ESG Results for 2024

In 2024, our ‘Net-zero carbon emission’ and specific ‘Forest, Land, and Agriculture’ targets were validated by SBTi. Absolute ESG numbers are significantly impacted by acquisitions and higher activity, however improving in relative terms.

ESG Results in 2024

• The share of CSD volumes with no/low sugar content increased to 62% in 2024 (2023: 59%)
• Consumption of energy increased by 16% in 2024 to 304 GWh (2023: 262 GWh), while energy intensity decreased by 7% to 18.7 kWh/hl in 2024 (2023: 20.2)
• The share of renewable energy consumption increased to 54% (2023: 42%)
• Consumption of water increased by 33% in 2024 to 62.2 million hl (2023: 39.4 million hl), while water intensity increased to 3.2 hl/hl (2023: 3.0)
• Absolute CO2 emissions Scope 1+2 (market based) decreased by 4% in 2024 to 29.1 million kgCO2 (2023: 30.2 million kgCO2), while CO2 intensity (CO2/ hL) decreased by 22% in 2024 to 1.8 (2023: 2.3) (market based)
• Lost Time Incidents frequency (LTI) decreased slightly to 12.8 per 1 million working hours in 2024 (2023: 13.0), which is still not satisfactory

ESG focus areas in 2025

• Focus on actions to reduce CO2 emissions for Scope 3, while continuing our own decarbonization roadmap for scope 1 and 2
• Increase efforts on water and nature stewardship
• Improving our safety performance and culture will be a top priority in 2025
