Special attention was paid to the five priority SDGs (SDGs 6, 8, 12, 13 and 15), which for the past four years have been linked to the variable compensation of the Group's senior executives. The CSR Committee, which is formed from the Board of Directors and is responsible for implementing the CSR strategy, monitors this commitment.

The year's successes and events thus remind everyone of Rémy Cointreau's nature: preserving the Terroirs, committing to People and respecting the value of Time, by uniting the Group with its partners in the long term and striving to take exemplary decisions in line with its ambition: becoming the world leader in exceptional spirits.
