Our ESG governance​

We have structures in place to ensure we successfully implement our Spirit of Progress plan and support our teams in manufacturing units and office across India. We have established a robust governance structure to ensure effective oversight, accountability, and execution of our ESG commitments. The framework integrates ESG into strategic decision-making and operational performance across all levels of the organization.

At Diageo India, ESG governance is structured through a multi-tiered framework. The Board and Board-led CSR & ESG Committee provide strategic oversight on ESG strategy, risks, and disclosures, ensuring alignment with regulatory and stakeholder expectations. The Executive Committee, led by the MD & CEO, is accountable for delivering ESG goals across the business and integrates ESG into core operations and decision-making, while reporting key developments to the Board. The Chief Supply & Sustainability Officer (CSSO) and Corporate Relations Director (CRD) jointly lead the execution of the ESG strategy, with responsibilities spanning environmental performance, stakeholder engagement, and external advocacy. The Diageo India Leadership Team (DILT) operationalizes ESG priorities across functions and regions, tracking performance and reporting quarterly to the Executive Committee. Lastly, all employees, suppliers, and contractors are expected to uphold ESG policy standards, participate in relevant initiatives, and proactively report any risks or non-compliance through established channels.
