Does Carlsberg think it is ok that children are exposed to beer commercials when attending a football game?.

·          On the contrary, our Code of Marketing Practice prescribes that our marketing activities are targeted at adults only. For instance, in our advertising:

o         we never use models who look or behave like people below the age of 26,

o         we avoid the use of celebrities with a significant underage following,

o         we avoid cartoon characters that might appeal to children,

o         we never promote Carlsberg in media, events or programmes where the majority of the audience are known to be minors. 

·          That being said, it is not up to Carlsberg to decide what is ok for children to watch, but we take our responsibility very seriously.

o         We know that children are exposed to many types of communication daily and that parents have an important role to play in guiding and instructing their kids.

o         Children are not likely to attend matches during the UEFA EURO 2008 on their own, but would always be accompanied by an adult.
