Business Integrity Manager

Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom

Diageo Ireland is the leading premium drinks business and one of the largest and best-performing food and drink exporters in Ireland. In our demand business we employ 250 people, who are part of a wider team of 1,200 highly skilled professionals across five operations, including brewing, production of liqueurs, marketing, sales, and commercial support.

For Diageo Ireland our Business Integrity Programme plays a crucial role in achieving the company's goal of being one of the best performing, most trusted and respected consumer products companies in the world. The Programme is an internal element of Diageo’s overall governance and risk management activity. The programme is focused on bringing to life our overall performance ambition and must also meet, at a minimum, the best practice standards benchmarked against UK, US, and local legislation. This includes maintaining and embedding our Code of Business Conduct (the Code) and an appropriate framework of policies and standards that support the Code; developing appropriate principles based engagement and ensuring delivery of training to support the application of the Code and policies; investigating and responding to potential breaches of the Code and policies; assessing how to minimise compliance risks; and ensuring employees are aware of and feel comfortable using our Speak Up whistleblowing channels.

Ethical behaviour (‘doing business the right way’) is increasingly synonymous with a company’s overall sustainability, which makes it an essential component of corporate governance. A breakdown or reduction in focus on this component could have serious legal, financial and/or reputational consequences for Diageo.
