The world’s leading distiller will provide Grain Neutral Spirit  – a 96 per cent strength ethanol used primarily in the production of vodka and gin.

it will be made available at no cost to hand sanitizer producers, to help overcome shortages in healthcare systems.

This donation will enable the production of more than five million 250 millilitres bottles of hand sanitiser.

Diageo continues to engage with national and local governments across the many countries where the company has major distilling operations.

This will ensure the donation is used for maximum impact in protecting health workers and patients and that sanitiser reaches the front-line as quickly as possible.

The UK and the Republic of Ireland: 500,000 litres of GNS to be made available for national healthcare systems and workers across the UK and Ireland.

Kenya: Diageo’s East Africa Breweries Limited will provide 100,000 litres of ethanol to supply to a local sanitiser manufacturer

Australia: Diageo’s Bundaberg rum distillery to produce 100,000 litres of ethanol to the Queensland Government, to be forwarded to hand sanitiser manufacturers.

“Health care workers are at the forefront of fighting this pandemic and we are determined to do what we can to help protect them,” said Ivan Menezes, Diageo Chief Executive.

“This is the quickest and most effective way for us to meet the surging demand for sanitiser around the world.”
