Anheuser-Busch InBev’s Global Responsible Drinking Goals

At Anheuser-Busch InBev, we brew our beers to be enjoyed responsibly by individuals of legal drinking age. For the past 30 years, we have invested in efforts to promote responsible drinking and discourage harmful use of alcohol, including drunk driving and underage drinking. To help ensure that our products continue to be consumed as intended and help bring about even more positive behavior change, we have set the following goals, which will be independently audited, to be achieved by the end of 2014:

1. Reach at least 100 million adults with programs developed by subject matter experts that help parents talk with their children about underage drinking;
2. Provide ID-checking materials and other educational information to at least half-a-million bars, clubs, restaurants and grocery stores to help them prevent sales to minors;
3. Provide training on responsible alcohol beverage sales to at least 1 million bartenders, waiters, grocery store clerks, and others who serve and sell alcohol;
4. Reach at least half-a-billion legal-age consumers to increase awareness of the importance of using a designated driver or safe-ride home;
5. Invest at least 300 million USD in advertising and programs to help remind and educate consumers about the importance of responsible drinking; and
6. Celebrate Global Be(er) Responsible Day annually to promote the importance of responsible drinking among our employees, retail customers and consumers.

In addition, we will continue to train all of our sales and marketing employees on the Anheuser-Busch InBev Commercial Communications Code on an annual basis and support enforcement of industry advertising and marketing self-regulatory codes.
