OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMME

 

Our Sustainability Framework to Deliver Long-Term Value Responsibly

Our sustainability programme sets out our ambitions and commitments across the environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters that are most material to our business and to the wider society. It guides how sustainability considerations are integrated into our strategy, operations and decision-making across our operations in Malaysia and Singapore. 

The ESG programme is anchored in our purpose of Brewing for a Better Today and Tomorrow and embedded into our overall corporate strategy. We recognise that our sustainability performance influences not only our
environmental and social outcomes, but also our business performance and culture. Our programme is firmly anchored in the business through a robust governance model, described on page 80. 

As climate change and inequality continue to threaten our planet and societies around the world, we know that a firm commitment to sustainability remains critical for the future success and resilience of our business. More than just that, it is part of our DNA.

In March 2026, the Carlsberg Group transitioned to Brewing Tomorrow, marking the next phase in the evolution of Together Towards ZERO and Beyond. The updated programme reflects the changing nature of our business and society’s expectations, while maintaining continuity in our long-term ambitions. Brewing Tomorrow provides a clearer, more integrated framework to guide our actions and priorities going forward, accountability and progress over time.

Fit for the future and backed by science, it recommits our ambition to reducing our impact on the planet and people by tackling the issues that are most important to our business and to society. By cutting carbon, protecting nature, empowering people and inspiring choices, Brewing Tomorrow is our roadmap for action. It builds on nearly a decade of achievements and sets our renewed ambition to brew for a better today and tomorrow, while providing the framework that will guide our sustainability journey ahead.

As we work towards our sustainability goals, we continue to strengthen governance structures, develop focused strategies, allocate investments and take actions across our operations and value chain. These efforts support long-term business resilience while reinforcing our licence to operate and relationships with stakeholders, as we advance this agenda under Brewing Tomorrow.

Our Ambitions and Focus Areas
Our sustainability programme is organised around four pillars that address key impacts across our operations and value chain: cutting carbon, protecting nature, empowering people and inspiring choice.

Together, these ambition areas guide how we prioritise actions, measure progress and manage risks and opportunities related to climate, resources, people and product responsibility. 

In addition to these four pillars of action, the programme is supported by other material matters, as outlined on page 79.

These shape how sustainability is embedded into everyday decisions, behaviours and partnerships across the organisation.

We cannot achieve our targets on our own, and it is increasingly clear that partnerships and collaborations are critical to success. Across this value chain, from agricultural sourcing and packaging suppliers upstream, to our own production and distribution operations, to downstream sales, consumption and
packaging reuse and recycling, collaboration with employees, suppliers, customers and consumers is essential to delivering our Brewing Tomorrow ambitions in practice.

We look forward to ramping up our efforts, further ingraining ESG into our existing business operations and expanding on partnerships and industry collaborations as we continue our journey and beyond.

Every step we take as part of Brewing Tomorrow — cutting carbon, protecting nature, empowering our teams and inspiring consumer choices — brings us closer to a resilient future: for our business, our communities and our planet.
