Ahead of International Women's Day, we spoke to CARE International UK and our own Amanda Smith, head of Community Impact, about their research in Tanzania that explored the impacts of climate change on women smallholder farmers. In the rural areas of the country, 98% of women engage in agriculture as an economic activity - but many lack the right skills and resources to mitigate against climate change. Leadership training, farming skills and climate-smart practices were provided, strengthening supply chains and improving community income and resilience.

Two of Diageo’s key global executives are to take on new responsibilities within the company. After four years as Diageo India Managing Director and CEO of USL, Hina Nagarajan is to take on the role of President of our Africa business. Prior to her successful period leading Diageo India, Hina’s first role in Diageo from 2018 onwards was as Managing Director of Africa Emerging Markets. Dayalan Nayager, President of Diageo Africa since July 2022, will become President of Diageo Europe, taking over from John Kennedy. Dayalan will retain his Diageo-wide responsibilities as Chief Commercial Officer. Over the last 12 years, Dayalan has led several Diageo businesses in Europe, including Great Britain, Ireland and France, and also ran Diageo’s Global Travel retail business. We want to express our thanks to John Kennedy for his strong stewardship of the Europe business on an interim basis since January 2024. John completed his 30-year tenure at Diageo in 2023 and was a member of the Diageo Executive team for ten of those years. Congratulations to both Hina and Dayalan, who will take up their new roles on 1 April 2025.

Last week, we presented at the CONSUMER ANALYST GROUP OF NEW YORK (#CAGNY) 2025 conference in Orlando, Florida.

Key messages of our presentation were: ➡️ We are a market leader with a portfolio of iconic category leading brands. ➡️ Industry fundamentals are attractive with a long runway for spirits growth. Importantly, we believe near-term industry pressure is cyclical, not structural. ➡️ We are making progress on our Growth Ambition. ➡️ We are capturing the growth opportunity in North America. ➡️ We have reshaped our focus to deliver sustainable growth, strengthening and increasing agility. In the evening, we showcased our portfolio of world-class brands and brought ‘cocktail culture’ to life with a drinks reception hosted by Debra, Nik, Sally and our North American leadership team.
