Diageo, based in Fife, is Scotland’s major producer of spirits, including brands such as Baileys, Guinness and Smirnoff.
As part of their internal governance team day, we presented information on the environmental, economic and health benefits of sustainable transport. In particular, we highlighted the opportunities in Scotland to transport more freight by rail rather than road.

Our presentation was enthusiastically received by staff from environment, health & safety and risk management departments, generating lots of questions and discussion. We raised new ideas and awareness of the ways that Diageo can reduce its carbon footprint from transport.
