The Diageo share price continues to push to the upside as the company has keyed into the new climate change initiatives being pushed by world leaders at the Glasgow conference. To this end, the company is to build a new $75 million carbon-neutral distillery in China.
The plant’s groundbreaking ceremony took place at Eryuan County, in the Chinese Yunnan Province. The new plant is to produce the company’s first single malt whiskey of Chinese origin to serve China, which is the world’s biggest alcoholic beverage market. Construction is expected to commence early next year.
Investors appear to be pleased with the new initiative, taking the Diageo share price to the brink of new record highs in what has been an outstanding year for the stock.
