Engagement for water saving solutions

For more than 20 years, we have been working to preserve water and reduce the consumption rate in our breweries, for which we have a team of technicians, managers and specialists who have achieved incredible results.
Our approach to managing water resources starts within our breweries with actions that increase the efficiency of water use, our operations have challenging targets for reducing consumption that are deployed across all areas and levels. We measure our efficiency on a daily basis, by controlling consumption by the various areas and equipment. Supported by a rigorous internal management system, which directs us to the most effective treatment of identified problems and mapping of opportunities.
Actions include investment in innovation, technology, active listening, sharing operational improvements and more efficient equipment . Among the actions stand out:
1) Internal effluent reuse plant at the breweries in Jaguariúna (SP) in 2016 and later expanded to the breweries in Aquiraz (CE), Equatorial (MA), Guarulhos (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Sete Lagoas (NM) ); 2) Replacement/retrofit of packaging equipment such as bottle washers, vacuum pumps, pasteurizers, among others, and 3) Optimization of asepsis and cleaning procedures
