Marketing Code

Responsible Marketing as a guiding Principle

As a manufacturer of premium liqueur, responsible consumption and the protection of minors is a matter that is close to our hearts. For years, we have been committed to the strict rules of our Marketing Code. We base all our marketing activities on the following five principles:

1. FOR ADULTS ONLY

Jägermeister is intended for adults of legal purchase age who choose to drink.

Minors must be given special protection. Drinking alcohol should be a choice that is made freely by adults. In marketing and communications activities, we will strongly support the message that the consumption of alcohol is only for adults who have attained the legal minimum age.

2. COMMITTED TO RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION

Jägermeister’s commitment to responsible consumption is an important, integral component of all advertising and marketing practices.

At Jägermeister, we strive to promote the message that alcohol should be consumed responsibly. We will incorporate responsible drinking statements in our communications wherever practicable and possible. In our marketing and communications work, the consumption of alcoholic beverages will be depicted exclusively as responsible and moderate enjoyment.

3. DISCOURAGING ABUSIVE CONSUMPTION

Jägermeister encourages responsible decision-making regarding the consumption of alcohol and discourages abusive consumption.

At Jägermeister, we reject any consumption of alcohol that is irresponsible, abusive or excessive. Our marketing and communications activities will not claim that the consumption of Jägermeister enhances mental ability or physical performance.

4. HONORING COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Jägermeister marketing and advertising should reflect generally accepted standards of good taste while recognizing that these standards can vary from nation to nation.

At Jägermeister, we hold socially accepted standards and conventions in high esteem since our products are enjoyed by millions of different people. We want to play our part in a multicultural society and we honor the diversity of people, ideas and beliefs. Accordingly, our marketing will never denigrate anybody because of his or her sex, ethnicity or belief, nor because of his or her religious or political views.

5. JÄGERMEISTER OBSERVES THE LAW

Jägermeister marketing and advertising abides by all laws, regulations, and national self-imposed codes.

The Jägermeister Marketing Code sets out fundamental principles that are applicable for any country in which we are active. In countries where local laws and advertising regulations place additional requirements on doing business, these additional requirements must also be met.

We provide regular training opportunities to ensure that our employees, service providers and partners can apply the rules of the Code and related compliance processes in their everyday work.

COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE

The marketing and advertising practices of every country in which we do business will be periodically reviewed to ensure compliance with this Jägermeister Marketing Code. These periodic reviews will examine all marketing and advertising practices, including the following areas:

  • Traditional Advertising (TV commercials, print & billboard advertising, etc.)
  • Digital Marketing (Jägermeister owned websites, social media channels, etc.)
  • Point of Sale/Consumption Materials
  • Promotional Activities
  • Event Sponsorships
  • Public Relations
