Obolon was the first Ukrainian beverage producer which implemented the "Drink responsibly" awareness campaign in 2009. The goal of the social awareness campaign is to promote the culture of responsible beer consumption in Ukraine.

Under the awareness campaign, Obolon marks its products for those who should avoid the beverage and indicates safe consumption levels.

• "Not recommended for consumption by persons under 18 of age, pregnant women, and drivers."

As an alternative, the company offers alcohol-free beer, also produced by the company.
