Within alcohol distribution, compliance is not a separate back-office layer. It is part of what makes products market-ready and sale-ready across different markets and channels.
### Main areas within Compliance At a high level: * products need to meet market-specific requirements in order to be sold * labels and product formats need to fit the intended market and route to sale * requirements can vary by product, country, and route to market * retail-facing routes are often stricter than trade-facing ones ### How compliance works within Lexir Compliance in Lexir is tied to the real route through which products are brought into market and sold. That means the relevant requirements are built into the structure through which products are prepared, placed into market, and sold, rather than left as separate technical points for brands to solve alone. Lexir also makes clear what a product needs to meet in order to be sold through the intended route. ### Explore the Compliance section Learn more about the key compliance areas managed through Lexir: * [Labelling](/operations/compliance/regulatory-requirements.md) * [Regulatory Requirements](/operations/compliance/regulatory-requirements.md) ### Compliance with Lexir Compliance with Lexir means having a route into market that is already structured around the requirements needed for the product to be sold in the relevant way.
