Our Together Towards ZERO and Beyond (TTZAB) programme consists of our ambitions and concrete targets that address the environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics that are most material to our business and to wider society. As we work to achieve these, we are taking actions and delivering results towards our milestones in 2030 and 2040.
TTZAB is our response to global challenges such as inequality, climate change and water scarcity, as well as society’s increasing focus on health and well-being. The programme is anchored in our purpose of brewing for a better today and tomorrow, and is embedded into our overall corporate strategy.
Consequently, in pursuit of our targets, we are working to manage our most material business impacts responsibly, while taking actions that contribute positively to society. We will achieve our targets in partnership with our suppliers, customers, consumers and the communities where we operate, going Towards ZERO and Beyond, Together.

Thanks to an investment in a new high-tech carbon dioxide recycling plant, up to 40 percent of Carlsberg Sweden's use of carbon dioxide is estimated to come from its own process from the end of 2024.
The latest assessment of Carlsberg Group’s value chain carbon emissions confirms that Carlsberg has exceeded its 2022 target for reducing carbon emissions across the full value chain, from growing barley in the field to recycling of bottles and cans. Having targeted a 15% reduction versus 2015, it has since delivered a 16% reduction.
Our cans are getting lighter and so is their environmental footprint. Over the last three years, we have worked with Ball to cut the weight of our most common can formats by around 5% in more than ten European markets. This lightweighting is shrinking our value chain carbon footprint by around 5,000 tonnes per year.
In 2021, we joined major consumer businesses and advertisers from around the world in signing up to the World Federation of Advertisers' Planet Pledge.
When people go out, they want to enjoy a great beer with friends but sometimes they don’t want to feel the effect of alcohol, especially when they’re driving. At Carlsberg we’re working with partners to ensure that wherever consumers find our beers they can choose alcohol-free brews – even on tap.
