eager to make a long-term commitment. Operating in three continents, the Group offers a great variety of jobs and international mobility enabling each person to grow in step according to their desires and personal life. The Group’s jobs reflect its products: highly diverse, often complex, and with strong added value. Mobility is strongly advocated as a way to encourage employees to enhance their skills. Like the Group for which they work, talented individuals are encouraged to show boldness and ambition in their career choices. To guarantee equal opportunities across all regions, an international policy has been introduced. The aim is to multiply the origins and cultures of our co-workers, whether in France or abroad.

In 2018, Rémy Cointreau joined the “World is a village” platform. This initiative organises international travel opportunities for our employees’ children, who can stay with other Group employees. As such, it provides each family with an opportunity to discover new cultures and build relationships with their peers all over the world.

As part of a sustainable, future-oriented management approach, Rémy Cointreau develops its relationship with each employee in the long term. The example comes from the top: in Cognac, St. Lucy, Barbados, the Isle of Islay, Angers or Kifissia, the Group’s Cellar Masters cultivate unique expertise, passed on from generation to generation. This expertise drives each Group employee, motivated by the same goal: continuing to create products of exception.

Multiple professions enhance each other and new skills are formed, in particular in the field of digital technology. The Group offers external digital technology training sessions to all employees eager to learn about the subject.

Creating sustainable management means planning for changes in the future. In early 2019, the marketing of Louis XIII connected decanters required the talent and creativity of the iconic brand's employees to implement this innovative technology. Equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) electronic chips, these decanters can identify and connect clients to the Louis XIII Society*, a private club whose members benefit from exclusive content, unique experiences and customised services.

Acting for gender equality

Rémy Cointreau regularly demonstrates its commitment to social issues through company agreements, in particular regarding gender equality. In France, human resources teams combat gender discrimination in a very practical way with an equality policy applicable to compensation, mobility and recruitment. Non-discrimination indicators have been established in France to monitor any pay gaps. Rémy Cointreau has always focused on expertise, creativity and intelligence as criteria for distinction. The teams responsible for recruitment select the best talent, driven by the passion of the brands’ universe to continue to create products of exception.
