Water is essential to society, and to making beer. However, today it is not managed optimally in too many areas of the world, and water scarcity is a major concern.
The Carlsberg Group’s vision for a better tomorrow is a world in which zero water is wasted.
In pursuit of this vision, Carlsberg has developed bold targets – including halving water usage at its breweries by 2030. Carlsberg will also form partnerships to safeguard shared water resources in high-risk areas around selected breweries, identified together with WWF.
Carlsberg Group targets
2030
- 50% reduction in water usage at its breweries
- Partner to safeguard shared water resources in high-risk areas
2022
- 25% reduction in water usage at its breweries
- Explore going below 2.0 hl/hl at all high-risk breweries
- Partner to safeguard shared water resources in high-risk areas
The targets are part of the Carlsberg Group’s new sustainability programme, Together Towards ZERO – which states the brewer’s ambitions and targets towards 2022 and 2030.
