Custom Reporting
How Does Custom Reporting Work?
There are two ways to create your custom Molson Coors corporate responsibility report. You can browse the Responsibility section of our website and select Add to My Report for topics that interest you; or, you can go to our custom report builder (link to report builder page) and check the box next to each topic to prepare a report built just for you.
Environmental Stewardship:
Waste Reduction
One of the ways we work to reduce our environmental impact is by minimizing the amount of waste we generate, and recycling and reusing materials wherever possible. In the words of Bill Coors, grandson of the brewery’s founder, “Waste is a resource out of place.”
MCBC (UK& Ireland) has a target of zero waste to landfill by the end of 2012. They are on target to meet that currently diverting 99.2%. Canada has a target to reduce waste to landfill by 5% year on year, targeting only sending 11.6% to landfill in 2012. Canada has already achieved 87% diverted from landfill. This is almost 48,000 tonnes diverted in 2011. In the US, MillerCoors has a 2015 goal to reduce waste to landfill by 50%. Four years ago, they established a goal to reduce waste to landfill by 15% by 2015 from a 2008 baseline. By the end of 2010, MillerCoors had achieved their goal and succeeded in reducing waste by 32%. They have now increased the goal to reduce waste to landfill 50% by 2015. By the end of 2011, they reduced waste to landfill by 55%.

We are exploring ways to reduce unnecessary supply chain waste by collaborating and sharing best practices with industry bodies such as the UK IGD Efficient Consumer Response Food and Packaging Waste working group, and by signing up to WRAP’s Courtauld Commitment to support the industry in reducing overall supply chain waste.
In several of our breweries, carbon dioxide released during fermentation is collected and reused in the carbonation process. In others, brewing byproducts are harnessed to create methane gas, which is sent back into the brewery to fuel the boilers. And, across our business, spent grains (barley, wheat and oats) are sold to local farmers for livestock feed or fertilizer.
