ZERO

CARBON FOOTPRINT

CMBC and Carlsberg Group around the world are taking action to reduce our impact on the environment.

We’re working towards ZERO carbon emissions at our breweries by 2030, achieving net ZERO carbon emissions across our entire value chain by 2040.

As part of our ambitious programme, we’ve also committed to having 100% renewable electricity to power our breweries by 2030, coming from assets that contribute additional renewable energy capacity to the grid.

Actions towards ZERO

A better beer bottle

Probably the best beer in the world deserves nothing less than the best bottle! So when we launched the new perfectly balanced Carlsberg Danish Pilsner in March 2019, we worked closely with our glass suppliers to develop a bottle to be proud of. It’s 10g lighter than the one it replaced. In just the first year this saved over 134 tonnes of glass across the Carlsberg portfolio!
