drinking booths at most massive events sponsored by the
company’s brands, to hand out materials about the risks
associated with alcohol abuse.

Cerveceria y Malteria Quilmes is making
significant contributions to helping achieve
these goals.
• In 2009, we recycled 94 percent of our solid
waste and brewing by-products at our beer
production facilities.
• In the past two years, we reduced our water
usage 15 percent, going from 4.97 hectoliters
of water per hectoliter of production at the
end of 2007 to 4.22 hectoliters per hectoliter
of production at the end of 2009.
• Cervecería y Maltería Quilmes has reduced
energy consumption per hectoliter by
19 percent over the past 10 years (6 percent
over the past six years) and water consumption
per hectoliter by 42 percent over the past
10 years (12 percent over the last six years).
• Ten years ago, we recovered only 0.1 kg/hl
of our CO2 emissions. Today we recover
0.6 kg/hl, six times more, which has a direct
impact on CO2 emissions; almost 80 percent
of this recovery is used to produce soft drinks.
• 15.4 percent of the fuel used to power our
plants is generated by renewable energy.
• Revenues from recycling of by-products
equaled $4.43 million.
