Research and Development
The Group is equipped with a specialised central research structure
named the Pernod Ricard Research Centre (CRPR).
The CRPR has three main missions:
◆ it participates in protecting strategic brands by ensuring the quality
and continuity of their organoleptic profiles;
◆ it encourages the sharing of scientific and technical knowledge
through various events, publications, training programmes and
communications;
◆ it proposes, facilitates and participates in various research projects
based on key strategic issues for brand development. Three
strategic vectors were defined in 2007:
f expertise and control of the organoleptic profiles of our
products such as, for example, the characterisation of oak wood,
understanding the formation of the key aromas of Sauvignon
Blanc or modelling the distilling process,
f support for product innovation: a number of projects by
subsidiaries rely on CRPR’s expertise in various areas such as
formulation or manufacturing processes,
f understanding product/consumer interactions. The CRPR is
currently studying the parameters that define the quality of
wines as perceived by the consumer.
In 2009, the Group added the fight against counterfeiting and
sustainable development to its programme.
Each subsidiary is responsible for and manages its development
and product/process optimisation. The CRPR offers technical and
analytical support to subsidiaries that request it.
