Optimising water
consumption
Netherlands
Overall, two breweries reduced their water consumption
below our 7 hectolitres target. The brewery in Mbandaka
(Democratic Republic of Congo) reduced water use from 7 to
6.7 hectolitres per hectolitre beer and the brewery in Badr
(Egypt) significantly reduced water consumption from 10.7
to 6.7 hectolitres per hectolitre beer through improved
packaging activities and TPM improvement actions.
Two sites showed an increase in specific water consumption
to more than 7 hectolitres per hectolitre beer. St. Petersburg
(Russia) increased from 5.4 to 7.2 hectolitres per hectolitre
beer and Kobbegem (Belgium) increased from 6.6 to 7.7
hectolitres per hectolitre beer. Both were the result of lower
volumes. Additionally, our brewery in Rechitsa (Belarus) also
saw an increase of its specific water consumption.
Waste water
In 2009 two waste water treatment projects were under
construction in Kinshasa and Lubumbashi (Democratic
Republic of Congo).
The effluent organic load discharged to surface water
increased from 15.8 ktonnes in 2008 to 17.3 ktonnes in 2009,
largely as a result of a malfunctioning waste water treatment
plant at our production unit in Lagos (Nigeria) and due to two
new acquisitions in 2009 (Bobruysk in Belarus and Louny in
the Czech Republic).
