  In support of the local healthcare system, we equipped state governments with health and medical infrastructure to facilitate rehabilitation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we amped up healthcare support with essential aid kits to communities near our breweries across five states in India. In India, we work together with local authorities to enable real change.

We contribute to societal development by supporting young people in our communities. Our focus on poverty alleviation in education includes donating to and building schools, as we encourage students to be ambitious and to build a sustainable future with us.

  In 2022 September, our volunteers delivered 11,200 copies of The Four Great Books of China (Children’s Edition) to 28 Budweiser Hope schools in 15 provinces to create a reading atmosphere throughout the country. As a result, 9,447 students at these schools read the classic works of Chinese literature with their teachers in a different environment, and some students shared their thoughts about these books in words, pictures, videos, and other forms. In addition, we collected 171 reading reports nationwide. We awarded ten students from Budweiser Hope schools in Fujian, Guangxi, Yunnan, Hebei, Henan, Guangdong, and Liaoning the honorary title of Budweiser China 2022 Top Ten “Joyful” Readers through school recommendation and online voting.

  We opened the 10th Happy Library. We have started a local community project to renovate learning facilities and provide free educational materials and books for underprivileged children since 2016. This year, we selected this community child center as the 10th Happy Library to support. This center suffered from difficulties due to the large-scale forest fire in Uljin last March. We provided education on children’s rights with the International Child Right Center and operated a drawing workshop for underprivileged children.

As we implement environmental initiatives, we are committed to holding various internal and external campaigns that bring positive impacts to our local environment and communities.
