Our business is built on foundations laid by the giants of our industry. Arthur Guinness, Alexander Walker and all those that followed in their footsteps, cared deeply about the people and businesses they fostered. They were driven to create products that would last for generations, the best conditions for their people, and the best financial performance. Today, we act like those entrepreneurs, passionate about our brands, our customers and consumers, our communities, and society as a whole. Our purpose is to help our consumers celebrate life, every day, everywhere, and to do so responsibly. We give our people the freedom to do the best work of their careers. We take great pride in what we do, and in how we do it. Above all we value each other’s commitment to delivering the best.
