Responsib’ALL Day 2022

Article 05/07/2022

Bringing good times from a good place is at the heart of everything we do at Pernod Ricard, and that’s why we’re committed to nurturing every terroir and its biodiversity and responding to the challenges of climate change.

We are incredibly grateful to each of our team members across South Africa for stepping away from their desks to make our 10th Responsib’ALL Day on 15 June 2022 so impactful. Not only was it a fun day out of the office with great team building activities,  but it was also a day with purpose: everyone played a part in protecting and restoring the Earth's most precious resource: nature.

Employees were bee-aming with excitement after a Bee&Bee hotel-making workshop, and hopefully, their hotels will make or have already made great homes for local bees looking to nest. These remarkable little insects ensure that plant communities stay healthy and productive.

The fresh and nutritious portable vegetable garden boxes made by the teams across the country have been donated to local communities, who will continue to nurture them and enjoy the healthy goodness they offer.

The team also worked with an eco-brick expert to create bricks made from two-litre plastic bottles packed tightly with non-biodegradable waste. This eco-building material is solid enough to be used for all sorts of community projects, helps keep plastic out of the ecosystem, and can be reused making it an infinite resource!

The teams also spent some time learning more about re-using and re-purposing everyday items, and put on an imaginative ‘trashion’ show that displayed their innovative thinking.
