Our ESG Approach

Together Towards ZERO
& Beyond

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.

In 2024 we made steady progress on our ESG targets

From boosting recycling rates and piloting regenerative agriculture, to promoting responsible consumption and keeping health and safety top of mind for all our employees, this past year was a testament to our commitment to continually doing better, together. Check out some of our highlights below.
