Anheuser-Busch targets 100% RE in 2025
Anheuser-Busch launched its U.S. 2025 Sustainability Goals, including targets for renewable electricity and carbon reduction. These goals build on the 2025 Global Sustainability Goals recently announced by the brewer’s parent company AB InBev.
In a statement, the company cited a target of 100% of purchased electricity to come from renewable sources, while CO2 emissions across the value chain will be reduced by 25%.
"We take great pride in our sustainability efforts and our long history of striving to be good stewards of the environment. Now, we are challenging ourselves to do more," said Michel Doukeris, CEO of Anheuser-Busch. "Our company has been around for 165 years, and these goals will ensure that we continue to make meaningful contributions toward building strong communities and a healthy environment for the next 165 years."
Additionally, Anheuser-Busch announced sustainability goals in the areas of water stewardship, smart agriculture, and circular packaging. The company's Budweiser brand also launched the 100% Renewable Electricity symbol, which will appear on its U.S. packaging beginning on Earth Day (4/22). The symbol indicates that Anheuser-Busch, through its partnership with Enel Green Power, now secures 50 percent of its purchased electricity from wind power — more than the electricity used to brew Budweiser in the U.S. each year.
