Movendi International

Movendi International members deliver health promotion and social connection daily, worldwide.
Across both reports, alcohol is absent as a structural and commercial determinant. Movendi documents the industry's role: driving harm and obstructing solutions. WHO must address this gap.
Effective action requires integrating alcohol into well-being and social connection frameworks; applying FCTC Article 5.3 safeguards against industry interference in health policy.
Alcohol policy is both health investment and fiscal tool. New Movendi analysis shows countries cover only 13% of alcohol harm costs — making alcohol taxation an under-utilised lever for health and fiscal sustainability.
The political commitments are made. The economic case is clear. We call on Member States to act on both — and defend the policy space that makes action possible.
