Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment

Credit(s): 3

Binge-drinking, drinking and driving, and underage drinking are challenges in many countries. Addressing such challenges requires a commitment by the spirit and wine industries to corporate social responsibility. This course explores the importance of individual responsibility with alcohol as well as corporate social responsibility which is the practice of expanding focus beyond the industry to also consider societal impact. Students will learn about the concept of corporate social responsibility, with specific examples taken from the distilled spirits industry. Students will be given the opportunity to meet corporate partners through the James B. Beam Institute and learn why their commitment to social responsibility is critical to their work in the industry. Students of all disciplines are welcome.
