We operate in a dynamic and rapidly evolving regulatory environment with compliance pressures that are increasing at pace and scale. The regulatory risk landscape has significantly shifted over the last few years, presenting both challenges and opportunities for our Business Integrity function now, next and beyond. Diageo’s Spirit of Integrity is foundational to the delivery of our Growth Ambition to be one of the best performing, most trusted and respected consumer products companies in the world. Reputation and trust take time and investment to build - yet can be lost in an instant. We expect all employees to uphold ethical standards, foster an inclusive culture and protect the company's reputation. Leaders play a significant role in cultivating a culture of integrity and protecting our license to operate. It is a personal responsibility that cannot be delegated.
