A corporate wide Energy Council reporting directly to the Global Chief Supply Chain Officer develops, plant by plant, country and global energy targets and specific projects for their achievement. The management plan and targets are embedded in the company's annual operating plan and long range plan. Our program focuses on continuous improvement of both technical and management factors. The technical approach uses focused brewery energy assessments and industry benchmarking to identify opportunities for energy efficiency and reduction. We then prioritize the energy opportunities with the goals of the business.

Molson Coors' emission efficiency has improved by 14% since the 2008 baseline. Our target is 7% by the end of 2012 (Scope 1 & 2), meaning that we have reduced emissions by twice the initial goal, in the first half of our set time.  In 2010 we saw a 3% decrease in energy use over the previous year.

This year's greenhouse gas emissions have been calculated using the latest available internationally accepted conversion factors, except electricity factors in the US which is based on the 2007 GRID2007 Version 1.1, January 2009. The data has been reviewed with reference to the WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standards.

Molson Coors evaluated and disclosed climate change risk to investors in our 2011 10K.
The data below is for Molson Coors Brewing Company (Molson Coors Canada and Molson Coors UK & Ireland) and MillerCoors (due to our 42% equity share we account for 42% of their environmental impact).

*In 2009 we enhanced the boundaries of our GHG emission inventory. In the UK and Canada fleet vehicles, offices and warehouses were included that were previously excluded.

** In 2010 we revised how we report purchased CO2. For the UK this meant moving purchased CO2 to Scope 3, for the US 50% of purchased CO2 is reported as fugitive emissions (Scope 1) and the other 50% as Scope 3.

***In Scope 3 we report UK business travel, transportation and distribution, waste generated in operations, barley deliveries, purchased CO2, emissions from the National Distribution Center and emissions from purchased goods and services.
