Note: Some companies are covered more than once. ------------------------------------------------------------- (1) A Look at 7 Hydrogen Energy Stocks: Trillion-Dollar Market Ignites Green Investment Boom I'm starting this podcast with an article on an energy segment that not many ethical and sustainable investors have much exposure to. Yet, it could be of interest to many. The article is titled A Look at 7 Hydrogen Energy Stocks: Trillion-Dollar Market Ignites Green Investment Boom. It's by Caroline Kong and on nai500.com. Here are some quotes. "With technological advancements and policy support, this vast market, with a potential scale of $11 trillion, is maturing at an accelerated pace. 1. Linde (LIN) has not only mastered efficient hydrogen compression and safe refueling technologies but also reduces the carbon footprint of hydrogen through carbon capture. The company's recent 100-megawatt renewable hydrogen plant project in partnership with Shell, expected to be operational by 2027, demonstrates its commitment to industrial layout. 2. Air Products (APD) is even more aggressive, currently operating over 100 hydrogen production plants worldwide with a daily capacity of 7 million kilograms. Its NEOM green hydrogen project in Saudi Arabia is 80% complete and expected to commence operation in 2027. The company is also advancing an $8 billion blue hydrogen project in Louisiana, a $3.3 billion blue hydrogen project in Canada, and a $360 million green hydrogen project in Arizona set to come online in 2026. 3. BP (BP) has positioned hydrogen energy as a key pillar of its strategy to achieve net-zero by 2050. The company plans to invest in 5-7 hydrogen and carbon capture projects globally. Its Lingen project in Germany, expected to be operational by 2027, aims to produce up to 11,000 tons of green hydrogen annually. However, BP recently canceled its HyGreen Teesside project, the UK's first planned green hydrogen project, and exited a planned project in Australia, reflecting the challenges the industry still faces on the path to commercialization. 4. Plug Power (PLUG) has deployed 72,000 fuel cell systems and operates 275 refueling stations in North America. The company is building an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem, with multiple green hydrogen production facilities expected to be operational before 2028. In October 2025, the company delivered its first 100-megawatt electrolyzer to Galp's refinery in Europe, signifying international recognition of its technology. 5. Bloom Energy (BE) stands out with its revolutionary solid oxide technology. The company's Bloom Electrolyzer is 15% to 45% more efficient than comparable products on the market, making it particularly suitable for decarbonizing energy-intensive industries like steel and chemicals. A recent collaboration with Oracle on powering data centers for AI workloads has opened up new growth avenues. The company has reported record revenue and profits for three consecutive quarters, demonstrating strong growth momentum. 6. Cummins (CMI) is deeply engaged in the hydrogen sector through its zero-emissions technology business unit, Accelera. In October 2025, the company successfully tested a prototype hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine in an intercity bus made by a Turkish-Japanese automotive joint venture, performing as well as a natural gas engine with significantly lower emissions. Simultaneously, it is supplying a 100-megawatt PEM electrolyzer for BP's project in Germany, showcasing its strength in hydrogen equipment manufacturing. 7. FuelCell Energy (FCEL) focuses on distributed baseload energy solutions, with its proprietary carbonate fuel cell and solid oxide electrolyzer technologies drawing attention. The company is developing large-scale hydrogen production systems based on solid oxide electrolyzers, targeting large manufacturing plants and data centers." End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- (2) 3 AI Infrastructure Stocks Solving the Power Crisis The second article features three stocks in an industry undergoing massive investment. The article is titled 3 AI Infrastructure Stocks Solving the Power Crisis. It's by George Budwell and found on fool.com. Here are some quotes from this article. "Artificial intelligence (AI) Hyperscalers are choosing data center locations based on power grid capacity rather than tax breaks or fiber access, and utility companies are scrambling to upgrade transmission infrastructure that wasn't designed for industrial computing loads… These three AI infrastructure plays capture unavoidable costs that scale with every new AI cluster, regardless of which chip architecture ultimately dominates. 1. Vertiv (NYSE: VRT) designs and manufactures thermal management systems, power distribution units, and turnkey modular data center halls for AI deployments… 2. Eaton (NYSE: ETN) manufactures electrical power distribution equipment, backup power systems, and control software for commercial and industrial customers, including data centers. The company's data center portfolio includes uninterruptible power supplies, power distribution units, switchgear, and busway systems that manage electricity from the utility connection down to individual server racks. 3. Quanta Services (NYSE: PWR) provides specialty contracting services for electric power, pipeline, and communications infrastructure, including the design and construction of transmission lines and substations… Recent revenue growth and a raised 2025 outlook reflect contracts tied to grid modernization projects that utility companies must complete before data centers can break ground. Quanta captures infrastructure spending that happens months or years before the first GPU gets racked, with multiyear project timelines providing visibility into revenue beyond 2026." End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- (3) Top Wind Energy Stocks to Add to Your Portfolio for Long-Term Growth Many analysts believe that, in addition to being negatively targeted by the Trump administration, this renewable energy sector has tremendous long-term potential. The article is titled Top Wind Energy Stocks to Add to Your Portfolio for Long-Term Growth. It's by Avisekh Bhattacharjee and found on finance.yahoo.com, though originally on zacks.com. The following are some quotes from the article. "The wind energy sector continues to gain traction with greater flexibility and scalability, despite a shift in the U.S. federal policy regarding offshore wind development projects. 1. Duke Energy (DUK) (DUK-PA) is a premier utility service provider offering efficient power and energy services. The Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company is currently focused on expanding its scale of operations, implementing modern technologies at its facilities as well as enhancing its renewable generation portfolio by investing heavily in infrastructure and expansion projects… The company is investing heavily in constructing generation facilities that produce reduced CO2 emissions per unit of electricity generated compared with coal. Duke Energy Corporation (DUK): Free Stock Analysis Report. 2. Dominion Energy (D) is a major energy company engaged in regulated and non-regulated electricity distribution, generation and transmission businesses… Its long-term objective is to operate more battery storage, solar, hydro and wind (offshore as well as onshore) projects by 2036 and increase the renewable energy capacity by more than 15% per year, on average, over the next 15 years. Dominion Energy Inc. (D): Free Stock Analysis Report. By 2035, the Zacks Rank #2 company is working on offshore wind projects and battery storage projects to lower emissions. 3. PG&E (PCG) operates as the parent holding company of California's largest regulated electric and gas utility, Pacific Gas and Electric Company.  The Zacks Rank #2 company's exposure in wind energy stems from the procurement of power from several renewable resources, including wind, and developing its wind farms… In the quarters ahead, PG&E's bottom line is expected to be driven by favorable decisions from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), long-term supply agreements, diversification into alternative power sources and infrastructure improvement programs, resulting in rate base growth. Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (PCG) : Free Stock Analysis Report. 4. Portland General Electric (POR) generates power primarily from wind, solar and hydropower… The Zacks Rank #2 company is poised to benefit from strong industrial load growth… To further expand its renewable portfolio, Portland General Electric plans to add a significant clean power generation asset over the long term. Portland General Electric Company (POR): Free Stock Analysis Report." End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- (4) 5 Undervalued Stocks That Are Climate Transition Leaders For investors interested in climate transition-related stocks, this article could be of interest to you. It's titled 5 Undervalued Stocks That Are Climate Transition Leaders. It's by Stephen Ellis and found on morningstar.com. Here are some quotes on each of the stocks. "Our climate transition leaders' research from Morningstar Sustainalytics aims to identify front-runners in this space… Our inaugural list of 21 climate transition leaders looks at a wide spectrum of sectors… Below, we've also identified which ones look undervalued. 1. Clorox (★★★★★) (CLX) Since its beginning more than 100 years ago, Clorox has expanded to operate in a variety of consumer products categories, including cleaning supplies, laundry care, trash bags, cat litter, charcoal, food dressings, water-filtration products, and natural personal-care products. 2. Air Liquide (★★★★) (Liquide) The company generated approximately EUR 27.1 billion of revenue in 2024, serving a wide range of industries, including chemicals, energy, healthcare, food and beverage, and electronics. 3. Sanofi (★★★★) (SAN) Sanofi develops and markets drugs with a concentration in immunology, vaccines, and rare diseases… About 45% of total revenue comes from the United States, 20% from Europe, and 6% from China. 4. Henkel AG & Co (★★★★) (HEN) Two distinct customer groups constitute Henkel. The consumer segment (around 50% of consolidated 2024 sales) is laundry and home care, including the Persil and Purex laundry detergent brands, and beauty care, including the Schwarzkopf brand in haircare and the Dial brand in hand soap. The adhesives technologies segment makes up the remaining 50% of sales. 5. Pernod Ricard SA (★★★★) (RI) Through acquisitions, the firm has grown to become the world's second-largest distiller by volume, behind Diageo. Pernod Ricard possesses the most comprehensive spirits portfolio globally, distributing over 240 brands across 160 countries.

Seattle's Westland Distillery welcomed more than a thousand people this weekend hoping to get their hands on a bottle of the distillery's first 10-year-old single malt, the 10th Anniversary Garryana. It's largely matured in Garry Oak casks from the Pacific Northwest, and this year's release is more scarce than usual - after thieves stole a semi-trailer with nearly half the year's production of Garryana last month. We'll talk with Westland master distiller Shane Armstrong and managing director Jason Moore on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, Portland's Westward Distillery has been saved by investors after filing for bankruptcy, and sales  are down again for Pernod Ricard and Moet Hennessy.

Aujourd'hui, je suis reçu par Guillaume Girard Reydet à deux pas de St Lazare au siège de Pernod Ricard. Guillaume dirige le Groupe mythique pour la France et l'Europe du Sud. On ne présente plus Pernod Ricard dont les Français ou presque ont consommé un jour les saveurs. Pernod Ricard, c'est Pernod et Ricard bien sûr, mais c'est aussi Absolut, Ballantine's, Malibu, Chivas Regal, Havana Club, Lillet, Suze et bien d'autres. Pernod Ricard, c'est un portefeuille de plus de 200 marques distribuées un peu partout dans le monde. La Groupe naît en 1975 lors de la fusion de Pernod et Ricard. Mais si vous prenez l'histoire de certaines marques, il faut remonter au Moyen-Âge pour retrouver les premières sources du Groupe. Inutile de vous dire que je suis assez heureux de vous faire découvrir l'histoire d'un groupe qui fête officiellement ses 50 ans cette année. On y apprend tant sur la manière de devenir mondial en partant d'un village du sud de la France.  Pernod Ricard vous offre des moments d'indulgence comme le dit Guillaume. Appelez-cela comme vous voulez, je crois que je lui préfère le terme de convivialité et Guillaume serait vraisemblablement d'accord avec moi. Mais ne vous y trompez pas. Pour que le consommateur puisse jouir d'un tel moment, il y a derrière un travail que l'on a peine à imaginer. Il y a aussi l'envie d'être tout simplement chaleureux. « Faites-vous un ami par jour » disait par M. Ricard.  Suivre Guillaume sur LinkedIn Si cette nouvelle interview vous a plu, parlez-en autour de vous, notez 5 ⭐ le podcast (Spotify, Deezer, ApplePodcast...) et rédigez un avis.N'hésitez pas à m'écrire sur LinkedIn ➡️ LinkedIn/MartinVidelaine et à vous abonner à notre Newsletter hebdomadaire Toutes les Histoires d'Entreprises sont également disponibles sur histoiresentreprises.com et sur le site de bluebirds.partners, site de la communauté d'indépendants que j'anime et qui conseille ou remplace des dirigeants. Un podcast co-réalisé avec Agnès GuillardHébergé par Ausha.

Comment scaler une stratégie marketing personnalisée à l'échelle mondiale - avec Pernod RicardDans cet épisode du Panier, enregistré au One to One Expérience Client 2025 à Biarritz, je reçois Pierre-Antoine de Saint-Légier, Head of Internal Creative Agency chez Pernod Ricard. Un échange passionnant sur les leviers de personnalisation à grande échelle, entre data, outils, équipes et… culture marketing.Avec plus de 240 marques (dont Absolut, Chivas, Ricard, Jameson, Havana…), réparties sur plus de 160 marchés, le groupe doit conjuguer puissance industrielle et finesse d'exécution locale. Le défi : orchestrer des campagnes personnalisées, cohérentes avec les plateformes, les données et les usages de chaque marché.3 axes clés de la stratégie Pernod Ricard :Industrialiser la personnalisation sans diluer la marquePierre-Antoine insiste sur un principe fort : chaque exécution locale doit rester fidèle à l'univers de marque. Pour y parvenir, le groupe met en place des frameworks, assets et guidelines globaux, tout en laissant de la liberté aux marchés. L'IA aide à produire vite, mais la relecture humaine reste clé pour garder la cohérence créative.Passer de la data à l'activation concrèteCollecter la donnée, c'est une chose. L'utiliser vraiment, en est une autre. Chez Pernod Ricard, la data est utilisée pour alimenter des campagnes cross-canal pilotées par un stack maison (CDP, adtech, automatisation…). Le modèle repose sur des centres de services régionaux, capables de piloter les activations pour plusieurs marques.Créer une culture du test & learn à grande échellePour Pierre-Antoine, le passage à l'échelle passe par l'expérimentation. L'équipe tech et marketing accompagne les marchés pour tester, apprendre, documenter… et diffuser les apprentissages. L'IA générative entre aussi dans cette logique, avec des premiers tests encadrés sur la production de contenu localisé.Un épisode riche en enseignements pour toutes les marques internationales (ou en voie de l'être) qui cherchent à allier structure, performance et créativité.⏱ Timecodes00:01:15 - Présentation de Pierre-Antoine et du périmètre marketing tech de Pernod Ricard00:03:20 - Comment aligner global et local dans la personnalisation00:05:45 - Organisation, gouvernance et outils00:08:10 - IA générative et cohérence de marque00:10:15 - Culture du test & learn à l'échelle du groupeHébergé par Audiomeans.

I met Steve at Cologne Bar Symposium earlier this year, which also hosted the first-ever launch of Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey outside the USA. We chatted a bit and I attended his seminar; to say Steve's life is fascinating is like saying Elon Musk is a decent engineer. From a childhood of wealth in Cambodia with servants and bodyguards, to contracting polio and losing the use of one of his legs, to years of barely subsisting in a Thai refugee camp, being sponsored to come to the US as child, graduating high school and college despite severe ADHD, founding a string of successful bars despite not knowing how to bartend or cook, bars, which led to him creating Skrewball, the world's first peanut-butter flavoured whiskey with his wife (and childhood sweetheart) Brittany in 2018 and selling it to Pernod-Ricard for a rumoured 9-figure sum in 2023 after it boomed to over 600, 000 cases by 2022, his life has not been dull. He's one of the most truly inspiring people I've ever met, relentlessly upbeat and happy, despite having had more than a lifetime's worth of slings and arrows shot his way before he was even in his teens. Enjoy!Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey on IG: https://www.instagram.com/skrewballwhiskey?igsh=MXVkOGF5a3FyMWZveQ== Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

En este episodio converso con Lala Elizondo, una mujer multifacética que ha pasado de liderar en el mundo corporativo a crear proyectos de emprendimiento e inversión con impacto.

“Sorry Sun”Saodat Ismailova, Alexandre Khondji & Hélène Yamba-GuimbiLe Nouveau Programme – première éditionà la Fondation Pernod Ricard, Parisdu 16 septembre 2025 au 31 octobre 2025Entretien avecLiberty Adrien,curatrice et critique d'art française,Directrice du département curatorial du KW Institute for Contemporary Art à Berlin, et commissaires de l'exposition,par Anne-Frédérique Fer, à Paris, 15 septembre 2025, durée 18'33,© FranceFineArt.https://francefineart.com/2025/09/30/3640_sorry-sun_fondation-pernod-ricard/Communiqué de presse Commissaire :Liberty Adrien, curatrice et critique d'art française, Directrice du département curatorial du KW Institute for Contemporary Art à BerlinSorry Sun – Liberty Adrien, Commissaire de l'expositionDans le cadre du Nouveau Programme de la Fondation Pernod Ricard, la commissaire d'exposition Liberty Adrien réunit trois artistes aux trajectoires distinctes : Saodat Ismailova, Alexandre Khondji et Hélène Yamba-Guimbi. Leurs pratiques déploient des écritures plastiques singulières, tout en partageant une attention portée à ce qui échappe : à la linéarité du récit, aux systèmes figés de représentation, aux certitudes établies. Ce choix curatorial s'inscrit dans une volonté de soutenir la pluralité des pratiques contemporaines et faire émerger des voix encore peu audibles dans le paysage institutionnel français, en tissant des résonances entre leurs regards, porteurs de récits fragmentés, de temporalités multiples et d'espaces en suspension.« Le titre de l'exposition, Sorry Sun, évoque une lumière ambivalente – entre chaleur et brûlure, clarté et obscurité, éblouissement et fatigue. C'est dans cet interstice que l'exposition prend corps. Les oeuvres présentées tracent les contours d'une cartographie sensible du désajustement, laissant affleurer les fracture du présent : l'érosion des cadres et des idéaux sociaux, le désenchantement face aux promesses d'un progrès technologiquedevenu incertain, et l'intensification de l'urgence écologique. En creux, elles révèlent aussi les persistances de croyances, de récits et de rituels populaires – fragments de mémoire à la fois personnelle et collective, et formes discrètes de résistance narrative.Le soleil devient ici la figure d'un basculement – celui d'un monde où les certitudes vacillent, à la lisière du familier et de l'insaisissable, de l'explicite et de l'ambigu. Dans l'espace d'exposition, la lumière agit comme un fil conducteur, à la fois présence sensible et principe de narration. Elle guide le regard du spectateur, glissant subtilement d'une clarté naturelle à une lumière fabriquée, révélant tour à tour les oeuvres selon leur propre logique d'apparition. L'installation spatiale d'Alexandre Khondji naît d'une recherche in situ, en résonance étroite avec l'architecture singulière de la fondation. Elle donne forme à un dispositif où l'espace même d'exposition devient matière de création. Une lumière diffuse et fragmentaire semble, quant à elle, émaner des sculptures d'Hélène Yamba- Guimbi : ses objets et photographies émergent lentement de la pénombre, comme surgis d'une mémoire enfouie. La projection du film de Saodat Ismailova prolonge cette dramaturgie lumineuse : sa narration enveloppante tisse souvenirs intimes et mémoire collective, mythes et gestes rituels, faisant affleurer les strates de l'histoire de l'Asie centrale.Conçue comme un élément de l'exposition, la publication Sorry Sun associe un ensemble de textes littéraires historiques et contemporains à trois contributions critiques, spécialement commandées pour venir éclairer les univers singuliers des artistes présenté·es. » Hébergé par Acast.

Allison Luvera and Lauren De Niro Pipher are the Co-Founders of Juliet Wine, where they're redefining boxed wine with award-winning California varietals and eco-conscious cylindrical packaging that challenges the category's decades-old perception. Allison is an award-winning brand builder with a dual BS in Finance and Marketing from Boston College, an MBA from The Wharton School, and WSET Level 2 Certification in Wine. She's also a founding member of the Alternative Packaging Alliance, a coalition of high-end boxed wine brands dedicated to advancing sustainable packaging in the wine industry. Lauren brings nearly two decades of sales, business development, investor relations, and design expertise from leading roles at Virgin Galactic, Uber, and Douglas Elliman, along with a BS in Culture & Communications from NYU and a Sustainability Certification from Cambridge University's Judge School of Business.Before launching Juliet, Allison built a career leading brand strategy, design, and storytelling for premium products, earning a reputation for transforming overlooked categories into high-value lifestyle experiences. Lauren honed her skills in building relationships, scaling sales, and translating brand vision into tangible growth. Together, they've created a brand that blends “affordable luxury” with modern consumer expectations and a design-first approach that stands apart from traditional boxed wine.In this episode, Allison and Lauren share how they spotted an opportunity to reimagine boxed wine, why they launched DTC first to prove product-market fit, and how they tested seven price points to find the sweet spot before expanding to retail. They also reveal how early customer data shaped their go-to-market strategy and helped secure high-quality retail partners who understood Juliet's unique value.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:40] Intro[01:07] Highlighting sustainability as a core advantage[01:58] Reimagining a category for modern consumers[03:46] Meeting evolving consumer demands head-on[05:21] Sourcing partners to match product vision[06:55] Reframing consumer perceptions of boxed wine[09:03] Prototyping early to speed market entry[09:20] Testing multiple price points before scaling[11:47] Episode Sponsors: Electric Eye, Heatmap, Zamp[15:44] Adjusting pricing after early market feedback[17:33] Making decisions to drive progress forward[19:21] Proving product-market fit to win distributors[20:48] Proving demand before pitching big retailers[21:10] Meeting online customers where they are [22:38] Boosting AOV with strategic bundlesResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeEco-friendly and delicious luxury boxed wine drinkjuliet.com/Follow Allison Luvera linkedin.com/in/allisonluveraFollow Lauren De Niro Pipher linkedin.com/in/iamldpSchedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectClear, real-time data built for ecommerce optimization heatmap.com/honestFully managed sales tax solution for Ecommerce brands zamp.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Me and Christian met almost twenty years ago; when I was still living in the Netherlands, my friend Robin Weiss asked me to help judge the Havana Club Germany bartender contests, and Christian was involved even back then. In the next few years we hung out at Havana Club contests in Sylt, Dusseldorf, Havana itself and several other cities I can't recall, plus of course Bar Convent Berlin, and Christian always impressed me with his ability to both hang with even the newest and most junior of competing bartenders, and still be up and supervising things  at 8am the next day. We had a chat recently at the Cologne Bar Symposium in Germany and I learned that Christian had actually created the new global advocacy program for Pernod-Ricard, SIP, so that was it: I wanted him on the podcast, to catch up with an old friend and professional colleague, and share the tea on how to get a global advocacy program off the ground. This one is GOLD - if you work in advocacy, it's a must-listen. Christian on IG: https://www.instagram.com/herr_balke/SIP on IG: https://www.instagram.com/sip_global?igsh=MWRleDRnczZ0cTdncg== Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries: consulting@liquidsolutions.org (PR friends: we're only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.

Das Glas ist halb leer – so lässt sich die aktuelle Lage des französischen Spirituosenkonzerns Pernod Ricard nüchtern zusammenfassen. Einst als zuverlässiger Dividendenzahler geschätzt, rutscht das Unternehmen zunehmend in die Defensive: Schrumpfende Absatzzahlen, stagnierende Umsätze, schwindender Cashflow. Im aktuellen Beitrag analysieren Alan Galecki und ich sowohl das Geschäftsmodell als auch Strategie sowie Perspektiven des Unternehmens – und hinterfragen kritisch, ob Anleger mit einem Hang zum liquiden Investment derzeit noch gut beraten sind.

C dans l'air l'invité du 1er août 2025 avec Marie-Christine Sonkin est rédactrice en chef Patrimoine des Echos. Ce vendredi 1er août, le taux du Livret A baisse de 2,4 % à 1,7 %. C'est la deuxième diminution de l'année pour ce placement détenu par 58 millions de Français. Une décision attendue, dans un contexte de recul de l'inflation, tombée à 0,88 % au premier semestre 2025. Si cette baisse pénalise les épargnants, elle profite en revanche aux acteurs du logement social, qui empruntent à ce taux, ainsi qu'aux banques.Dans un climat économique incertain, marqué par des tensions géopolitiques persistantes, le taux d'épargne a atteint 18,2 % au premier trimestre 2025, un record hors période Covid. L'or s'impose par ailleurs comme une valeur refuge incontournable. L'assurance-vie continue d'attirer massivement, avec 97,8 milliards d'euros versés depuis le 1er janvier, selon France Assureurs.Cette réorientation de l'épargne intervient alors que les marchés financiers vacillent. Depuis les annonces de Donald Trump lors du "Liberation Day", les Bourses européennes reculent nettement. Des géants comme LVMH ou Pernod Ricard en subissent les contrecoups. Parallèlement, le cours du bitcoin s'envole, posant un véritable dilemme aux investisseurs. Dans ce paysage instable, une question s'impose : faut-il encore miser sur le Livret A ? sur l'assurance-vie ? Quelles alternatives envisager pour protéger son épargne ?Marie-Christine Sonkin, rédactrice en chef Patrimoine aux Échos, analysera ce 1er août la baisse du taux du Livret A à 1,7 %, un recul historique pour le placement favori des Français. Elle en décryptera les impacts directs sur l'épargne des ménages.

Marc Watson took over for the retiring Gordon Motion this month after six months of serving as his understudy. The former master blender for The Famous Grouse has 11 years of industry experience, and he'll join us for one of his first interviews since his promotion on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the U-S and the European Union have hammered out a trade agreement that limits tariffs on E-U whisky exports to 15 percent. India and the United Kingdom have signed a trade agreement that will reduce India's tariffs on Scotch Whisky imports over the next decade, and Pernod Ricard is selling off some brands as it narrows its focus.

Filiberto Amati, Founder of Amati & Associates and Head of Partnerships at MAFFEO DRINKS, is a veteran of major spirits companies, including Campari and Di Saronno. He dissects the seismic "shrink for growth" transformation, reshaping the global spirits industry. Drawing from his deep FMCG expertise, Filiberto explains how spirits companies are finally adopting consolidation strategies that transformed consumer goods giants two decades ago—moving from "economies of scale" obsessions to a strategic "economies of scope" focus. As Campari divests Cinzano, Brown-Forman sells Finlandia, and Diageo sells Pampero Rum, Filiberto reveals how this isn't random portfolio shuffling but a calculated response to activist investor pressure and economic uncertainty. The conversation explores if mega-mergers are likely in the fragmented spirits industry, how mid-tier players like Gruppo Montenegro and Caffo are capitalizing on cast-off assets to build global scale, and why this inflection point will reshape competitive dynamics for the next 10-15 years.Disclaimer: All analysis is based on publicly available information.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and FMCG Context02:15 Shrink for Growth Phenomenon Explained06:30 Economies of Scale vs Scope12:45 Industry Fragmentation Reality18:20 Listed vs Private Company Dynamics23:10 Mid-Tier Consolidation Opportunities28:15 Future Industry Structure Predictions

Traditional change frameworks can only take you so far. So, let's take a page out of the marketing playbook.In this week's episode of the Only Constant, Nicolas Becquet (Transformation Senior Director, Pernod Ricard) discusses with Nellie Wartoft how borrowing from brand marketing - purpose, consistency, symbolism, and storytelling - creates the emotional engagement that makes change stick in ways only a seasoned marketer would know. ----Connect with:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nellie Wartoft⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CEO of ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tigerhall⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chair of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Executive Council for Leading Change (ECLC)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠nellie@tigerhall.com

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions, has collaborated with MIT Sloan Management Review (MIT SMR) to launch a new research series to explore the next phase of human and AI collaboration in large enterprises. As enterprises the world over are proactively investing in deploying AI-led solutions to transform their business operations, this multi-sectoral study deeply examines the new paradigms that will redefine the use of AI in global enterprise environments. In a series of research articles covering Manufacturing, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods, BFSI, Life Sciences and Healthcare, Energy, Resources and Utilities, and Communications, Media and Technology sectors, the study investigates how business leaders are deploying AI augmented solutions to gain a competitive edge from better decisions. The study on the theme of Human-Centric AI spans six key sectors and finds that generative and predictive AI can initiate a transformative change that drives competitive advantage. The year-long research that was conceptualised and executed jointly by MIT SMR and TCS drew insights experts and pioneers from organisations such as Walmart, Meta, MasterCard, and Pernod Ricard. The research identifies one critical shift: AI is moving from advisor to architect. In simple terms, AI's value shifts from improving business processes to improving the quality of options to facilitate better decision-making. Companies that master this transition are pulling ahead of those still trapped in traditional decision-making frameworks. TCS' industry expertise in strategising and supporting large global organisations in their AI-led digital transformation journeys using both generative and predictive AI along with the academic rigor of MIT SMR bring forth new and fresh thinking about using AI to augment and inform Human Intelligence. The collaborative research has revealed the emergence of intelligent choice architectures (ICAs) - a new paradigm where human-centric AI systems proactively participate in structuring and shaping strategic decisions by generating novel options, predicting outcomes, and guiding choices. Michael Schrage, Research fellow at MIT Sloan's Initiative on the Digital Economy and report coauthor, said, "ICAs flip the script. They do not just learn from decisions - they learn how to improve the environment in which decisions are made. That's not analytics, that's architecture." Ashok Krish, Head, AI Practice, TCS, said, "By augmenting human judgment with machine intelligence, ICAs shift AI from task automation to building superior decision environments for complex multi-factorial situations, enabling more trackable, traceable outcomes that ensure accountability. They help align talent development strategies with organisational goals, making it easier to identify and nurture high-potential employees in the AI-era. Ultimately, ICAs foster environments where human judgement and AI work together seamlessly to create connected organisation intelligence, where smarter and more informed decisions are made." Through this new study with MIT SMR, TCS extends its long-standing commitment to understand and uncover new trends in the industry and aid partners in integrating new technologies and frameworks. Over the years, TCS has collaborated with MIT SMR on industry research about direct-to-consumer enterprises, workforce empowerment, digital inclusion, retailing, and customer experience among others. Through its partnership with MIT SMR and 50 other academic institutions, TCS curates collective intelligence that enterprises can tap into. The sector-specific study provides compelling examples of ICAs in action to optimize choices, reallocate decision rights, and boost their bottom lines. Organisations using GenAI have helped achieve higher productivity and efficiency and cut costs while unlocking newer growth opportunities. In retail, AI enables retailers to both anticipate and address ma...

Which hole has Steve D been shoving money down? Find out on this week's PlayingFTSE Show!The Steves are on a roll right now – both are ahead of the FTSE 100 and the S&P 500.

But Steve D has an eye on another name from a different sector to add to the portfolio…AstraZeneca is the latest name rumoured to be leaving the FTSE 100 for the US.

On this episode of Business of Drinks, we sit down with Nick Papanicolaou, the founder and CEO of No Sleep Beverage, one of the most dynamic early-stage strategic investment platforms in the beverage alcohol space. Nick has deployed millions in capital across brands like Madre Mezcal, Barr Hill Gin, and Artet — and in this candid conversation, he outlines exactly what founders need to know to secure funding, navigate investor relationships, and build a beverage brand with staying power.Before launching No Sleep, Nick built his expertise from both sides of the table — first as a founder of a brand, then as the architect of Pernod Ricard's New Brand Ventures division. With No Sleep, he's developed an investment and acceleration model that prioritizes deep engagement with just 8–10 brands at a time, helping them optimize everything from brand positioning to sales strategy to compliance and legal.Nick doesn't just hand out checks — he and his team roll up their sleeves and work side-by-side with founders to turn smart brand into scalable businesses. In today's tight funding environment, that kind of partnership is increasingly rare — and invaluable.We cover:The No Sleep criteria: What revenue thresholds, margin profiles, and market presence VCs are really looking forWhat founders get wrong when pitching for investment — and how to stand outThe death of “growth for growth's sake” and what sustainable scaling actually looks likeWhy No Sleep takes a “slow and steady wins the race” approach to expansionHow founders should think about valuation and and share of equity as they bring on funding partnersWhether you're just starting out or navigating a critical growth stage, this episode delivers a rare look behind the scenes of what top beverage VCs really want — and how to prepare your brand to succeed.Last Call: Are celebrity spirits past their prime?

Le Ricard a la tête sous l'eau... 5 volumes d'eau... On connaitra les résultats économiques annuels à la fin de l'été, mais le groupe laisse déjà entendre que le chiffre d'affaires va enregistrer une baisse comprise entre 0 et 5%. Il faut dire que la plupart des indicateurs sont au rouge. Cela veut dire qu'il y aura des réductions d'effectifs dans les prochains mois, mais le groupe refuse de donner des chiffres précis pour le moment.

What does it take to create a spirits brand that's irresistible to both consumers and potential acquirers? For Elwyn Gladstone, the answer lies in big ideas, bold packaging, and global hustle. Elwyn is the founder of Biggar & Leith, the spirits company behind hits like Malfy Gin, acquired by Pernod Ricard in just four years, and Shanky's Whip, a black Irish whiskey liqueur now sold in 80+ countries and tracking toward 130,000 cases in 2025.In this episode, Elwyn unpacks his approach to building globally resonant brands — from his roots on the teams that launched Hendrick's Gin and Kraken Rum, to creating one of the most original and fastest-scaling brands in Irish whiskey today. With no outside capital and a lean team, he's showing just how far smart storytelling and standout design can take a brand.Elwyn shares:Why differentiation is everything — from liquid to packaging to positioningHow Malfy Gin was built to stand out at shelf with color, Italian provenance, and flavor innovation — and why “lemon gin from Italy” worked everywhereHow Shanky's Whip won over skeptics with a unique flavor (vanilla + caramel + Irish whiskey) and a product story that was fun, not intimidatingWhy Biggar & Leith ignored the “go deep before wide” rule — and built brands in dozens of countries from Day OneHow the team uses a plug-and-play playbook for each market, with toolkits, pricing, and targeted channel strategiesHow Elwyn keeps his team lean (fewer than 10 FT hires), yet executes in 80+ countriesWhat most drinks founders misunderstand about scale, distributor relationships, and brand-building prioritiesLast Call:On Last Call, we're commemorating the 20th anniversary of Granholm, which was decided on May 16, 2005. On Last Call, we're joined by Sean O'Leary of O'Leary Group, one of the country's leading liquor lawyers, to break it all down:Why Granholm helped wineries — but left retailers and spirits brands behindThe legal trends that could reshape shipping againWhere producers are still blocked — and what states to watchWhat smart founders should know about future DTC expansionDon't miss our next episode, dropping on May 21.For the latest updates, follow us:Business of Drinks:LinkedInInstagram @bizofdrinksErica Duecy, co-host: Erica Duecy is founder and co-host of Business of Drinks and one of the drinks industry's most accomplished digital and content strategists.

Ok grab a drink, sit back and relax. Today I dive into a couple of topics. Give my opinion and thoughts on them. Hope you find value in it. This whiskey world is changing and we have to adapt to it.Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Patreon.com/the_whiskeyshamanThe whisky world is changing – it's time others caught upWhisky commentator Colin Hampden-White takes issue with wine writer Andrew Jefford's depiction of the whisky ‘magi'Words by Colin Hampden-White17 December 2020. https://cluboenologique.com/As someone who spends a good deal of time reading, writing, talking about – not to mention consuming – Scotch, I would probably be considered part of the whisky cognoscenti pinpointed by Andrew Jefford in his ‘tips for wine lovers whose heads are turned by whisky', published here last month. In his counsel, Andrew accuses the whisky ‘magi' of having ‘sanctified' a certain type of Scotch for ‘whisky beatitude' – single malt, ideally single-cask bottlings of ‘multitudinous finishes and aged rarities'. It's an outdated view.The proportions of my professional reference points are the inverse of Andrew's. I am a professional whisky communicator, but also a huge wine lover. I chair the Circle of Wine Writers, and still write a great deal about wine; and I can tell Andrew that the days of whisky purists considering blends to be somehow lesser fare than single malts are well and truly over – particularly in the face of such vaunted blends as Chivas' Tribute to Honour (which sells for as much as $240,000) or Diageo's £100,000 Diamond Jubilee. Further down the scale there is a plethora of premium blends, from Pernod Ricard's Royal Salute to Johnnie Walker's Blue Label. These expressions are enjoyed by single malt lovers as much as anyone, who appreciate the complexity of their creation.Acclaimed blends include Chivas' Tribute to Honour and Diageo's £100,000 Diamond JubileeRather than being elitist, the attitude of whisky purists has changed to encourage new enthusiasts of all types. The days of bartenders advocating strict ways to drink whisky and insisting upon the need to take single malt neat are over. I would never want a wine lover to be daunted by high-strength whisky, so I agree with Andrewthat adding water is a good idea – and if you asked the “whisky Magi” today, they would likely say the same. Indeed I would advocate adding as much water as you wish, to suit your taste (though don't forget that most single malt ranges, at 10 or 12 years old, come in at 40% ABV – so anyone who has enjoyed a good Martini will be very familiar with how they react to high-strength spirits).Whisky in the 1980s was not a particularly popular drink. While many people still drank Scotch, it was is no way, shape or form trendy. All that changed in the late 1990s, when a new breed of whisky drinker emerged. This consumer sought rare single malts and even single cask offerings – something the industry duly noted and promoted accordingly.Whisky may have a romantic, nostalgic image but it is attracting a more contemporary audience, says Hampden-White. Photo by Martin Scott PowellIt's your whisky, drink it however you likeIt became clear by the mid-2000s, however, that if whisky's appeal was to grow further, it would have to be introduced to the mainstream market – and that by keeping whisky exclusive and elitist, this would never happen. From that point on, the whisky industry changed its tune, and the tartan, bagpipes and cask-strength whisky had to step aside. There was a new message to anyone keen to newcomers asking how the spirit should be drunk: “It's your whisky, drink it however you like”.

If you have followed the progress of this show since the beginning, you can see the evolution of what we talk about. In the beginning it was about brands and Master Distillers, then when we started Pursuit Spirits we were introduced into the world of brokers and the middle layer of people who own barrels without brands. That information has made its way to you and now you know more about the market. But that brokered market is heavily guarded. It's a series of handshakes, phone calls, and emails with excel spreadsheets with prices to see what's available. However, Rob Arnold with Barrel Hub is trying to make access easier for everyone. Rob isn't new to this game. He spent his undergraduate in Texas and is the person responsible for the pecan yeast strain used by TX Whiskey to this day. We talk about his background and how that led to the idea of creating a portal where industry folks can buy and sell barrels on the wholesale market.
