New year resolutions for alcohol industry

Portman Group CEO and Responsibility Deal Alcohol Network co-chair, Henry Ashworth, talks about the resolutions being made by the alcohol industry and how organisations who have not yet signed up can get involved in a new video blog.

He encourages alcohol producers to get on board with progress being made by the industry in putting essential health information on labels.

Ashworth is keen that businesses sign up to the unit reduction pledge, and that all employers think about whether they have an ‘alcohol in the workplace’ policy, and if not to take the necessary action.
