FIVS Guiding Principles for Advertising and Marketing

FIVS at a Glance

Economic Sustainability

In order to support sustainable economic growth for the alcohol beverage industry, FIVS works to promote the mutual acceptance of regulations in areas such as production methods and labelling, the alleviation of trade distorting practices, and combatting counterfeit alcohol.

Environmental Sustainability

FIVS advocates for an environmentally sustainable industry by encouraging the adoption of appropriate locally relevant sustainability programmes. To that end, FIVS has developed The Global Wine Producers Environmental Sustainability Principles.

Social Sustainability

FIVS supports initiatives that promote responsible alcohol consumption, such as encouraging the sharing of good practices, fostering dialogue among key stakeholders, and promoting good regulatory practices, including self-regulatory approaches. FIVS has developed Social Sustainability Principles for Ethical Trading, Guiding Principles for Advertising and Marketing, and the FIVS-Assure database.

Scientific and Technical Expertise

The Scientific and Technical Committee (STC) assists the Federation and the industry by addressing challenging technical and scientific matters. FIVS Committee members have produced a varied set of scientific papers which have the effect of fostering the sound regulation of wine. Working with other groups, the STC has developed two sets of principles to promote regulatory coherence.
