Ab Inbev

AB InBev, a Belgium-headquartered beverage industry leader, has set ambitious climate commitments and reports comprehensive emissions data.

In 2025, AB InBev's total reported carbon emissions are projected to be approximately 22.14 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 2.51 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of around 600 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of roughly 19.03 billion kg CO2e. Key categories within Scope 3 include purchased goods and services (approximately 11.97 billion kg CO2e), use of sold products (around 4.16 billion kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (approximately 2.16 billion kg CO2e).

Looking back, the company's total emissions were approximately 23.62 billion kg CO2e in 2024 and 25.83 billion kg CO2e in 2023. This indicates a declining trend in total reported emissions.

AB InBev has committed to significant reduction targets:

• Net Zero: The company aims to achieve net zero across its entire value chain by 2040. This ambition covers Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
• Near-Term Absolute Reductions (Scopes 1 & 2): AB InBev is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 35% by 2025, using a 2017 baseline. This target aligns with the 1.5°C pathway recommended by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company reported a 39.2% reduction in Scopes 1 and 2 GHG absolute emissions versus the 2017 baseline as of 2022, demonstrating good progress towards this target.
• Renewable Electricity: The company is committed to increasing its annual sourcing of renewable electricity to 100% by 2025 from a 7% baseline in 2016. This commitment is expected to reduce their operational carbon footprint by 30% and has enabled them to join RE100.
• Value Chain Reductions (Scopes 1, 2 & 3): AB InBev also commits to reducing emissions across the value chain (Scopes 1, 2, and 3) by 25% per beverage by 2025, from a 2017 base year. Approximately 87% of their Scope 3 emissions are included in this target, covering categories such as purchased goods and services, upstream transportation, fuel and energy-related activities, use of sold products, and end-of-life treatment of sold products.

AB InBev's climate commitments are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative, reinforcing their dedication to mitigating the impacts of climate change. Their near-term Scope 1 and 2 targets are classified as consistent with reductions required to keep warming to 1.5°C.
