Diageo to relocate its global headquarters  

DIAGEO has announced the relocation of its global headquarters from its current building in Park Royal, NW10, to a new central London site, 16 Great Marlborough Street, W1.

The spirits company will bring together all 900 employees across its London-based operations to the new site by the Spring of 2021 when the current lease in Park Royal ends.


Besides the headquarters and a Customer Collaboration Centre in NW10, Diageo has offices at Golden Square and St James’s Street in the capital.

The move will reduce its combined 200,000 square feet of office space to a 105,000 square foot building.

“We are excited to be bringing our people together at last under one roof and closer to our consumers,” said Mairéad Nayager, chief human resources officer at Diageo.

“Our new headquarters will provide the most inclusive of working environments for all of our people and enable us to retain and attract the best talent in the future.”

The company said the new headquarters will include an immersive customer collaboration centre and brand experience. A dedicated retail centre will also be open to the public at the new site, enabling consumers to purchase the company’s brands.

Nike, Superdry and Lacoste face ad ban in UK over 'misleading' sustainability claims

Highlights

  • Three major fashion retailers used terms like 'sustainable' without providing evidence.
  • ASA rules environmental claims must be clear and supported by high level of substantiation.
  • Brands told to ensure future environmental claims are backed by proof.
Advertisements from Nike, Superdry and Lacoste have been banned in the UK for misleading consumers about the environmental sustainability of their products, the Advertising Standards Authority has ruled.

The watchdog found that paid-for Google advertisements run by all three retailers used terms such as "sustainable", "sustainable materials" and "sustainable style" without providing evidence to support their green claims.

Nike's advertisement, promoting tennis polo shirts, referred to "sustainable materials". The sportswear giant argued the promotion was "framed in general terms" and that consumers would understand it as referring to some, but not all, products offered.
