MillerCoors sets new record for water conservation
2013 Sustainability Report highlights continued progress toward sustainability goals
MillerCoors is using less and less water to brew its beers, according to the 2013 MillerCoors Sustainability Report released today. The nation’s second-largest brewer decreased water use by 6.1 percent to a record low 3.82 barrels in 2012. By comparison, some U.S. breweries use as much as 6.62 barrels of water to produce a single barrel of beer[1].
“Our employees are the driving force behind our sustainability efforts,” says MillerCoors CEO Tom Long. “Whether it’s reducing water use in the brewery, finding ways to send zero waste to landfills or ensuring that our consumers get a safe ride home, our people are committed to doing the right thing.”
