In July 2005 Pernod received Quality Safety Environment (QSE) certification from the French Quality Assurance Association (AFAQ).
This is the guarantee that Pernod complies with standards ISO 9001 at Créteil and ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environment) and OHSAS 18001 (Health and Safety at Work) throughout its industrial sites at Marseille, Thuir and Cubzac.

These certifications are proof of Pernod's sustainable commitment to improving its effectiveness in terms of quality, customer satisfaction, protection of the environment and the safety of its staff.

A continuing approach

Certification does not constitute an end in itself, nor is it irrevocable. Pernod's approach to improvement has been unremitting since certification; In addition to complying with environmental and safety regulations, Pernod specifically focuses on the quality and presentation of its products, the health and safety of its staff and the satisfaction of its customers.

responsibility for the environment

Within the framework of its QSE approach, Pernod has placed the conservation of resources and respect for the environment at the heart of its priorities. It has access to the best technology available, improving energy output, advocating recycling and preventing or limiting as far as possible the production of waste and pollution and their impact on the environment. Over three years, Pernod has reduced its water consumption by 23% and its energy consumption by 11%, and has increased its rate of recycling ordinary waste (glass, cardboard, plastic) by 10%.
