Pernod Ricard

Pernod Ricard is one of the world's two leading wines and spirits groups, producing and marketing a portfolio of 240 premium brands sold in more than 160 countries. Founded in 1975 from two family-owned French companies - Pernod, established in 1805, and Ricard, created in 1932 - the group employs 19,480 people worldwide. Its portfolio includes Absolut Vodka, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Chivas Regal, Martell Cognac and The Glenlivet.

The group's operations span spirits and wine production, distilling, viticulture and terroir stewardship. Its footprint includes distilleries in Scotland, vineyards in New Zealand and its origins in France. Technical work also covers circular production - described as running from grain to glass - and responsible sourcing, alongside the group's 2030 sustainability roadmap, "Good Times from a Good Place".

Pernod Ricard frames its purpose around "convivialité", or authentic human connection and shared celebration, and states that it creates "the moments that matter" rather than simply making spirits. The group describes a workplace culture in which employees grow, innovate and thrive together, and commits to operating responsibly and sustainably across its brands and markets.
