great beer, great responsibility - MillerCoors

GREAT BEER,
GREAT RESPONSIBILITY
These are words we live by at MillerCoors. We brew great beer brands and strive to make a difference
throughout the lifecycles of each one, from implementing sustainable growing practices to encouraging
consumers to recycle our packaging after enjoying the finished product.
With every barrel of great beer we brew, we work to uphold our great responsibility.
We partner with retailers, distributors and community groups to ensure our beers are enjoyed responsibly by
legal drinking age consumers. In 2009, we expanded the Miller Lite Free Rides program to four new markets.
To date, the program has provided safe alternative transportation to more than 2.3 million riders.
Great responsibility also means reducing our impact on the environment and creating new ways to operate
more efficiently. Last year, MillerCoors renewed its commitment to the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency’s Climate Leaders program, pledging to reduce corporate-wide greenhouse gas emissions eight
percent by 2015.
We recognize the opportunity we have to make a positive difference across our entire supply chain. We work
with our suppliers to find more efficient solutions for delivering brewing materials to our facilities and help
embed sustainability into their businesses.
Ultimately, it is our people who make our great beers and lead the fulfillment of our great responsibility.
We are committed to creating a safe, rewarding and diverse workplace. That means being a great employer
and active member of our communities, through corporate giving and volunteerism. In 2009, we donated
$1.6 million to the United Way through our employee giving program, and employees collectively
volunteered nearly 20,000 hours.
We consistently hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards.
We track our performance and transparently report our
progress through the Sustainability Assessment
Matrix, a measuring tool and benchmarking
system based on inputs from the Global
Reporting Indicators G3 guidelines and
the UN Global Compact Principles.
Throughout the pages of this report
you will find examples of ways
our proud brewing heritage and
commitment to responsibility are
reflected today in each stage of
brewing every one of our great
beer brands.
Because we know that with great beer
comes great responsibility.
