SUSTAINABILITY

We’re achieving carbon neutrality through supporting a VCS-certified carbon offset project: Clean wind energy with various social benefits for Brazilian communities This carbon offset project comprises the implantation and operation of 14 wind power plants in the states of Piauí and Pernambuco in the northeast of Brazil. The clean and renewable electricity delivered to Brazilian Interconnected System by the project provides an important contribution to environmental sustainability by reducing carbon dioxide emissions that otherwise would have occurred in the absence of the project, through fossil fuel-based electricity generation. The relevant socioeconomic and environmental co-benefits of this project are also listed to reflect the important actions that are been implemented alongside with the energy generation. The project’s specific focus on the necessities of the local communities through collective construction helps to transform realities and collaborate to a legacy in the territory generating shared value for the stakeholders. How does wind energy help fight global warming? Since wind energy is created without burning fossil fuels, it is considered emission-free. The growth of renewable energy production is essential to limiting global warming and securing energy supplies for the future. The amount of emissions saved by a wind power project is calculated using the baseline method: how much CO2 would be released by generating the same amount of energy using standard energy production methods for the region? The second phase is where we can make the biggest difference, by lowering our emissions as much as possible throughout our business and supply chain. The largest contributor to the carbon footprint generated by our beers is ***. Our attention is now focused on***. So, we’ll keep offsetting what we produce to minimise our impact on the planet, whilst in the background we continue to work hard to actively reduce our emissions across every touch point of our business.
