BRUSSELS, Belgium (March 15, 2010) – Anheuser-Busch InBev announced today a set of aggressive three-year global environmental goals as part of its Better World commitment, including a water usage goal for plants of 3.5 hectoliters of water for each hectoliter of production by the end of 2012. Achieving this goal would establish AB InBev as the most water-efficient global brewer in the world. The new usage level will represent a 30 percent reduction per unit of production in the Company’s water usage worldwide since 2007, saving enough water to fill 25,000 Olympic-size swimming pools1. In 2007, water use in AB InBev’s plants was 5.03 hectoliters per hectoliter of production; in 2009, water use was 4.3 hectoliters per hectoliter of production.

Today, many companies are 'going green.' But
at Anheuser-Busch, we're proud to say our tradition of environmental stewardship dates back to our founder, Adolphus
Busch. In the late 1800s, he began recycling leftover grain from the brewing process, using it for cattle feed, a practice
that continues today.
Anheuser-Busch and its nationwide network of 600 wholesalers are proud to be industry leaders in alcohol responsibility. For nearly three decades, we've invested more than $750 million in community-based programs and national advertising campaigns to promote responsible drinking and help prevent underage drinking and drunk driving.
At Anheuser-Busch, philanthropic outreach is at the
core of our business philosophy. Our company has long used the slogan 'Making Friends is our Business,' and we extend
that belief to the communities in which we do business and where our employees live and work.
