About Bud Light NEXT

At Anheuser-Busch, sustainability is not just part of our business, it is our business. Beer is a natural product and a healthy environment is a key ingredient in the brewing process. That's why, as the country's leading brewer, we are committed to making a meaningful impact by protecting the environment across our entire supply chain - from seed to sip - and inspiring our partners to do the same. That means doing our part to reduce the environmental impact of our brewing and logistics operations, including by investing in water conservation and improving energy efficiency across every aspect of our business. In 2021, we set an ambition to achieve net zero by 2040, with decarbonization as our key strategy to achieve this ambition.

01 Measure

Bud Light NEXT measured Scope 1, 2 and 3 cradle-to-customer emissions following categories and approaches established in the Climate Neutral standards.

02 Offset

Bud Light NEXT invested in projects outside of their value chain to compensate for all of their measured carbon emissions. This step supports their climate neutrality designation, and enables Bud Light NEXT to take responsibility for historical emissions that can’t be reduced.

03 Reduce

Bud Light NEXT is implementing a Reduction Action Plan to reduce emissions from within its own operations and supply chain.

What is Climate Neutrality

A state in which human activities result in no net effect on the climate system. Requires balancing of residual greenhouse gas emissions with reductions or removals. All Climate Neutral Certified brands must meet climate neutrality standards for measuring, offsetting, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making and delivering products and services.
