Disclosure of operating segments [abstract]  
Segmental information Segmental information
The segmental information presented is consistent with management reporting provided to the Executive Committee (the chief
operating decision maker).
The Executive Committee considers the business principally from a geographical perspective based on the location of third-
party sales and the business analysis is presented by geographical segment. The group's operations also include the Corporate
segment. Corporate costs are in respect of central costs, including finance, marketing, corporate relations, human resources and
legal, as well as certain information systems, facilities and employee costs that are not allocable to the geographical segments.
Diageo uses shared services operations to deliver transaction processing activities for markets and operational entities. These
centres are located in India, Hungary, Colombia and the Philippines. These captive business service centres also perform certain
central finance activities, including elements of financial planning and reporting, treasury and HR services. The costs of shared
services operations are recharged to the regions.
The Executive Committee makes decisions based on the analysis of several financial data sets including organic and IFRS
reported data. There has been a change in how the Executive Committee looks at performance given the foreign exchange
volatility experienced, using actual foreign exchange rates for current and comparative periods which is consistent with IFRS
reported results. Accordingly, the segmental analysis below is presented based on IFRS reported figures. Supply Chain and
Procurement (SC&P), which manufactures products for other group companies and includes the production sites in the United
Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Guatemala and Mexico, as well as comprises the global procurement function, is considered a key
intersegmental operation instead of a separate operating segment.
