Diageo India is among the country’s leading beverage alcohol companies with an outstanding collection of premium brands.
At Diageo India, we believe that diversity of perspectives and experience drives growth and innovation. This belief is embedded in how we operate, the partners we work with, and the suppliers we choose. Fostering a diverse supplier base is essential to gaining agility, accessing fresh ideas, achieving better cost efficiencies, and accelerating both product and process innovation.
Our ambition is to accelerate inclusion & diversity in our value chain by increasing our spend with diverse-owned and disadvantaged businesses each year until 2030. We expand the impact of our program by encouraging our suppliers and agency partners to utilize diverse-owned and operated suppliers in their own supply chains and embed their own supplier diversity programs within their supply chains. We champion inclusion and diversity across the entire value chain and collaborate with suppliers to create opportunities that promote broader industry transformation. A diverse supplier is defined as a business that is at least 51% owned and operated by individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups, including women, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ communities, ethnic minorities, and other marginalized populations. By championing equal employee representation with our suppliers, we lead change across our industry and ensure the economic empowerment of diverse groups.
We recognise that diverse suppliers often deliver greater agility and innovation, while reflecting the diverse consumers who enjoy our brands. By advancing representation and equity not just within our organisation but across our ecosystem of partners and suppliers, we aim to unlock long-term business value and foster inclusive growth.
