Pernod Ricard India (PRI) through its foundation has reached over 5 lakh people across 13 states and three Union Territories through community programmes spanning water stewardship, agriculture, and livelihoods, according to the company.

A media statement said that at the core of these efforts is the company’s Water, Agriculture and Livelihoods (WAL) programme. This programme focuses on improving water availability, enabling climate-resilient farming, and enhancing rural incomes in water-stressed regions.

The initiative supports 22,430 farmers, with the adoption of regenerative agricultural practices and efficient irrigation systems leading to a 15-20 per cent increase in crop yields and an 18-22 per cent reduction in input costs, it said.

PRI has replenished more than 3.3 times the water used across its operations through large-scale groundwater recharge initiatives. Since 2019, the company has developed 2,410 groundwater recharge structures, creating a cumulative water recharge potential of over 3,339 million litres, it said. In 2024-25 alone, these interventions generated more than 630 million litres of water potential, benefiting over 20,000 community members across 28 villages in eight states.

The statement said that 98 per cent of energy requirements across the company’s distilleries are met through renewable sources such as biomass, while all production sites and offices operate on 100 per cent renewable electricity under its global RE100 commitment.
