Environmental reporting
The purpose of environmental reporting is to clarify
the environmental effects of producing malt, beer
and soft drinks at our production locations. These
effects include depletion of resources, emissions
and nuisance. To measure the results achieved in
these areas, Group Supply Chain has defined five
key parameters for our breweries, maltings and
soft-drink plants. Performance is measured in terms
of production, expressed in hectolitres of beer or
soft drinks or tonnes of malt, to facilitate
comparison of the results.
Environmental performance parameters
The eco management system comprises of the
following subjects: local environmental policy,
environmental management system, legal
compliance, violations of law, environmental fines,
environmental complaints, environmental
accidents, reliability of reporting. The greenhouse
effect covers C02 and refrigerant emissions. The
ozone layer depletion covers refrigerant losses
(e.g. HCFCs), acidification covers NOx, SOx, and
NH3 emissions, nutrification covers COD, nitrogen
and phosphorus in waste water after treatment,
where discharged into surface water. Waste
management deals with the destination of our
by-products and hazardous waste.

Thermal energy Consumption of thermal energy
consumption in MJ (the corresponding C02
emission is derived from this
figure using the Group Supply
Chain tool)
Electricity consumption Consumption of electrical energy
in kWh (the corresponding C02
emission is derived from this
figure using the WBCSD Protocol)
Water consumption Water consumption in m
Solid waste Non-recycled waste such as
hazardous waste, waste water
treatment sludge and industrial
waste in kg
Eco Care Indicator A new composite indicator
covering 34 environmental
parameters such as eco
management, renewable energy
use, global warming, ozone layer
depletion, acidification,
eutrophication, nutrification and
waste management (expressed
in of best practise)
