Welcome

The Portman Group is the social responsibility body for alcohol producers.
 
We operate a strict Code of Practice to ensure alcohol is marketed responsibly and not in a way that might appeal to children.   This Code applies to all pre-packaged alcohol sold or marketed in the UK.  Since the Portman Group was set up in 1989, we have banned over 80 irresponsible products and constantly update our Code to ensure it reflects the rapid changes. 
 
We also offer a Code Advisory Service which last year alone answered 500 separate advice requests about responsible marketing.
