Spirits Canada supports and endorses the Government of Canada’s 2011 first-ever national Low-Risk Drinking Guidelines. The Guidelines provide Canadians with constructive and useful advice on what constitutes healthy and safe drinking, while warning about the risks of exceeding safe drinking limits. In this respect the Guidelines can reinforce positive and healthy drinking behaviour.
We support responsible consumption and evidence-based public health policies. While the Canadian government provides low-risk drinking guidelines, we advocate for balanced messaging that respects consumer choice and aligns with international best practices.
Spirits Canada and our member companies are strongly committed to the responsible sale and moderate consumption of beverage alcohol. Canadian Spirits manufacturers support several leading not-for-profit organizations dedicated to educating consumers on how to enjoy our products safely.
The Canadian spirits industry is dedicated to sustainable practices that reduce environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Our member companies are actively engaged in initiatives such as:
Implementing water conservation techniques and recycling systems to minimize waste.
Adopting energy-efficient production methods and investing in renewable energy sources.
Supporting Canadian farmers and using locally grown ingredients to reduce transportation emissions.
Utilizing recyclable materials and reducing packaging waste to promote environmental responsibility.
