Activities in 2007
In Irkutsk (Russia), specific water consumption decreased due to the technical improvement of the cooling plant. In Sterlitamak (Russia), better utilisation of our production lines led to improved efficiency in the consumption of water and in St. Petersburg (Russia) more rigorous and effective cleaning procedures were implemented and the water infrastructure was modified. In Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), waste water was used as an alternative to mains water for landscaping and horticulture on the brewery site. Finally, in Lagos (Nigeria), a number of smaller projects in brewing and bottling resulted in water savings.
During 2007, we commissioned a new waste-water treatment plant at our Aba plant in Lagos (Nigeria). In addition, four more African waste-water treatment plant projects were continued in Bujumbura (Burundi), Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo), Brazzaville (Congo) and Kigali (Rwanda).
