Diageo's Learning for Life program, celebrating its 15th anniversary, has empowered over 200,000 individuals globally since 2008. In the Dominican Republic, more than 8,000 participants have been trained in hospitality, bartending, mixology, and waiting services. Notably, 99% of Dominican graduates secure internships post-training, with over 80% obtaining permanent employment. Reflecting on this milestone, María Gabriela Mabo, Head of Corporate Relations at Diageo, remarked, "It is a great source of pride for us to see that a considerable percentage of our graduates are active in the labor market, developing their talent, improving their quality of life, and contributing to the country's productivity.

Diageo's 'Spirit of Progress' plan focuses on three priorities: promoting positive drinking, championing inclusion and diversity, and pioneering grain-to-glass sustainability. The plan includes 12 ambitious targets to be achieved by 2030, such as becoming net-zero in direct operations and increasing recycled content in packaging to 60%. CEO Ivan Menezes stated, "This new, ambitious action plan will challenge us even further to deliver more over the critical decade to 2030."

Diageo's ESG Governance and Reporting Centre underscores the company's dedication to transparent disclosure of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters. This transparency is pivotal in managing ESG risks, capitalizing on opportunities, and fostering sustainable development across all operational areas. The centre provides comprehensive insights into Diageo's ESG strategies, performance metrics, and reporting methodologies, aligning with global standards to ensure stakeholders are well-informed about the company's commitments and progress.

Diageo's inclusive communities approach ensures that 50% of beneficiaries are women, aiming to enhance diversity and inclusion across their community programs. These initiatives support local communities by fostering growth, reducing barriers to success, and providing equal opportunities. This commitment reflects Diageo's belief that "diversity fuels growth and innovation."

Diageo's 'Investing in Water, Empowering Women' initiative addresses gender inequalities by improving access to clean water. Women and girls collectively spend over 200 million hours daily collecting water, hindering education and economic opportunities. Diageo's projects ensure women's equal participation in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) initiatives, empowering them within their communities. As Diageo emphasizes, investing in water can "unlock the potential of many impoverished communities and in particular address the gender inequalities."
