Join the 1000’s of students who have already taken the course and hold a certificate in the Responsible Sale of Alcohol.
Retailers and category brand owners from across the globe came together in 2015 to create a voluntary Code of Conduct for the Responsible Sale of Alcohol in Duty Free. Over 100 companies have signed up to the Code, including most of the industry’s leading retailers and brands.
The industry specific code addresses the unique nature of alcohol sales in the highly regulated duty free and travel retail channel: allowance restrictions, international travellers often unfamiliar with local languages and laws, virtually no unaccompanied minors in stores, etc.
A training course, already taken by thousands of students, provides practical guidelines on the implementation of the Code in Duty Free and Travel Retail Stores.
