Job Description :

Diageo is the world’s leading premium drinks company with an outstanding collection of brands, such as Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Baileys, Captain Morgan, Tanqueray and Guinness. With over 200 brands in 180 countries and a global network of entrepreneurial individuals, our teams blend a diverse range of experience, knowledge and skills. We connect customers and consumers to our iconic products and create innovative experiences that bring people together to celebrate life. 

Role Dimensions

The Business Integrity Programme is an internal element of Diageo’s overall governance and risk management activity. The programme is focused on bringing to life our overall performance ambition and must also meet, at a minimum, the best practice standards benchmarked against UK, US and local legislation. This includes maintaining and embedding our Code of Business Conduct (the Code) and an appropriate framework of policies and standards that support the Code; developing appropriate principles-based engagement and ensuring delivery of training to support the application of the Code and policies; investigating and responding to potential breaches of the Code and policies; assessing how to minimise compliance risks; and ensuring employees are aware of and feel comfortable using our whistleblowing channels.

Ethical behaviour (‘doing business the right way from grain to glass’) is increasingly synonymous with a company’s overall sustainability, which makes it a crucial component of corporate governance. A breakdown or reduction in focus on this component could have serious legal, financial and/or reputational consequences for Diageo. You will act as business partner to the head of the business unit or function and its executive team to help them own, drive and handle their accountabilities related to ‘doing business in the right way’. You will act as second line of defense to your market, overseeing risk indicators and potential red flags; looking for insights and root causes for breaches; as well as advising on and coordinating interventions to mitigate risks.
