Energy & carbon

Reducing our energy and carbon footprint
Background

The effects of climate change could have far reaching consequences, particularly for water availability and agricultural production – both of which are vital to the production of beer.

Our response

By 2020 we aim to halve the fossil fuel emissions from our on-site energy use per hectolitre of lager compared with 2008. Wherever we can, we aim to use alternative and renewable sources of energy which produce fewer emissions than fossil fuels.

We also consider the carbon associated with our value chain, focusing particularly on packaging manufacture, transport and the refrigeration of our products.
