In parnership with

The alcohol industry's interests conflict with public health. Its lobbying and funding of misleading research are a recognised driver of alcohol-related harm.

With iMark Global, we're asking researchers to defend independent research and resist this influence. The evidence is clear, and signing this pledge is an act of both hope and resistance.

Researchers Can Resist

Those working in research and academia can make an impact in challenging and ultimately reducing the influence of alcohol industry activity on our lives and the lives of our children.

"I take pride in the fact that my work is free of alcohol industry influence. It gives me confidence that the public and other researchers will trust my research. With the i-Mark initiative we can help ensure a trustworthy research infrastructure that can ultimately act in the best interests of the public."

Dr James Larkin

Senior Postdoctoral Researcher, Royal College of Surgeons Ireland

"En tant que chercheure en France, je rencontre régulièrement des chercheurs dans mon pays qui sont financés par l'industrie de l'alcool, en particulier l'industrie viticole, et qui considèrent cela comme « normal ». C'est pourquoi j'ai décidé de m'engager auprès d'i-mark afin de m'attaquer à cette question des conflits d'intérêts. La littérature montre que le financement des académiques par les industriels de l'alcool est une stratégie de lobbying dont le but est de bloquer les politiques publiques."
