The agenda covers climate change, sustainable packaging and the circular economy, supporting local farmers and much more.

Asahi Beverages has unveiled a new sustainability agenda as it uses its significant scale to create a more sustainable future for Australia and New Zealand. The agenda introduces new targets while incorporating previously announced ones, helping protect our planet and build a more sustainable business. Asahi Beverages brands, from Cool Ridge water and Schweppes soft drinks to Victoria Bitter and Carlton Dry beer, will be even stronger because of our upgraded sustainability commitments.

The agenda covers climate change, sustainable packaging and the circular economy, supporting local farmers, and much more. The full list of targets is here and includes: – Source 100% of our purchased electricity from renewable sources by 2025 – Zero waste to landfill at our manufacturing sites or warehouses by 2030 – Reduce scope 3 CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030 and to net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

We are engaging our suppliers – from farmers to packaging companies to logistics – to help reduce CO2 emissions beyond our own business operations – All our packaging will be 100% recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025 – Transition to 100% eco-friendly materials for PET Bottles by 2030. Eco friendly means either compostable, bio based or 100% recycled content
