The Science Based Targets initiative defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting and independently assesses and approves companies' targets. It is a partnership between CDP, the United Nations Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).

We have committed to reducing absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 100% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year[1]. We've also committed to reducing absolute scope 3 GHG emissions 50% within the same time frame. In addition to this, we commit to increase the annual sourcing of renewable electricity from 66% in FY2020 to 100% by FY2030.

In November 2020, we announced a range of 25 bold and ambitious goals in our 'Society 2030: Spirit of Progress' plan. We're now focusing our action in three core areas, carefully selected to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): promoting positive drinking; championing inclusion and diversity; and pioneering grain-to-glass sustainability.
