Codes of Conduct and Training
Codes of Conduct
Recognising the importance of responsible retailing to the long term sustainability and reputation of the industry the DFWC, with the cooperation of industry stakeholders, has developed codes of conduct covering the responsible sale of alcohol products and confectionery, chocolate & biscuit products in duty free and travel retail.
The codes recognise the unique characteristic of our industry. The codes embody the values and principles, of our industry and encourage the adoption of best practice. They are voluntary and enjoy the support of most retailers and brands active in the relevant product sectors.
