Anheuser-Busch Signs Equal Pay Pledge

Anheuser-Busch is proud to be the first major brewer to sign the Equal Pay Pledge. We value equality throughout all levels of our organization, and believe diversity enriches our workforce. This commitment to inclusivity begins with our mission – to be the best beer company, bringing people together for a better world – and extends to our meritocracy-based compensation practices.

At Anheuser-Busch, we believe in equal pay for equal work. We use a rigorous and gender-blind compensation process that was developed and validated by independent experts. We recognize that there is still much work to do to create a truly equal playing field in the workforce. As the nation’s leading brewer, it’s our ambition to lead the change and create more opportunities for women in the beer industry.

Today, six of our 12 U.S. breweries are led by female head brewmasters, and women now represent the majority (51 percent) of our marketing organization. In support of our workforce and their families, this year we introduced a new parental leave policy that offers 100% paid Parental Bonding leave for all parents, on top of paid Maternity Leave for a birth mother.
