C02 emissions directly contribute to climate change, causing
temperatures and sea levels to rise. This in turn has an
impact on the availability and cost of raw materials and
other resources.
As a leading global company, we believe it is our responsibility
to play an active role in the reduction of C02 emissions across
the value chain, from barley to bar. We've set ambitious
targets for doing so within the brewing, cooling, and
distribution parts of our business.
In our breweries, we increasingly use renewable energy
sources like solar, wind and biogas. We are working with
suppliers to reduce emissions in the design and production
of our packaging, and with customers to focus on recycling
and reusing the products they consume.
