The Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA) has published a guide designed to aid trade members in practicing responsible alcohol retailing.
The toolkit covers everything from advice on how to establish a social responsibility policy to best practice guides on labelling, advertising, marketing and websites, together with a section on responsible retailing.
WSTA chief executive Jeremy Beadles said: "Most UK drinks companies already operate to very high standards but naturally our members wish to ensure they follow best practice wherever possible.
"Our membership varies widely in terms of size and speciality. For some this guide will be a checklist, but for others it will provide a step-by-step guide to implement a comprehensive social responsibility policy."
The Toolkit is available to view in PDF version from the WSTA website: Click here to view the document
