Edinburgh University student association bans SABMiller beer from its bars

Phillipa Faulkner, EUSA’s vice president, confirmed the boycott, saying: “In a referendum students voted to ban SABMiller products from our bars because of their tax policies, which we consider to be unethical. […] The beer ban follows a report published by the charity ActionAid which alleged that SABMiller has avoided paying a total of around £20 million of corporation tax in five African countries. The company denies the accusation, saying it was a major investor in the countries concerned.
