To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, we need to limit global warming to below 2°C, aiming for 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. That is why we have set science-based targets to the 1.5°C level, aiming for zero emissions from our brewery by 2030, and a 30% reduction in our beer-in-hand carbon footprint – our entire value chain.
It is estimated that within 25 years, demand for water in the UK will outstrip supply. We are determined to use the minimum amount of water throughout the brewing process, and to make the most of every drop. We aim to halve water use per hl of beer produced by 2030, to use just 1.7 hl/hl, eliminating water waste.
Our brews bring people together to enjoy great experiences, and we want to ensure that they are always enjoyed responsibly. We work to enable, inform and encourage responsible choices, by improving availability of great-tasting alcohol-free beers, increasing access to information and collaborating across the industry to promote responsible drinking.
Every one of our colleagues should come to work knowing that they’ll get home safe. Our focus has long been on the brewery – where the greatest risks and hazards are. Now, we are expanding our approach to include other areas of the business.
