Anheuser-Busch Announces New Watershed Partnership with The Nature Conservancy

From Anheuser-Busch:

ST. LOUIS, MO –  Anheuser-Busch today announced that it is partnering with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to improve water quality, enhance the health of river basins, and help meet the water needs of a number of its local communities. More details of the projects — which are part of a larger global partnership with TNC announced earlier this year by the brewer’s parent company, AB InBev — will be shared in 2019.

“As the nation’s leading brewer, our company is committed to a cleaner and more sustainable world – and water conservation is crucial to that commitment,” said Adam Warrington, Vice President, Better World at Anheuser-Busch. “The Nature Conservancy has been working tirelessly in the U.S. and around the world to help ensure a water-secure future. Through this U.S. partnership, we look forward to creating practical solutions to help protect our watersheds.”

The new partnership supports Anheuser-Busch’s U.S. 2025 Sustainability Goals, announced in April this year. As part of the Water Stewardship goal, Anheuser-Busch plans for 100% of its facilities to be engaged in water efficiency efforts, and to ensure that 100% of communities in high-stress areas have measurably improved water availability and quality.
