environmental Performance
At Cervecería y Maltería Quilmes, we continually
seek to operate more efficiently and maintain our
quality standards, while considering our environmental
impacts, in order to be better stewards
of the world in which we live. We focus our
environmental sustainability initiatives on key
issues — water, energy, recycling and packaging.
Our beers are brewed with natural ingredients,
we use pure water in the brewing process, and
we package and distribute our products for
the enjoyment of our consumers. In addition
to being efficient and reducing waste — which
is an important part of our culture — we also
recognize that we have a role to play in addressing
shared challenges such as climate change.
2012 environmental Targets
In 2009, we set new targets on key measures
such as water and energy use, as well as carbon
emission reductions, that we will strive to achieve
by the end of 2012.
• Increase our waste and by-product recycling
to 99 percent.
• Reduce water use for beer and soft drinks
plants to an industry leading 3.5 hectoliters
of water for each hectoliter of product.
• Reduce energy use per hectoliter by
10 percent.
• Reduce CO2
emissions per hectoliter by
10 percent.
