Producers' Commitments Compliance & KPIs

Producers' Commitments Compliance & KPIs

Measuring progress on the Commitments

Targets and KPIs

As the leading global beer, wine, and spirits producers, IARD’s members are committed to setting high standards for responsibility across the alcohol industry and to combating harmful drinking. These 11 companies agreed their “Producers’ Commitments” in 2012; this ambitious project focused on change in five key areas and ran until 2017. Each of the five Commitments was measured and evaluated by a series of key performance indicators (KPIs) which we initially developed with advice from Accenture Strategy, and the KPIs evolved over the five years to improve clarity and to reflect better the data acquisition process. The full indicator protocols can be accessed here.

The KPIs are as follows:

KPI 1A
