Society 2030: Spirit of Progress

Society 2030 is Diageo (one of the world’s largest alcohol beverage companies)’s social responsibility programme. Society 2030 is focussed around three primary initiatives. First, DRINKiQ is a comprehensive website that provides information, classes, and assessments about drinking in moderation. Diageo is promoting DRINKiQ in every market they sell in. Second, SMASHED works to combat underage drinking through youth education. Diageo hopes to reach 10 million youths by 2030. Lastly, The Wrong Side of the Road is an interactive experience that is being disseminated in partnership with UNITAR. That programme counteracts drinking and driving, and Diageo hopes to reach 5 million people by 2030. In addition to those programmes, Diageo also has an updated marketing code focussed around responsible marketing for drinking in moderation.
