We have recently redefined our ambition and strategy and are crafting a future for our business where we lead the Total Beverage Alcohol category to become the most dynamic and fastest growing category in the Global Travel, while accelerating Diageo to become the number one partner for our customers, through luxury brand building underpinned by our scale. We will do this by reaching more travellers, converting more of them to purchase both in store and online and thirdly increasing the value of their spend.
