The French wine and spirits group signed, on January 7, a European CSR agreement with EFFAT, the European trade union federation. Covering of a lot of themes – 24 pages with commitments on the environment, governance, responsible consumption, respect of customers and consumers and development of local cultures –, it is also precise on HR issues such as the working environment, skills management, the introduction of foreplanning for all employees or even the anticipation of change. Non-European companies and/or companies that are or not 100% owned by Pernod Ricard are encouraged to join.
This European CSR agreement signed with the EFFAT was developed together with the EWC, which will also be involved in implementation as it will receive an annual report on application of the agreement. This text aims to apply to all of the group’s subsidiaries within the EU; they will have to gradually extend it after they formally join – i.e. when their general managers formally sign. Pernod Ricard shall encourage all non-European companies and/or all companies that are or not 100% owned by Pernod Ricard to formally enter the agreement and gradually enforce it – following their own modalities and timetable.
