ZERO WATER WASTE

Water stewardship and responsible management are central to our sustainability priorities. We recognise that water security is vital for our brewery operations amid global climate change concerns and natural resource depletion.

Building on this understanding, we are committed to implementing water recycling, reuse initiatives and effective water discharge treatment at our brewery.

WATER USE AND MANAGEMENT

We are committed to responsible water stewardship and protecting natural water sources throughout our operations. Water is naturally an essential resource for beer production, and thus water scarcity poses a business risk to us. We are constantly seeking ways to reduce the amount of water used to produce our beverages, and in our operations.

OUR APPROACH

Our approach to achieving the ZERO Water Waste target prioritises responsible water management, ensuring sustainable brewing operations, while safeguarding this vital resource for our future generations.

PROGRESS/ACHIEVEMENTS

In 2024, our water management enhancements focused on these key operational areas:

In 2024, we achieved a water consumption of 2.9 hl per hl of beer produced, surpassing our target of 3.0 hl /hl. By implementing targeted optimisation across key operational areas, strengthening our water treatment system and modernising our canning line to introduce air rinsing technology, this has enabled us to reduce water usage year-on-year and thus:

GOING FORWARD:

Our operational improvements will continue to focus on eliminating water losses and enhancing water efficiency across our brewery through:

• The One Tank process in Brewing and Processing
• Beer Membrane Filtration System
• Canning Line Air Rinsing Technology
• Centralised Refrigeration System

While this 1.5-year project's benefits will materialise in subsequent years, it supports our journey towards achieving our 2030 target of 2.0hl water usage per hl of beer produced.
