By August 20, 2024Top News

86 Harassment, a new program addressing sexual harassment and gender-based violence within the beverage alcohol and hospitality industries, announced that Brown-Forman Corporation has become a sponsor of the Women of the Vine & Spirits-led industry-wide initiative. Brown-Forman said its corporate sponsorship of 86 Harassment signals to industry professionals and customers alike that sexual violence and harassment have no place in these industries. 86 Harassment is the first industry-wide initiative specifically designed for the beverage alcohol and hospitality industries to co-create an action plan aimed at reducing incidents of harassment and violence. It aims to create a model that can be duplicated by other industries worldwide, emphasizing a collective commitment to fostering safer environments for employers, employees and customers. Sponsors also include the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, Pernod Ricard North America and the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America among them.
