09 Mar 2021 International Women’s Day 2021 (IWD) is an opportunity to reflect on the progress both Diageo and society have made towards improving gender equality. But the unprecedented challenges of the last twelve months should be a reminder to us all that progress is never guaranteed.
Now, more than ever, we must be resilient and ‘Choose to Challenge’ in order to drive true change.
I am proud that even in the most challenging of global circumstances, Diageo can rightly celebrate the progress we have made in this past year.

Emily Robotham discovers.
For many who work in wine, lockdown has provided an unsought moment of reflection that has led to important conversations about the opportunities available to women working in the industry, and the intersection between gender, race and new technologies.
In October 2020, a collection of private messages edited to look like a newsletter from an anonymous source using the alias ‘wineb tch’ circulated on Twitter, the provocative contents of which caused offense to many members of the trade, not least those who were targeted in the posts.
