Results:

ZERO carbon footprint
- Utilising biogas. In 2019, 11% of natural gas was replaced by biogas, extracted at treatment plants from our own wastewater before it is discharged into the public sewer.
- Returnable glass bottles. In 2019,the company reused about 136 million glass bottles, which accounts for 44% of the total beer volume sold in secondary glass packaging.
ZERO water waste
- - The Carlsberg Group breweries in Ukraine feature one of the highest rates in terms of the water-use efficiency. It owes to multiple projects, including water recycling for technical purposes.
ZERO irresponsible drinking

Expanding the choice of alcohol-free brews (AFBs). Since the beginning of the programme, the company’s AFBs portfolio has grown by 4%.

Annually, we joins the World Day of Responsible Beer Consumption. In 2019, the company’s employees visited sellers at 20,000 POS to help prevent underage sales.

ZERO accidents culture

The company continues training efforts, ensures the protective equipment for the personnel, and engages with suppliers to promote and support the Health & Safety ambition.
