CSR Women Empowerment Event
MHD Moet Hennessy Diageo K.K. held a Women Empowerment Event online on Wednesday September 16, 2020, as part of its CSR activities.
【Background】
Since 2017, MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo K.K. has continuously supported social contribution initiatives such as social gastronomy, art for the disabled, and disaster relief, and from 2020, with the aim of further empowering diversity, we launched our activities from the perspective of Women Leadership and Women Empowerment. Japan lags behind other countries in the Gender Gap Index, ranking 121st* out of 153 countries, and this is an activity that we should focus on even when compared with other countries in the Moët Hennessy Group.
*The Global Gender Gap Index 2020 rankings
【Outline of the event】
Ms. Miku Hirano, winner of the New Generation Award at Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award 2019, was invited to speak on the theme of "Women's Social Advancement: Changes in Family and Work due to Advances in Digitalization and AI (Artificial Intelligence)".
Ms. Hirano, a female entrepreneur, engineer, and mother of two, spoke about the future of work and women's careers, and answered questions from the audience in an interactive talk event. She also spoke frankly about the differences in leadership style between men and women, the differences in communication methods between Japan and other countries, and the challenges and failures of being a female entrepreneur. Her message to the male employees at the end of his talk was also very true.
Originally scheduled to be held in March to coincide with International Women's Day, the event was postponed to the above schedule (September) and was now held online.
MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo K.K. will continue to focus on activities that support women's leadership and careers, gender equality and diversity inclusion for a sustainable future.

■ドン ペリニヨン 醸造最高責任者 ヴァンサン・シャプロンのコメント
「ドン ペリニヨンと洗練された美食は、互いにインスピレーションを与え合い、高め合う関係です。庄司夏子シェフとは2年前からご一緒していますが、ドン ペリニョンへの愛があり、唯一無二の個性が あり、芸術性があり、クリエイティビティがあり、それでいてとても人間味があります。また次世代への継承についても熟考され様々な人とのコミュニケーションを行う姿勢が印象的です。これからぜひご一緒させていただけることを心より楽しみにしています」
■ été 庄司夏子シェフのコメント
「ドン ペリニヨンというシャンパーニュは、私にとって特別な存在です。“時間の芸術”と称されるように、短期的な流行に左右されることなく、長期的な視点でシャンパーニュ造りに向き合い、その唯一無二の テイストを今日まで守り続けています。さらに、その味わいの奥には、今もわずか1%ほど、修道士ドン・ピエール・ペリニヨンが1668年から手がけた畑のブドウが使われており、オリジンが確かに息づいて います。まさに、彼のDNAを継承したアートピースだと感じています。ご一緒できることを、心より 光栄に思います 」
