History

IARD was launched in January 2015 and builds on two decades of research, policy analysis and programs by the International Center for Alcohol Policies (ICAP), as well as the efforts of the Global Alcohol Producers Group (GAPG).[3]

Producers' Commitments

IARD is the secretariat to the Beer, Wine and Spirits Producers’ Commitments to Reduce Harmful Drinking. IARD’s formation was driven by the companies’ keenness to increase momentum around the Commitments and, in general, to step up action to meet the target on harmful drinking agreed by the worlds’ governments.[4]
