Role Dimensions
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'.
