Beverage alcohol distributor Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits just announced the launch of Compliance Distilled, a digital resource for employees to keep up with ethical and legal standards. The portal is now available to all employees via the company intranet.
The Compliance Distilled platform offers employees a wide variety of resources, including an interactive map with state-specific regulatory guidelines, quick access to company policies and essential resources such as detailed training materials, protocol for regulator visits and an Ethics Hotline. The site also includes links to federal and state regulatory bodies, along with training videos and reference guides covering the unique regulations of each state where Southern Glazer’s operates, according to the company. Employees can easily find contact information for their Compliance & Ethics team on the platform, ensuring they know where to turn for guidance.
“Our industry is highly regulated and maintaining the highest standards of compliance and ethics is critical to our success,” said Wayne E. Chaplin, CEO, Southern Glazer’s, in a news release. “We must consistently act with honesty, transparency, and fairness. Compliance Distilled ensures our employees have the resources they need to stay informed and act with integrity, upholding the core values that drive our business forward.”
