Working towards sustainability and balance
GlobalFootprint defines sustainability as the process of maintaining change in a balanced fashion, in which the use of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future potential to meet human and environement needs and aspirations.
For AB InBev and every person working here, there is a strive to work towards this harmony and balance. A sense of giving back while earning their positions as environmentally and socially conscious individuals.
We want to encourage a culture of sustainable thinking and doing. This includes challenging other businesses, clients, suppliers, and customers to change their behaviour and become part of a global movement for the greater good of our planet.
AB InBev's 2025 Sustainability Goals
During May 2018, AB InBev globally launched their commitment to several ambitious Sustainability Goals to be achieved by 2025:
