For generations, Anheuser-Busch has been promoting environmental stewardship at its breweries and operations across the country. In 2007, the brewer joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Leaders program and pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by five percent from 2005 through 2010. Through the dedication of its employees and continued use of alternative fuels, Anheuser-Busch has met its goal one-year ahead of schedule and was formally recognized for its accomplishment at the annual Climate Leaders Partners meeting on Dec. 2, 2009 in National Harbor, Md.
As part of receiving advanced certification of its goal from the Climate Leaders program, Anheuser-Busch's U.S. operations have committed to further decrease total greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent by the end of 2013 based on figures from 2008.
