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.

On March 12, 2021, United Kingdom’s (UK) Digital Secretary Oliver Dowden announced the UK’s forthcoming National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Strategy as he set out his Ten Tech Priorities. The Strategy, which is due to be published later this year, will seek to establish the UK as a global centre for the development, commercialisation and adoption of responsible AI.
Focusing on AI appears to be one of the priorities for the UK government. According to the Global AI Index developed by Tortoise Media (reportedly the first index to benchmark nations on their level of investment, innovation and implementation of AI), the UK is ranked third, after the United States and China. In 2020, UK firms that were adopting or creating AI-based technologies received £1.78 billion (approx. US$2.45 billion) in funding, according to the CEO of Tech Nation, a UK-government backed initiative assisting tech companies.
But what Faculty lies behind the plans for adoption and economic expansion?

The UK s AI Council could not have picked a worse week to launch its roadmap. As the world s media was understandably obsessing with the US panto-cum-insurrection season, who would highlight its attempt to put this island nation, newly unshackled from the EU, on a path to a 10 per cent GDP boost from AI by 2030?
Observers might have hoisted a few red flags when they looked at who is behind the body, charged with providing independent input to the UK s AI strategy, expected to come from the Office for Artificial Intelligence (a joint unit between the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport).
