NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Diageo North
America, a global leader in beverage alcohol, received a 2019
Supply & Demand Chain Executive Green Supply Chain
Award. Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine covers
the entire end-to-end global supply chain across vertical
markets.
This year's 10th-annual awards recognize small, mid-size and
large enterprises that leveraged green practices and solutions to
further drive sustainable improvements in their supply chain.
"For Diageo it's a priority to operate in a responsible and
sustainable way every day, to protect and preserve natural
resources and support our communities across our value chain, from
grain to glass," said Pietro Di
Pilato, Technical & Governance Senior Vice President,
Diageo North America. "It's a privilege to receive this award for
the third year in a row, acknowledging Diageo's progress in
achieving our sustainability goals."
The Green Supply Chain Award recognizes companies making green
or sustainability a core part of their supply chain strategy and
are working to achieve measurable sustainability goals within their
own operations and supply chains. The awards also recognize
providers of supply chain solutions and services assisting their
customers in achieving measurable sustainability goals.
"Every year our Green Supply Chain Award recipients demonstrate
what is achievable in supply chain sustainability," says
John R. Yuva, editor for Supply
& Demand Chain Executive. "It is clear that while
sustainability is not a new concept, there is always more we can
accomplish."
The 2019 Supply & Demand Chain Executive Green
Supply Chain Award follows global recognitions to the company's
efforts to minimize our environmental impact across our operations,
and efforts to extend environmental standards throughout our supply
chain.
- In 2019 CDP published the full list of companies included on
their A Lists, scoring Diageo with an A for both climate change and
water. As well as being one of only three beverage companies to
achieve Double A, Diageo was the only alcohol beverage company to
retain its Double A status year on year.
- Diageo improved its position and ranked 12th in
Gartner Inc.'s 2019 "Supply Chain Top 25". The ranking recognized
Diageo's approach to a customer-driven supply chain – the company
also received a perfect score for Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR), which includes "environmentally responsible" supply chain
practices.
- Diageo was recognized in the Dow Jones World Sustainability
Index and was named as one of the most sustainable companies from
across 61 industries and the only global alcohol beverage company
to feature in the World Index.
"We extend our congratulations to this year's award recipients
and their commitment to green initiatives," adds Yuva. "The entries
serve as best-in-class examples for other companies to model and
create value for their supply chains."
