Anheuser-Busch InBev (Euronext: ABI) (NYSE: BUD) announced it is the most efficient in terms of water use among global brewers. The designation was achieved by reaching an industry-leading water use ratio of 3.2 hectoliters per hectoliter of production. From 2013 to 2014, this resulted in saving the equivalent of the amount of water it takes to make more than 4 billion cans of our beers. In addition to the work done within its brewery walls, the company also engages in a comprehensive water stewardship program, including watershed protection measures in brewery communities facing water stress and working with barley growers to obtain the most crop per drop. The efforts aim to improve the quality and quantity of available water for all users.

This announcement coincides with AB InBev’s 7^th global celebration of the United Nations Environment Programme’s World Environment Day. This year, the company is putting a particular emphasis on the issue of water, a critical input to AB InBev’s products and a vital resource to its communities around the world. To demonstrate its commitment to collectively tackling environmental challenges inside and outside its brewery walls, AB InBev is joining together for the first time in a common initiative—a Global Walk for Water. Colleagues will log steps and charitable donations to drive awareness of water issues in their communities.

“Making strides in water efficiency brings us closer to our Dream to be the Best Beer Company Bringing People Together For a Better World,” said Carlos Brito, CEO of Anheuser-Busch InBev. “At the heart of that Dream is collective action with all stakeholders. Through our first Global Walk for Water, we’re bringing people together globally to raise awareness of water issues. We believe we have an important role to play to address the world’s most serious environmental challenges and we’re proud of our colleagues and partners worldwide who will be pledging steps and donations to help solve large-scale water challenges.”

The Global Walk for Water is just one illustration of how AB InBev deploys resources, technologies and human capital both within its facilities and across its global footprint to help solve environmental challenges such as water management. AB InBev also invests in partnerships and initiatives that address the whole water ecosystem, from facility improvements, to new grower technologies, to community forums, to watershed clean-ups and beyond. For example, at the end of 2014, nine breweries returned clean, repurposed water, called effluent, to community watersheds to offset water needs. While the water isn’t potable, it can be pivotal in water-stressed regions as it can be used for many other purposes including agriculture watering and fertilization.
