4. Corporate Social Responsibility

Guaranteeing non - discrimination and gender equality

With goodwill, humanity and discretion, the Group’s human resources teams support each employee with their career path and strive to protect the most vulnerable of them. Taking practical action against gender discrimination, the Group has adopted the gender wage equality index to foster an equality policy in terms of remuneration, mobility and recruitment.

To promote respect and authentic human relationships, this year Rémy Martin hired four workers with disabilities in its bottling lines. Their work environment was adapted to ensure safe and efficient work.

The Group also draws its abundant cultural and ethnic diversity from its various countries of operation. Accordingly, the teams responsible for recruitment strive to establish a diverse pool of talent, all passionate about the brands and whose expertise, creativity and intelligence enhance the Group’s multicultural identity and the flavors of its products.

Promoting local employment

Wherever the Group operates, it undertakes to recruit locally and support local employment. In 2018 , research conducted by Mount Gay on its societal impact confirmed the importance of its activity for the development of Barbados, in terms of employment and wealth creation: the distillery supports a total of 475 direct and indirect jobs on the island. 

As for Bruichladdich, the brand collaborates with 85 inhabitants of Islay and 18 people work on-site. The distillery is the second-largest manufacturer on the Scottish island and the largest private employer.
