AB InBev harbours significant sustainability goals and is aiming to create a “ company to last ” through its green approach and initiatives

Anheuser-Busch InBev ( AB InBev ) is “ building a company to last ”, and this claim has historically been backed by its strong consciousness of the environment and supply chain ethics . As procurement and sustainability have become more central to many businesses ’ operations worldwide , so too has their inextricable relationship . AB InBev is one company whose sustainability-driven business ethos hasn ’ t been born during this new era of climate consciousness ; instead , it has been supercharged by it .

The realisation of the company ’ s 2025 Sustainability Goals , informed by reflection on the United Nations ’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ), relies on the strength of AB InBev ’ s procurement function in environmental and economic ethics , and in developing robust supply chains that ensure smooth business operations whilst having a positive impact on communities and the natural world . Across its global operations , AB InBev serves and operates in territories across the market readiness spectrum . At AB InBev Africa , a microcosm of that spectrum can be seen across the continent ’ s markets , and rising to the strategic dynamism needed for this environment is a core focus of procurement .
