About SOCIETE PAUL RICARD SA

Patricia Ricard Giron holds an important governance role within Pernod Ricard as the permanent representative of Société Paul Ricard on the Board of Directors and as a member of the Strategic Committee. As a member of the founding family, she represents the long-term continuity of one of the group’s historical shareholders and helps anchor the company’s governance in its heritage, while contributing to strategic oversight at board level. Her professional profile is strongly associated with oceanographic, environmental and societal issues. Since 2005, she has served as Chair of the Paul Ricard Oceanographic Institute, after joining its Board in 1986. This role reflects a sustained commitment to marine conservation, biodiversity and scientific engagement. From 2010 to 2015, she also served on the French Economic, Social and Environmental Council, an experience that broadened her perspective on public policy, stakeholder dialogue and the interface between business and society. Patricia Ricard’s influence extends to several specialized organizations, including the Ocean & Climate Platform, where she is Vice President and spokesperson, as well as the France Ocean Committee created by the French Ministry for the Ecological Transition. Her board-level involvement in environmental, research and maritime institutions has helped shape a profile centered on stewardship, long-term thinking and responsible leadership. Within Pernod Ricard, her contribution lies in the combination of family-shareholder knowledge, sustainability expertise and a long-term view of corporate value creation. She supports board deliberations on strategic direction, identity and reputation, with a particular sensitivity to ESG priorities and stakeholder expectations. In that sense, Patricia Ricard is not simply a representative of the founding family; she is a governance figure whose background strengthens the continuity, credibility and strategic depth of Pernod Ricard’s boardroom discussions.
