International Women’s Day Event
In order to create a sustainable society, MHD has also launched the DE&I Employee Network to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the company; with the aim of creating a workplace where employees can work freely and openly for a healthier organization. MHD Moët Hennessy Diageo has been continuously working on sustainability and CSR initiatives (disaster relief, social gastronomy, art for the disabled, etc.). In light of the current situation in Japan, which ranks 121st out of 153 countries in the Gender Gap Index*, we have been working relentlessly on Women Empowerment and Women Leadership activities since 2020, with diversity in society as our primary focus.
*The Global Gender Gap Index 2020 rankings
As a first step to encourage awareness and reformation within the company, the DE&I Employee Network held the first event, “International Women's Day Lecture & Workshop" was held on March 8-10, 2021
The keynote speaker and facilitator was Ms. Masako Ikehara, entrepreneur and CEO of MANABICIA Corporation, which operates the “Mentor For” program.
Women Empowerment supporting organization such as Lean In – Tokyo; whom was represented by Ms. Chiaki Ishihara (March 8, in English) and Ms. Yuki Kojo (March 10, in Japanese), were invited to participate in the panel discussion, which MHD is collaborating with as a CSR.
Through lectures, panel discussions, and workshops, the participants were able to understand the various "Unconscious Biases" that everyone has. Additionally, the biases that are hindering the success of their own lives and careers as well as those of others, furthermore the change in their mindset to see the difference between "I understand" and "I can do it". It was a crucial, yet valuable step for all employees to share the awareness that overcoming the unconscious bias will lead to success in their own lives and the lives of others. The inclusion of the difficulties in a men's life as a topic on International Women's Day was a bold but necessary step that helped everyone take the first step toward understanding and accepting each other's differences.
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 」
