Respect in Drinks launch VIC

The Australian liquor industry has come together to launch a bold new initiative aimed at creating safer, more inclusive and respectful workplaces. The Respect in Drinks Charter, developed by the Drinks Association’s Embrace Difference Council, was officially launched at two events in Sydney and Melbourne, hosted by Lion and Treasury Wine Estates, respectively.

Nineteen of Australia’s leading liquor suppliers have signed on as founding signatories. But as speakers made clear, signing the Charter is just the beginning. Real change, they said, will come from what happens next – in the everyday behaviours, conversations and decisions made across the industry.

Below are images from our VIC launch event.
