Diageo is reducing its emissions by innovating in its packaging. It is trying to introduce circular economy in the traditional glass bottles. The company is also trying to use new types of material: aluminum and paper. At the same time, Diageo faces climate risks. Agricultural commodities and water are the inputs to manufacturing your favour beverages. In response, Diageo is supporting regenerative agriculture and water conservation projects.

Innovation involves working thoughtfully with partners (start-ups and non-profits). It also involves crucially a high tolerance of failure. Mark Sandys is the Chief Innovation Officer at Diageo, the British multinational alcohol beverage company.
