At Diageo Ireland, our people are our greatest asset, no more so than when we come together to build an inclusive working culture for our colleagues. This inclusive culture is driven by Geraldine Joanes and our incredible People and Culture team, through our five purpose-driven Employee Resource Groups (ERGs): 🧠 PRISM: Champions neuro-inclusion and encourages a positive voice for disruptive change in the workplace. 👯♀️Spirited Women: Creates an environment for women to excel, celebrate our success and work to bring our members’ ambition to life. 🧘 The Wellbeing Warriors: Supports employees with the tools and resources needed to manage their physical, mental, social and financial wellbeing. 🤝 REACH: Committed to driving and supporting our race, ethnicity and culture agenda. 🌈 Stout, Out & Co: Dedicated LGBTQIA+ support resource for employees, committed to creating the most inclusive, diverse, and equitable culture. These groups play a pivotal role in shaping our culture by providing a platform where every voice can be heard, ideas can flourish, and collective action can be taken. Their work ensures people feel heard seen and acknowledged in their workplace. Such is their impact, the Diageo Ireland ERG groups were recent runners up in the Winning Through Collaboration category at the annual Diageo Champions of Inclusion Awards. They were recognised for their exceptional work throughout INC (inclusion) week in showcasing the power of innovative, impactful, and intersectional moments that matter. Take some time to hear from members of our fantastic ERGs, who are the driving force behind so much of the inclusive working culture we have at Diageo Ireland👇 Geraldine Joanes Louise Carson Jennifer Gleeson Charitini Ntini Colleen Henderson Shaun Mc Gowan Rachel Maher Komal Kalakoti #DiageoIreland #ERGLeadership #VoicesofERG #ERGSpotlight #DiversityAndInclusion #InclusiveWorkplace #BelongingAtWork

The latest Drinks Ireland - Ibec Beer Market Report paints a picture of a dynamic and evolving industry, particularly when it comes to non-alc - and we’re glad to be shaping part of that movement. Some of the notable takeaways of today's report are; 📈 Non-alcoholic beer sales grew by 25% last year, with production rising by 77% - a clear signal of growing demand for more mindful choices. 📊 Non-alcoholic beer now accounts for over 2.5% of the total beer market - a 150% increase in market share over five years. 📉 Per capita alcohol consumption in Ireland has declined by nearly 3% in the past year and is now down 34% over the past two decades, which highlights a significant and ongoing shift in consumer behaviour. At Diageo Ireland, we’re committed to innovation, consumer choice, and premium quality - shaping the future of beer for every kind of occasion. This transformation is especially evident in Ireland’s rural pubs, where Guinness 0.0 and our growing non-alcoholic portfolio is enabling more inclusive social experiences, all without compromising on taste. As consumer preferences continue to evolve, we remain focused on delivering exceptional quality and choice, ensuring there’s an option for every occasion.

The excellence of Ireland’s Holstein Friesian dairy herds was masterfully on display this week as breeders from across the country attended the Virginia Agricultural Show in Co. Cavan, where the Diageo Baileys Champion Dairy Cow Competition took place. Live since 1983 and fondly known as ‘the Baileys’, every year this competition showcases the quality behind Baileys signature ingredient, Irish dairy cream - and underpins the commitment, care and investment that Irish dairy farmers put into their herds throughout the year. This year was no different with head judge Giuseppe Beltramino awarding breeders from Wexford (Philip and Linda Jones) and Armagh (Joel and Clive Richardson) the 2025 top prize, with their jointly owned 6-year-old Holstein Friesian cow, Annaghmore Fitz Atlee. As sponsors of the competition and alongside our cream supplier Tirlán, we were glad to welcome Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Martin Heydon T.D to present the Baileys Champion Cow Trophy - highlighting the importance of the competition, and the vital role Irish farming families play in sustaining our rural communities and Ireland's world-renowned dairy sector. 🎥 Snapshot below of the 2025 Baileys Champion Dairy Cow Competition - thank you to all the excellent entrants this year, and congratulations to the worthy winners!
