This report presents Anheuser-Busch InBev’s annual update on key performance data and information for calendar year 2011, and provides data on specific targets in our Better World Three-Year Plan approved by our board of directors in October 2009. The report structure parallels our Better World focus areas – Responsible Drinking, Environment, Community – three pillars of global citizenship defined in our materiality assessment that are supported by our People.
Over the past three years, our Better World Taskforce has made great strides in engaging and energizing employees and stakeholders to accomplish a number of bold global initiatives – from reducing water use and greenhouse gas emissions, to developing renewable energy programs. From executing aggressive responsible drinking campaigns, to creating safe work environments and encouraging employee volunteer programs.
Across all the pillars of our Better World plan, we accomplished a number of goals in 2011. It’s all a tribute to the positive impact passionate people can have when they’re determined to make a difference. And while we made good strides, there is still more we can – and will – do.
