The first pilot programs will begin in Kenya and Uganda. If successful, Diageo plans to expand these technologies across its supply chain in Africa, making agriculture more resilient and productive in other regions.
Diageo’s commitment to sustainability
This initiative aligns with Diageo’s broader sustainability efforts, with the company launching 14 pilot projects through its DSS program over the past four years. One notable success was partnering with EXXERGY and Ardagh Group to develop a glass coating that allows glass to be thinned without compromising strength.
This innovation has reduced emissions in the manufacturing process and minimized resource consumption.
Diageo’s continued commitment to sustainability reflects our strategy of collaborating with pioneers in a variety of sectors. Its aim is to help companies minimize their environmental impact and increase their profitability through innovative and environmentally friendly solutions.
Share sustainable skills and knowledge
As climate change continues to impact agriculture, particularly in vulnerable regions like sub-Saharan Africa, Diageo’s work shows how global companies can play a transformative role in sustainable development.
By investing in technology that directly benefits local farmers, Diageo protects supply chain stability and contributes to the resilience and prosperity of farming communities.
