About Pernod Ricard
Created by the merger between Pernod and Ricard (1975), the Group has undergone sustained development, based on both organic growth and acquisitions. The purchase of part of Seagram (2001) and the acquisition of Allied Domecq (2005) have made Pernod Ricard the second largest player in the wine and spirits with industry sales of € 6.4 billion in 2006/07; it is also the leader in the “ultra premium” spirits market.
Pernod Ricard benefits from a portfolio comprising some of the most prestigious brands in the sector: Ricard aniseed, Ballantine’s, Chivas Regal and The Glenlivet Scotch whiskies, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Martell cognac, Havana Club rum, Beefeater gin, Kahlúa and Malibu liqueurs, Mumm and Perrier-Jouët champagnes, as well as Jacob’s Creek and Montana wines. On 31 March 2008, Pernod Ricard announced the acquisition of Vin & Sprit and its vodka brand Absolut.
The Group favours a decentralised organisation, with "Brand Owners" and "Distribution" companies established in each key market, and employs a workforce of around 18,000 in 70 countries. In addition, Pernod Ricard is strongly committed to a policy of Corporate Social Responsibility and encourages responsible consumption in order to prevent alcohol misuse and abuse.
