Pernod Ricard, the long-term senior debt of which is rated Baa1 (stable outlook) by Moody’s and BBB+ (stable outlook) by Standard & Poor’s, has set the terms of its new euro-denominated bond issuance for an aggregated principal amount of EUR 1.1bn across two tranches: a EUR 600m 6-Year and a EUR 500m 10-Year. The deal marks Pernod Ricard’s second Sustainability-Linked Bond. In line with its inaugural Sustainability-Linked Bond, targets of the issuance are linked to two environmental commitments: to reduce the Group’s absolute greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1&2) and to decrease the water consumption per unit at distilleries. This transaction fits within Pernod Ricard’s continued integration of sustainability actions into its daily operations and financing strategy, in-line with the Group’s Sustainability & Responsibility (S&R) Roadmap.

The Sustainability-Linked Financing Framework and the Second-Party Opinion are available at: https://www.pernod-ricard.com/en/investors/share-debt-information#debt-information-430
The net proceeds of this issuance will be used for general corporate purposes of Pernod Ricard.
