Scotch Whisky Association

The mission of the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) is to secure a sustainable future for the Scotch Whisky industry. We want Scotch Whisky to be produced sustainably, traded globally and enjoyed responsibly. 

Our teams work across Scotland, the UK and around the world to:
- drive our sustainability strategy, working with our supply chain to fully decarbonising the industry
- campaign for regulatory and tax environments which support improved competitiveness and prosperity
- secure rules and frameworks that allow Scotch Whisky to trade freely and compete equally with like products anywhere in the world
- agree legal frameworks that ensure Scotch Whisky does not face unfair competition by enabling effective intellectual property protection
- build constructive relationships with national governments and international institutions on the role alcohol plays in society, including promoting responsible consumption and participating in action to tackle misuse.
