2020 commitments:

o Reduce specific water consumption in our breweries (global average) to 3.5 hl/hl (by 30%) and to 3.3 hl/hl in water scarce areas

Waterconsumption: Raw water intake volume divided by product volume. This example water consumption 4,0 l/l

Waterbalancing : We balance the volume not returned in a clean, treated way to the watershed. This example balancing requitrements 1,5 l per l of product
