2B. Responsible water Management
Water is a natural resource that is becoming increasingly scarce and it gains
strategic importance as it becomes more scarce. Today, millions of people
throughout the world do not have access to clean water. Turkey is among
the countries that have begun to experience this scarcity acutely. In this
respect, water is among the key factors for sustainable growth.
Aware of the importance of water and taking action accordingly, Anadolu
Efes adopted a comprehensive and responsive approach to water
management. The Company has implemented policies for the responsible
management of water and water resources in its beer operations, including:
• Monitoring of water use in all processes such as production, filling etc.
• Reporting of water used per unit of product on a regular basis
• Developing and implementing projects to reduce water consumption.
As a result of the successful adoption of these policies, water use per unit
product in the breweries decreased by 19 percent between 2005 and 2010.
In addition, per unit water use has decreased by 6 percent and 1.3 percent
in the breweries and malteries respectively during the last year.
Having adopted the same responsible approach in water use and selected
as the “Most Successful Business Unit” in 2008 in terms of water and
