The Danish Partnership

The Danish Partnership – for a responsible alcohol culture

In early 2014 the Danish Ministry of Health presented a national prevention plan on health and formulated 7 targets to be achieved by 2020

Target number 5 is:

To reduce harmful use of alcohol and to postpone the alcohol debut for adolescents

The Danish Ministry of Health took the initiative to a partnership approach.

The Danish Partnership for a responsible alcohol culture is an ambitious initiative started in 2014, to promote a responsible alcohol culture in Denmark.

Partners include a large part of the value chain: producers, retailers, restaurants, bars and cafés.

      • DRC –Danish Restaurants & Cafes Association
      • VSOD – The Wine and Spirits Organisation in Denmark

      • To create a powerful forum for a coordinated nationwide effort
      • To take active responsibility to reduce health inequalities
      • To exchange ideas and develop projects with the aim of promoting a responsible alcohol culture in Denmark and factual knowledge on alcohol
      • To reduce the number of Danes, who are using alcohol harmfully
