GOING FURTHER AND DEEPENING OUR COMMITMENTS TO DIVERSITY AND GENDER PARITY IN THE GROUP


Cultivating and nurturing diversity in our community

At Rémy Cointreau, we are committed to increasing diversity and making sure our governance is the example to follow. Rémy Cointreau’s target is for women to make up 40% of the Executive Committee by 2025 and 50% before 2030. This target goes hand-in-hand with our bold vision of scoring 90/100 on the gender equality index in France by 2025 and 85/100 on the global index by 2030. Rémy Cointreau is currently at 84/100 on this equality index in France, up one point from the prior year’s score.

Also by 2030, the Group intends to prioritise placing social and cultural diversity at the heart of policy to form even more multicultural teams and develop programmes at all levels - at head office, in our Houses and markets - to celebrate diversity and strengthen our position as a leader in creating positive impact. In the United States, the Group set up a Diversity Council to define an ad hoc programme and promote diversity and inclusion both in and outside the Group.

It also created three internal communities to advance diversity and bring our American staff on board: "Oui are one" (cultural diversity), Women in Spirits (to promote women) and the Parents & Families alliance. On the other side of the world, the South-East Asia region kicked off #BreakTheBias, a programme to share information about bias in the workplace and identify opportunities for improvement.

Turning to disability, the Group performed an assessment at its French sites and is currently working on recruitment programmes in addition to other ongoing actions. All of the Group’s houses share this commitment to inclusion. For example, the House of Rémy Martin helped create "Handiwe", an initiative to connect employers in the region with disabled talent.

Rémy Cointreau’s target is for women to make up 40% of the Executive Committee by 2025 and 50% before 2030.
