Accelerating Impact

In 2025, we continued the strong focus on building resilience and enhancing efficiency across our operations through targeted optimizations and investments. The CSD (carbonated soft drinks) share of volume and market with no/low sugar content increased during the year driven by strong innovations. We stepped up on safety management resulting in significantly improved performance. Our CO2e roadmap for the near-term (2030) shows good progress with emission reductions mainly based on enhanced supplier engagement. Overall, we are on track to deliver on our near-term sustainability goals. 

ESG Results for 2025

  • The share of CSD revenue with no/low sugar content increased to 68% in 2025 (2024: 62%), driven by the continued growth in demand for no/low products and our introduction of great tasting no/low sugar innovations 

  • Water usage decreased 4% in 2025 to 50.3 mhl (2024: 52.2 mhl), and water intensity improved by 5% to 3.1 hl/hl (2024: 3.2), primarily driven by investments in new production equipment at our San Giorgio brewery in Italy

  • Energy usage increased by 1% in 2025 to 307 GWh (2024: 304 GWh), while energy intensity remained unchanged 18.7 kWh/hl in 2025 (2024: 18.7)

  • Absolute CO2e emissions from scope 1, 2 and 3 (SBTi, market-based) decreased by 10% in 2025 to 465 mkgCO2e (2024: 515 mkgCO2e) also reflected in the CO2e intensity kgCO2e per hl decrease of 11% from 2024 to 2025

  • Lost Time Incidents frequency (LTIF) decreased significantly by 31% to 8.9 per one million working hours in 2025 (2024: 12.8). This was achieved through enhanced management focus, more resources, training and awareness in all our markets
