Argentina: The Quilmes brewery reduces water consumption and CO2 emissions

The Argentine company Quilmes, whose share of the beer market is 60 percent, invested in several projects to guarantee water security in Mendoza.

However, in order to reduce carbon emissions until 2040, the beverage company has been carrying out a project to increase the capacity of renewable energy sources with support from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The company's objective is to collaborate to ensure that 100 percent of the communities in areas of water stress neighboring its plants have greater availability and quality of this resource. In this sense, during the last nine years, the Argentine brewery subsidiary of the holding company AB InBev, reduced the use of water by 35 percent to make its drinks. Now, it uses three liters of water for every liter of beer brewed.
