Molson Coors has increased its water use by three percent and its solid waste generation by eight percent in 2009, compared to the previous year, according to the company’s 2010 online corporate responsibility report. The global brewer also decreased its energy use by nine percent and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 15 percent.
The brewer primarily attributes the water use increase to the company’s optimization of the MillerCoors network of multiple brands. However, Molson Coors said the optimization allowed for a reduction in CO2 emission resulting from lower route-to-market transportation costs that the joint venture between Molson Coors and SABMiller makes possible.
