Diageo Celebrates International Women's Day to Accelerate Gender Equality in the Workplace and Beyond
Speaking in the film,
Diageo is releasing a further film today interviewing Matt Der Sarkissian , Head of Commercial Finance at Diageo Australia, who shares his story of working flexibly to balance his responsibilities as a father with his career. The film follows Diageo's announcement, in 2019, that it has launched a new global family leave policy. The policy sets a global minimum standard for paternity leave, and in many markets fully equalises family leave so that everyone, regardless of gender, sexuality or birth circumstances, can take six months fully paid family leave.
For the second year running Diageo is partnering with Creative Equals to support programmes in London , New York and Mumbai that will help 100 women to return to work in the creative industries following a career break. The London programme will launch this week and run over International Women's Day with 35 women participating.
The International Women's Day celebrations build on Diageo's globally recognised work to champion inclusion and diversity. Over the past twelve months, Diageo has been ranked as the top company globally for gender equality by Equileap; as the second most diverse and inclusive workplace by Refinitiv, and recognised in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index. 44% of Diageo's Board and around 40% of Diageo's Executive Committee are women and the business is working towards targets for its global senior leadership team to be 40% female by 2025.
Diageo is also committed to supporting women throughout its value chains, from grain to glass. Through women's empowerment programmes, Diageo has supported over 400,000 women through initiatives such as hospitality skills training and supporting female entrepreneurs.
