Our 2020 commitment
- Reduce the CO2 emissions of our fridges
by 50%.8
Our 2018 milestone
- 100% green fridges purchased.
- Reduce the CO2 emissions of our fridges
by 47%.
For more information on how we reduce CO2
emissions across our value chain and how we move
towards circular business models, see our website
Our progress in 2016
On track
- Almost 100% of our 125,059 new fridges in
2016 had one or more green features: use
of hydrocarbon refrigerant, LED illumination,
an energy management system and energy-
efficient fans.
- CO2 emissions per fridge were almost 46%
less than in 2010, putting us on track to reach
our 2020 commitment.
Our 2018 milestone
- Reduce the CO2 emissions from distribution
by 16% in Europe and 0% in the Americas.
- Emissions in Europe (including Russia and
Belarus) went down 3.8% from 2015 and
13.2% compared to baseline year, putting
us on track to meet our commitment for the
region. Poland, Netherlands and Serbia have
already achieved the 2020 commitment
of 20% reduction.
- USA and Brazil are showing progress
compared to last year, but the results for
Mexico needed more time for validation.
Given Mexico's significant impact on
the regional (Americas) and global
number we will disclose final results by
end of March in the sustainability section
of the Company website.
Looking ahead
Our new brewery in Chihuahua, northern
Mexico, is due to be operational in late 2017
which will make a positive contribution to
further emission reduction in distribution.
This is because we will become less dependent
on transporting products from our breweries
in the south to meet demand in the north.
We are exploring opportunities to shift towards
sustainable bio-fuel for road freight and ocean
freight in a number of countries.
- Reduce the CO2 emissions from distribution
by 20%6 in Europe and the Americas.
