Beer & A Better World - Anheuser-Busch InBev

Anheuser-Busch has been a major sponsor of
the Great Lake Allatoona Cleanup for the past
17 years and has donated to the Lake Allatoona
Preservation Authority as an additional show
of support for the group’s efforts.
Members of the Fairfield, Calif., brewery’s
Environmental Ambassador team and their
families participated in the annual California
Coast & Creek Cleanup Day. The crew cleaned
the Suisun Boat Ramp and adjacent marsh and
removed more than 900 pounds of trash and
200 pounds of recyclables. The Suisun Boat Ramp
site, hosted by the Fairfield brewery, was one of
12 sites in the area. The California Coast & Creek
Cleanup is sponsored by the California Coastal
Commission. At all 12 Fairfield/Suisun sites,
471 volunteers cleaned up 27.5 miles of waterways,
collecting 5,701 pounds of garbage and
1,611 pounds of recyclables.
World environment Day
Anheuser-Busch employees across the country
celebrated World Environment Day June 5, 2009,
as part of the global company’s efforts to become
the “Best Beer Company in a Better World.” Coast
to coast, employees took time to clean up their
communities, encourage others to recycle, and
challenge one another to find ways to conserve
natural resources both at work and at home.
Since 1972, World Environment Day has been the
United Nations platform to encourage people
worldwide to engage in local environmental
improvement projects. As the nation’s largest
brewer, Anheuser-Busch is challenging its
employees to find ways to conserve, recycle
and reduce the resources used to produce its
products — all with the hope of reducing the
company’s environmental impact.
In the United States, Anheuser-Busch breweries
and agricultural facilities carried out nearly
50 activities to celebrate World Environment
Day, including:
• A World Environment Day festival, tree
planting, Alternative Transportation Day and
community gardening project at the St. Louis
flagship brewery.
• Employee tours of the Fairfield, Calif.,
brewery’s newly installed solar panel and
bioenergy recovery system (BERS) alternative
energy projects.
• A celebration of the recent Wildlife Habitat
Council certification of the Manitowoc, Wis.,
malt plant’s peregrine falcon project. Since
1990, 39 falcons have hatched in a nesting
box on the property, with four eggs hatching
in 2009. A tree planting at a local park in
Fort Collins, Colo., attended by more than
60 brewery employees and their families.
The company’s celebration of World Environment
Day is an ongoing effort to unleash the creativity
and caring of our employees, so they can undertake
small environmental projects that have a
positive impact at work and in their communities.
