Diageo unterstützt verantwortungsvolles Trinken
Wer sich mit Whisky befasst, kennt auch die Gefahren: denn zuviel Alkohol kann auch der Gesundheit schaden. Der millionenschwere, internationale Getränke-Riese Diageo hat deshalb ein Programm auf die Beine gestellt, das zu maßvollem Alkoholgenuß beitragen soll. 466.000 Markenbotschaften und 346.000 Menschen aus der Gastronomie nahmen dazu am Programm "DRINKiQ training" teil. Trinken wir heute tatsächlich bewußter und gesünder als früher? Da muss sich wohl jeder an der eigenen Nase fassen. Mehr dazu in der Pressemitteilung.

Diageo arms one million adults around the world with the knowledge to champion responsible drinking
1 September 2017: Diageo has reached its
2020 sustainability and responsibility target of training one million
responsible drinking ambassadors around the world, three years ahead of
its goal.
One million adults now have the knowledge they need to champion responsible drinking - with friends, family and colleagues - supporting Diageo’s ongoing commitment to provide consumers with the information and tools to make positive decisions about drinking, or choosing not to drink.
The target has been reached through impactful Diageo training programmes, with over 466,000 adults taking part in DRINKiQ training. With the launch of a new DRINKiQ e-learning tool earlier this year, the first of its kind within the alcohol industry, Diageo has increasingly made knowledge about alcohol more accessible, allowing anyone, anywhere to complete the training online or on their mobile phone through interactive learning. DRINKiQ training has also been face-to-face with members of the Ministry of Health in countries including Peru and law enforcement officials and taxi drivers in countries including Thailand.
From Ireland to Africa and beyond, Diageo’s network of responsible drinking ambassadors, is truly global. Since opening last year, a bespoke interactive DRINKiQ platform at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin has engaged over 261,000 people on the facts about alcohol to educate and empower visitors to make informed decisions when choosing to drink or not to drink. More than 346,000 people from the bartender and hospitality industry have also completed Diageo’s Bar Academy training on serving responsibly.
