Dream Big to Create a Future with More Cheers.
At AB InBev, our purpose—Dream Big to Create a Future with More Cheers—drives everything we do. We are building on more than 600 years of brewing heritage, always looking to serve up new ways to meet life’s moments while pushing our industry forward. That means dreaming big not only about our products, but also about our impact on the world.
From building a resilient and agile value chain to solidifying our role as a trusted partner, to identifying and capturing new sources of business value, sustainability plays a key role in fulfilling our company purpose and enabling our commercial vision.
Goals
Our business is closely tied to the natural environment: agricultural crops and water are our key ingredients, we require raw materials for our packaging and we need energy and fuel to brew, transport and refrigerate our beers. Our 2025 Sustainability Goals and ambition to achieve net zero aim to help address the environmental and social climate-related impacts we are experiencing across our value chain and in the communities where we work.
- Sustainable Agriculture
- Water Stewardship
- Circular Packaging
- Climate
About Us
Our Focus Areas
Agriculture
Our business depends on high-quality agricultural crops from thriving communities and healthy ecosystems to brew our beers. The impact from climate change in our sourcing regions is increasingly evident, which is why we work to build resilience through crop management, improved varieties, and risk mitigation tools. Beyond the environmental aspect, we know the impacts of climate change in agriculture are closely linked with the social and economic challenges farmers face across the globe.
Stewardship
More than just a key ingredient in our products, water is a critical resource for the health and well-being of communities around the world. Water resource challenges are magnified by climate pressures, inadequate infrastructure and governance issues. The growing scarcity of freshwater resources is not just an important issue for our company. It is also important to our communities' economic, social and environmental well-being.
Packaging
As the world faces increasing resource scarcity, taking a circular approach to packaging and improving the materials we use have the potential to deliver long-term financial benefits, provide our business with long-term packaging supply security and help eliminate waste. We are on a mission to create a more sustainable future, and one of the most important sustainability levers that we can influence is circular packaging. By focusing on innovative packaging solutions and using our scale, we believe we can drive progress and change in our industry and beyond.
Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges. Our business is closely tied to the natural environment: agricultural crops and water are our key ingredients, we require raw materials for our packaging, and we need energy and fuel to brew, transport, and cool our beers. Our approach is based on two key pillars: embedding sustainability into our business strategy, and striving to follow leading climate science.
