Our Risks and Opportunities

We often say “No water, No Beer.” The concurrent consequences of population growth, economic development and climate change have played a significant role in the escalation of water stress worldwide. The persistent rise in demand and pollution, coupled with the fluctuating patterns of weather and water cycles, will continue to exert an influence on water availability. Our sourcing of agricultural commodities hinges upon the provision of a reliable and superior water supply.
Our Policy

Please refer to our publicly available Water Policy for more information about our dedication to minimizing water discharges, reducing water usage intensity and enhancing water availability and quality.
Our Vision and Ambition

Five of our breweries are situated near three watersheds that have been identified as experiencing “high water stress” in India. We have reaffirmed our objective to attain an average water usage rate of 2.0hl/hl in the APAC region, encompassing areas with high water stress by 2025.

Our Approach

Water aspects	Our process	Relevant water users	Our management
Water Withdrawals	Our breweries withdraw water from various sources, including thirdparty water utilities, groundwater, and surface water. Water withdrawal for the purpose of exporting to third parties is not included in our reporting scope, as it is not utilised by our own operations within the breweries under consideration.	• Local communities • Water utilities	We quantify and document water withdrawal on a monthly basis for all sites, irrespective of the water source. It is aligned with crucial production levels and conducted on an eight-hour per shift basis, allowing for continuous benchmarking and necessary corrective actions. Additionally, water withdrawals are reported for each site based on the specific water sources utilised.We conduct water risk assessments at all our breweries including the ones in water-stressed regions.
Water Consumption¹/ Water Usage²	We quantify and document water withdrawal on a monthly basis for all sites, irrespective of the water source. It is aligned with crucial production levels and conducted on an eight-hour per shift basis, allowing for continuous benchmarking and necessary corrective actions. Additionally, water withdrawals are reported for each site based on the specific water sources utilised. We conduct water risk assessments at all our breweries including the ones in water-stressed regions.	• Our farmers (supply chain) • Our production and operations	We aim to decrease overall water consumption by implementing enhancements in water usage efficiency, including expanding the number of facilities that reuse reclaimed water, upgrading watersaving technology and setting stricter guidelines for increased levels of reclaimed water reuse. We ensure the provision of fully operational and secure WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) services to all workers.
Water Discharges	The majority of effluent from our breweries is directed to registered third-party treatment facilities, while a smaller portion of treated effluent is discharged into surface water.	Local communities	All wastewater from our breweries is treated and filtered appropriately through an internal biological treatment plant before discharging it into surface waters or municipal wastewater treatment plants. The daily recording of wastewater discharge volume and location is managed in our Voyager Plant Optimisation data management system. Our objective is to decrease discharge quantities by implementing recycling and reuse practices for the treated wastewater.
Water Intake Quality	Conversion of Brewing Ingredients and Brewing Operations. Ensuring compliance with food safety standards and adherence to relevant limits is crucial, particularly when it comes to the water utilised in the production of our beverages.	Our production and operations	We have implemented standardised procedures and protocols for the measurement and monitoring of water withdrawal quality. Utilising our advanced Voyager Plant Optimisation data management system, water quality data is meticulously recorded and tracked. For each water intake, any deviations from our internal specifications are swiftly identified and addressed. Additionally, we conduct regular testing of specific parameters, including pH value, ClO2, conductivity, hardness, etc., across all our breweries to ensure consistent compliance.

¹Water consumption includes water contained in our final product and water loss from evaporation before treatment.

²Water usage includes water consumption (see the footnote above) and water being reused in operation.
