The earthquake crisis in Haiti is prompting a worldwide humanitarian response. Through its North American companies (Anheuser-Busch, Labatt) and Latin American North operations (AmBev), Anheuser-Busch InBev is joining governments and relief agencies in life-saving efforts on several fronts, including the donation of water that is critically needed. The day after the earthquake, the company’s AmBev unit was among the first to provide relief to victims of this tragedy by immediately shipping nearly 350,000 plastic bottles of fresh drinking water from a brewery it operates in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, about 160 miles from Port-au-Prince. In addition, the Anheuser-Busch brewery in Cartersville, Ga., is working with the American Red Cross to ship another 600,000 cans of water. In total, the company will donate nearly 1 million cans of water.
