In 2020 he launched a new 10-year sustainability action plan titled ‘Society 2030: Spirit of Progress’.
The plan laid out goals including increasing the representation of ethnic minorities in leadership positions to 45% by 2030, as well as increasing the percentage of Diageo suppliers from female and minority-owned businesses year-on-year.
2020 also saw the roll-out of a new learning intervention ‘Confronting Racial Bias Learning’, and the opening of Diageo’s fourth global ‘INC’ week; an employee-led, grassroots movement encouraging employees around the world to celebrate diversity.
The cavalry against the coronavirus arrived this week in the form of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.

“It feels like such a momentous moment,” Ranney said minutes after getting her shot. “This is the true light at the end of the tunnel. There is no better way to prevent disease than a vaccination. But, for it to really transform what we’re going through, we’re going to need everyone to get it.”
