Our beer and cider are made
from natural ingredients
which we source with care.
We work with farmers
worldwide to support the
sustainable cultivation
of raw materials to brew
our products.
Packaging enables our
brands to stand out. We aim
to offer consumers a unique
experience while innovating
to reduce the environmental
impacts of our packaging.
Every day, millions of
consumers enjoy one of our
more than 300 brands, from
premium beers to ciders and
low- and no-alcohol products.
We want to make sure they
do so responsibly.

Brewing beer and making cider
is a craft. We operate more
than 170 breweries, malteries,
cider plants and other facilities.
We work constantly to reduce
our CO2 emissions and water
consumption and increase
the share of renewable energy
we use.
The majority of our products
are consumed in the countries
where they are produced.
We work hard to optimise our
distribution network and limit
its environmental impacts.

Our brands are purchased
and consumed in bars,
restaurants and from retailers
around the world. Because
our products are best served
cooled, reducing emissions
from refrigeration is a
high priority.
