SP Brewery (SPB), as part of its corporate social responsibility, continues to encourage Responsible Drinking, through sustainable partnerships.
One important partnership was further solidified last week (Thursday 29th June 2023), between SPB and the Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC), when the two stakeholders re-signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), at SP Brewery’s head office in Port Moresby.
“Serving alcohol comes with significant responsibility and as responsible producers of alcoholic products SP Brewery intentionally takes the lead role in promoting responsible consumption in PNG because that’s the right thing to do,” says Ed Weggemans SPB Managing Director.
“We are extremely pleased with the partnership with the Australia Pacific Training Coalition (APTC) which has been in effect since 2019, in training Hospitality professionals on how to serve our product beer to the highest quality and instill a sense of responsibility when serving alcoholic products to patrons.”
As outlined in the MOU, both parties have agreed to certain terms and conditions to facilitate Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) training.
Some of these include:
• SPB providing a venue and equipment to train APTC Certificate III Hospitality (Food & Beverage) students in RSA and Star Serve twice a year.
• APTC to support the Brewer to customize its’ RSA module.
During the signing of the MOU, Nicki Baird, Executive Director for the APTC Pacific Office highlighted the importance of APTC to working with reputable businesses that can give their (APTC) students an authentic work experience on what it’s really like to work in the industry.
“We are delighted to recommence this relationship.”
