In this issue

Welcome to the latest issue of Just Drinks’ digi-mag!

COP 26 succeeded in focusing minds - even more than usual - on the ‘environmental, social & governance’ topic - not only within the global beverages industry but also with the consumer. While drinks brand owners have been falling over themselves this year to trumpet their green credentials and future commitments, the pressure from consumers and investors alike shows no sign of abating in the months and years ahead.

In this issue, we consider the ESG leaders & laggards in drinks. Does your employer make either list?

We also take a look at how ‘voice shopping’ is set to change the way consumers buy their products online. Think of it as a barcall at home!

On the interview front, we’ve got the usual high-quality executives sharing their thoughts, including the CEO of Minnesota-based Phillips Distilling Co and Heineken’s global director for international premium beer.

Enjoy the mag!
