Purpose, Meaning, Culture & Values

Our Purpose

Our Purpose

At Diageo Türkiye, our purpose is celebrating life, every day, everywhere. This is more than a statement – it's a guiding force at the heart of how we work, how we live, and how we connect with the world around us.

Every day, we challenge ourselves to be better, to keep learning, and to make a positive impact. Achievements only take on their full meaning when they move hand in hand with our purpose.

A Focus on Meaning

A Focus on Meaning

We know people thrive when their work feels meaningful. That's why we help our colleagues explore their personal goals and passions through Purpose Workshops.

We create an environment where people love what they do, bring their talents to life, and feel their contributions are truly valued. Here, purpose and performance always go together – one is never complete without the other.

Our Culture

Our Culture

Our culture of collective achievement is built on our purpose, our passion for our brands, our trust in each other, and our constant desire to improve.

At Diageo Türkiye, everyone belongs. It's a place where people speak up, ideas are celebrated, learning is continuous, and success is shared.

For us, success is never a solo journey – it's something we achieve together.

Our Values

Our values are the foundation of how we work and the compass that guides us every day:

Passionate about
consumers and
our ecosystem

We are curious, we listen, and we use insights to unlock the full potential of our brands.

Be
better

We are restless learners. We take bold steps, embrace innovation, experiment, and learn from both successes and setbacks.

Value
each other

We build relationships based on trust and respect, embrace different perspectives, and empower each other to grow.

Proud of
what we do

We act with integrity, hold ourselves accountable, celebrate inclusion and diversity, and take responsibility for a better world.

Here, You Can Always Be Yourself

At Diageo, we believe that building an inclusive and sustainable society is one of the foundations of a future worth celebrating. We create a culture where everyone feels valued, belongs, and can unleash their full potential.

For us, inclusion goes far beyond words. We embrace diversity in all its forms – gender, ethnicity, ability, age, sexual orientation, social background, education, experience, and perspective. Here, you are not just accepted for who you are – your uniqueness and contributions are celebrated.

We encourage diverse candidates to join our journey, and our hiring decisions are always based on skills, experience, and potential.

We ensure fair opportunities for all in promotions, actively encourage women into leadership roles, and provide continuous feedback to support every career stage.

And our commitment doesn't stop with our people. From our brands to our partners, we work to strengthen inclusion and diversity across everything we do.

Learning & Development

At Diageo Türkiye, we are committed to helping our people learn, grow, and reach their full potential. Wherever you are in your career journey, we provide the right resources and opportunities to support your growth.

Continuous learning is at the heart of our culture. Through mentoring, training, and development programmes, we encourage our people to discover their passions, build new skills, and thrive in an inclusive environment.

In every role, our people can make their mark – by gaining new skills, staying ahead of data and trends, testing ideas, and learning from experience. With innovation and agility, they prepare not just for today, but for the future. The fact that the majority of open roles across Diageo are filled internally is the strongest proof of this commitment.

Growth looks different for everyone. Some of us focus on digital skills, others deepen their expertise in sustainability and ESG, while others tap into our mentoring culture to build performance and leadership potential.
