ZERO

IRRESPONSIBLE DRINKING

Our ambition is to achieve ZERO Irresponsible Drinking

 

Our ZERO Irresponsible Drinking ambition was established in our preceding ESG programme, Together Towards ZERO (TTZ). With the evolution of the programme to Together Towards ZERO and Beyond (TTZAB), we have adjusted our ambition level to include additional targets and activities, with new milestones in 2030.

We will continue delivering on our Together Towards ZERO commitments, including encouragement of responsible behaviour through our brands, our packaging, and local partnerships. In addition to this, we will go Beyond by working towards new targets, including a 35% global portfolio share for our low-alcohol and alcohol-free brews to further expand consumer choice.

 

OUR TARGETS

2030
  • 100% responsible drinking messaging through packaging and brand activations
  • 100% of our markets run partnerships to support responsible consumption
  • 100% availability of alcohol-free brews
