Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits (Southern Glazer's) – the world’s preeminent distributor of beverage alcohol – today announced the launch of Compliance Distilled, a comprehensive digital resource designed to empower employees with the tools they need to maintain the highest ethical and legal standards. The portal is now available to all employees via the Company intranet.

Integrity is a core value at Southern Glazer’s. While the Company has always prioritized compliance and ethics, and provides robust training to its employees, the new Compliance Distilled site leverages the latest technology to streamline access to resources and make it even easier for employees to access the information they need.

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. 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, Chief Executive Officer, Southern Glazer’s. “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.”

The launch underscores the Company’s strong commitment to compliance and ethical business practices. Depending on their roles, some employees will also be offered learning modules on antitrust, anti-corruption, and trade practice compliance through the Southern Glazer’s University.

“Compliance Distilled represents a milestone in our efforts to create a culture of compliance,” said Alan Greenspan, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, Southern Glazer’s. “By centralizing all the essential legal and regulatory information, we are making it easier for our employees to access the knowledge they need to uphold the standards that have made Southern Glazer’s a leader in the industry.”

In a video message featured on the site, Chaplin emphasizes Southern Glazer’s core value of integrity, calling on employees to uphold the highest ethical standards and remain committed to compliance across all facets of the business. Compliance Distilled is a significant part of Southern Glazer’s ongoing efforts to promote accountability and excellence through education.
