Summary

"This volume presents a strong argument for the social and corporate benefits of an aggressive and immediate integration of the best principles of corporate social responsibility into the beverage alcohol industry. The unique relationships between alcohol and society, particularly in relation to issues such as youth education, peer influences, media exposure, and the law, demonstrate the important role that CSR can play in this particular industry. Chapters present examples of practices to be encouraged and avoided, successful alcohol education programs, and guidelines for responsible action and commitment to positive values already inherent in the industry. Corporate Social Responsibility and Alcohol makes a case for the adherence to CSR policies and practices and demonstrates opportunities for new and continuing partnerships between business and society, for the benefit of corporations, customers, and citizens alike."--BOOK JACKET.
