Code of Ethics
Éduc’alcool has adopted the Code of Ethics of the Alcoholic Beverage Industry in Quebec.

Explanation
The Ethics Council logo
Like Rubin’s famous vase, the logo depicts two people facing each other, representing those (in grey) who appear before the Ethics Council (in blue) to learn about their responsibilities regarding the sale and promotion of alcoholic beverages. The image of an alcohol glass is created by the outline of the two faces.
