Water stewardship and regenerative agriculture with Diageo’s Michael Alexander | S7 Ep.1
Description
In this first episode of the season we’re joined by Michael Alexander, head of environment for Diageo, the British multinational alcoholic beverage company.
You would have heard of some of its world-famous brands including the stout, Guinness, Johnnie Walker whisky, Smirnoff vodka and Captain Morgan rum.
The organisation has developed a 10-year action plan called Society 2030 – Spirit of Progress. This includes the ambition to replenish more water than is uses across operations in 100% of water-stress areas by 2026.
In this episode, Michael kickstarts the season and discusses what regenerative agriculture means to Diageo, provides a reality check on industry “collective action” ambitions and also some thoughts on navigating the myriad of standards when it comes to water stewardship.
