Diageo’s Economic Impact in Europe
Diageo commissioned Oxford Economics to produce an assessment of its economic impact across Europe in 2022. This illustrated the company’s large economic footprint, which supported a significant number of jobs throughout its value chain.
Diageo is a global leader in premium drinks. Amongst its more than 200 brands are some of the most recognisable drinks in the world, including Johnnie Walker, Smirnoff, Tanqueray, and Guinness. One in every 20 alcoholic beverages sold globally is a Diageo product.
This report analyses Diageo’s economic footprint in Europe, its historical home, where many of its brands originated and Diageo itself was formed in 1997. It found that Diageo’s ‘grain to gate’ operations supported a €10.5 billion contribution to EU27+ GDP, 84,500 full time jobs, and €6.1 billion in tax revenue.
