Stuart MacFarlane, President, InBev UK & Ireland, said: "As the leading on-trade premium lager, the No 1 take home alcoholic drinks brand and the No 3 FMCG grocery brand, it is appropriate that Stella Artois is one of the key sponsors of the RDR initiative which recognises the efforts being made by the drinks industry to encourage responsible retailing.
"InBev UK has always been at the forefront of encouraging responsible drinking and remains fully committed to promoting its brands responsibly. It was the first company to introduce unit labelling in this country, was a founding member of The Portman Group and is a significant contributor to The Drinkaware Trust - promoting the website on all our brands and associated marketing activity.
"We will continue to work with our retail customers on initiatives to support the work they are doing to encourage responsible drinking. Ultimately, it is good for our long-term business development that consumers enjoy our brands in a responsible fashion.
