As the only foreign company invited to attend the Event, Budweiser APAC shared experience, actions and goals in the green and low-carbon field through the live links:

Low-carbon development is Budweiser's consistent commitment to climate protection and carbon reduction. Budweiser aims to use 100% renewable energy by 2025 and reduce carbon emissions across its value chain by 25%.

Ziyang brewery is our first brewery in China using 100% renewable electricity, which is also the first to achieve this goal in the Chinese beery industry.

Budweiser looks to complete 15-16 more before 2020 ends, which is about half of its breweries in China. At that time, 59% of Budweiser will be brewed with renewable electricity. The amount of renewable electricity equals to the electricity amount used by 35,000 ordinary families for a year, reducing carbon of 64,500 ton, and planting 3.52mio trees.

By sharing these remarkable achievements, Budweiser APAC once again demonstrates to the public that it is Budweiser's purpose to Bringing people together for a better world. Budweiser APAC will continue to integrate sustainable development into its entire value chain for a cleaner world.
