BEIJING, November 22 (China Daily/WNM) – Brewing company Anheuser-Busch (AB InBev) pledged 100 percent of its power usage around the world will come from renewable sources and it will cut carbon emissions by 25 percent across its entire value chain by 2025, CEO Carlos Brito said.

"No water, no beer – it's that simple. So sustainability is our business. It is not like something nice to have – it is our business," Brito promised at the New Economy Forum in Beijing, China Daily reports.

He reiterated the company's alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve such goals, AB InBev has been using its large scale not only to focus on the sustainability of its own business, but also extend this principle to the whole value chain.

Eager to support UNSDGs and work across the value chain to decarbonize operations, Brito said the company will turn to renewables and be more energy-efficient, as well as invest in new technologies to support the wider supply chain in the next stage.

Moreover, AB InBev has also been leveraging its brand strengths and influences to inspire widespread action. All Budweiser plants will be brewed with 100 percent renewable electricity and have a renewable electricity symbol on their packaging by 2025.

According to the Brito, the brewer's new moves will shift more than six terawatt-hours of electricity annually to renewable sources in markets where it operates, and help transform the energy industry in several countries, according to China Daily.
