Edrington, whose brands include The Macallan and The Famous Grouse, donated $10,000 to Women of the Vine & Spirits Foundation, Ltd. which grants scholarships and awards to help women in the alcohol beverage industry to advance in their careers in the food, wine, spirits, hospitality, or viticulture industries through education, leadership, and professional development.
The Foundation’s scholarships are divided into two categories: the Professional & Leadership Development Scholarship awards recipients with attendance at the Women of the Vine & Spirits Global Symposium including lodging for the duration of the symposium, and transportation; the Educational Scholarship awards recipients with funds to assist with their tuition, course materials, lodging, and related educational expenses including the cost of professional advancement courses in the food, wine, hospitality, and/or viticulture industries.
“Edrington is pleased to be a corporate member of Women of the Vine & Spirits and support the Foundation with this donation,” said Edrington’s Director of Corporate Affairs & Social Responsibility, Marc Bromfeld. “Our ethos is steeped in a culture of Giving More Together and we are committed to fostering gender diverse teams and talent development.”
