Sustainability
Beer is inclusive, natural and local. From building a resilient and agile value chain to solidifying our role as a trusted partner, to identifying and capturing new sources of business value, sustainability plays a key role in fulfilling our company purpose and enabling our commercial vision.
Inclusive
From thousands of farmers to millions of small retailers, to colleagues and consumers, we strive to improve livelihoods and increase access to opportunity. Our inclusivity extends to our beers. Going beyond an affordable and accessible category, we stand for better choices, which is why we promote moderation.
Natural
Beer is made from water and simple ingredients, grown locally and brewed with the aim to preserve our natural resources, so we understand the true value of the planet’s precious resources. We leverage nature-based solutions to develop resilience where it is needed most.

Local
We are the proud maker of more than 500 local brands, with 175 major breweries and operations in nearly 50 countries. We strive to keep our supply chains short, our impact direct and our boots on the ground. We believe in the future of local economies and invest in their well-being and resilience.
Our Goals & Ambitions
Our business is closely tied to the natural environment: agricultural crops and water are our key ingredients, we require raw materials for our packaging and we need energy and fuel to brew, transport and refrigerate our beers. Our 2025 Sustainability Goals and ambition to achieve net zero aim to help address the environmental and social climate-related impacts we are experiencing across our value chain and in the communities where we work.
