Pernod Ricard Nigeria Commits To Environmental Preservation

Pernod Ricard Nigeria said it is committed to environmental preservation by advocating a shift towards better waste management in the country.

To this end, the company who is a member of the Pernod Ricard Group, celebrates this year’s World Clean-up Day themed ‘Make Room For Life’ in collaboration with ‘Let’s Do It Nigeria,’ authorised representative for World Clean-up Day in Nigeria.

World Clean-up Day is an annual global social action programme aimed at combating the global waste problem and advocating a shift towards better waste management. Last year, over 2,800 tons of waste were collected across 28 states by 26,000 plus volunteers in partnership with Let’s Do It Nigeria.

The clean-up operation, it said, strongly aligns with Pernod Ricard’s Sustainability and Responsibility Roadmap for 2030, specifically under the Circular Making pillar and represents an enduring commitment to environmental sustainability, ensuring a healthy future for Nigerians and global societies alike.

As a socially responsible organisation and through its sustainability roadmap, Pernod Ricard has planted over 6,000 trees across Nigeria, eliminated single-use plastics, reduced her environmental impact through reusable and recyclable packaging, unboxing some of its brands, Jameson Irish Whisky, Chivas Regal and Imperial Blue Whisky by doing away with single bottle cartons to reduce waste, while applying five key principles : Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Respect to its operations.
