Carlsberg Britvic is Making Solid Progress towards its ZERO Target with a Reduction of over 11% in CO2 Emissions.

Carlsberg Britvic has released the latest ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) report from the former CMBC (2024), highlighting “solid progress” in sustainability: reduced emissions and water usage, plastic-free packaging, expanding regenerative agriculture, and a greater offering of healthy beers. These achievements will serve as the basis for its global strategy in the new company, called Together Towards ZERO and Beyond (TTZAB); an integral part of the SAIL’27 corporate strategy to create value for both shareholders and society.

The implementation of the program is supported by a solid governance structure, which includes oversight from our ESG Management Committee, composed of leaders and experts from across the organization.

The recent report corresponds to the period from January 1 to December 31, 2024, before its transformation into the new company.

Key achievements of the 2024 ESG report

• Reduction of 11.4 % in carbon emissions and 14.4 % in water consumption in its operations between 2022 and 2024.
• Complete elimination of plastic rings in 4 and 6-can multipacks through new technologies (Snap Pack and KK Clip)
• Cultivation of 3 .409 tons of regenerative barley in 2024, enough to brew more than 63 million pints, aligning with the goal of producing with 100% regenerative barley by 2027 (Danish Pilsner) and for all British brands by 2031.
• Launch of low or non-alcoholic beers (≤ 3.5% ABV), which already account for 26% of its portfolio volume in the United Kingdom, with the launch of 1664 Bière 0.0.

Carlsberg Britvic plans to continue and strengthen these initiatives. The “Together Towards ZERO and Beyond” sustainability strategy will be integrated into its new combined operation, in line with Britvic’s approaches to health, emissions and recycling.
As of January 2025, Carlsberg Britvic is the new entity resulting from the integration of Carlsberg’s British business and Britvic plc. In December 2024, Carlsberg acquired the remaining part of Carlsberg Marston “s Brewing Company (CMBC), which was previously a joint venture with Marston” s plc.
