At Beam Suntory, we embrace and actively foster a Diverse & Inclusive workplace. People will always be our no.1 priority. Every individual should have an equal opportunity to achieve their potential and to contribute to our business success. We want everyone to have a sense of belonging and feel respected, heard and valued. The diversity of our people makes us as strong and unique as our portfolio of brands and Diversity & Inclusion will remain a guiding principle in?how we conduct business every single day.
We have defined Beam Suntory Behaviors which act as our guiding principles to achieve our Vision and Mission statement along with our performance objectives.
The behaviors are as follows:
Honor our Legacy “Honor the legacy and spirit of our founders by consistently acting with the utmost responsibility and integrity in all you do. Apply a continuous improvement, or “Kaizen” mindset, and advance new ideas to improve quality, reduce complexity, and enhance the way we work.”
Build our future “Demonstrate a tenacious Yatte Minahare spirit and adopt a Gemba mindset - going to the center of action or “the real place” where work is being done and value is being created - to create new sources of value and deliver a premium experience to consumers, customers and colleagues. Balance short-term objectives with long-term goals.”
Put we over me “Cooperate with colleagues across all areas, act based on what’s best for the collective good, and be accountable for the impact your behaviours, actions and decisions have on others. Show appreciation for others’ contribution to our joint success.”
Be Inclusive “Seek to understand differences in thought, experience, and culture and leverage that diversity to enhance the quality of relationships and business outcomes for the long term.”?
In our effort to build a diverse workforce we create diverse interview panels comprising of at least one woman to enhance effectiveness of hiring decisions. As a part of our sourcing efforts a diverse candidate slate is presented to the hiring managers. We have also started recruiting from campuses to increase our diversity ratios. As a part of our onboarding tour we train all our employees on appropriate workplace behavior to sensitize them around voicing up their opinions while respecting everyone else’s opinions and how to leverage diversity of thought. They are also made aware of ways to voice concerns around harassment/discrimination/bullying etc. so they feel empowered and can bring their whole selves to work.
We are also guided by ambitious D&I goals and programs which are set at a global and regional level. This agenda is promoted and supported by a dedicated D&I function, led by global CDIO, Victoria Russell, and a number of Employee Impact Groups around the world, including an International D&I team:
Goal 1: An Inclusive Culture: Integration of different?cultures/ages/gender/sexual?orientation/disability as?measured by annual?Global?D&I survey
Goal 2: Aiming for 50% of our leaders to be women by 2025 in the International region, and by 2030 globally, and to achieve 45 percent ethnically diverse population in the US
Goal 3: All Leaders must include a D&I goal in their annual goal plan, and show tangible results to improve inclusivity* As measured by annual Employee D&I survey?
Goal 4: Meaningful measurement on everyone’s HOW objectives *New Beam Suntory behaviours
Goal 5: Year-on-Year D&I improvement
Proof Positive:
Proof Positive is our enterprise-wide sustainability strategy which sets several ambitious, measurable goals for 2030 and beyond across a range of areas. It demonstrates our long-term commitment to living our values and actively contributing to a more sustainable, equitable future.
With quality brands that start with the blessings of nature, we will give back more to the environment than we use, investing to reduce our footprint in water, the climate, our forests, packaging, and more. We will further elevate our fundamental commitment to responsible consumption and reducing harmful drinking by giving consumers tools to make positive choices for their personal wellbeing and impact on others.
We will foster a more inclusive and equitable culture, while working to increase gender, racial and ethnic representation across our business, and volunteer our time to positively impact society and the environment.
