Water:
Our Performance
Molson Coors tracks water usage at each of our breweries in an effort to identify strategic ways in which we can use less water in production areas, reducing our impact on the environment and ensuring sustainable water sources.
Molson Coors’ water use in 2010 was down 5% over last year. In the brewing process, water usage is measured as the total volume of water used for each volume of beer produced. Molson Coors’ water use ratio is about 4.4hl/hl.
Water is also used for cleaning brew kettles, fermenting and aging tanks, and in the packaging lines. It is also needed for rinsing bottles and cans prior to packaging and some is used for cooling machinery. Also included in the equation is water used in buildings to support needs of the workforce. The vast majority of cleaning and rinsing water is treated to meet or exceed regulated standards, and then discharged.
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). It is our intention to move to more detailed water reporting including data by water source.
