Water is an important raw material for our business. It is used as a raw material for the brewing of our beer, but also as a utility for cleaning, cooling and heating. The primary objective of our water strategy is to reduce usage of utility water by carrying out cleaning processes more efficiently and improving heat exchange processes. In addition, we also aim to achieve further reductions in the organic load and nitrogen and phosphorous discharges into the environment. The performance data for water are gathered through the same environmental monitoring system that we described in the first paragraph.
Our water sources are ground water, city water, surface water and sea water. More information about this subject can be found on our website: www.heinekeninternational.com.
