Anheuser-Busch InBev launches Global Smart Drinking Goal
Leading global brewer aims to reduce harmful drinking by end of 2025 by:
- introducing multi-year city pilots to reduce the harmful use of alcohol by
- investing 1 billion USD in social marketing campaigns & related programs
- ensuring at least 20 percent of our global volume is No- or Lower-Alcohol [1]
- placing a guidance label on all products to increase alcohol health literacy
On December 9th, 2015, Anheuser-Busch InBev announced the launch of four Global Smart Drinking Goals, deepening its commitment to implement effective and collaborative solutions to reduce the harmful use of alcohol. The new goals, to be achieved by the end of 2025, demonstrate an evolution in the company’s approach to responsible drinking, from helping to raise awareness of alcohol responsibility to positively changing behavior by investing in longer-term, evidenced-based approaches to reduce harmful drinking, including underage drinking, binge drinking and drink driving.
“As the leading global brewer, we believe we have a unique role to play in championing a culture of smart drinking globally,” said Carlos Brito, CEO of Anheuser-Busch InBev. “For more than 30 years, we have invested in initiatives to promote responsible drinking and discourage harmful drinking. Now, we are taking our efforts to the next level, moving beyond awareness raising to driving real impact for the communities in which we live and work.”
