Environmental performance of European brewers

We have found that European brewers are becoming more water and energy efficient. The Brewers of Europe commissioned a study from us and KWA Bedrijfsadviseurs B.V. to quantify environmental key performance indicators for European breweries and to look for trends in performance over the period 2008 to 2010. Data on environmental performance were obtained from 156 breweries, representing 62% of the total beer production volume (in 2010) in the 30 European countries included in the study (EU-27, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey). Overall, the data show a continuous improvement in water and energy efficiency in the brewing industry over the period from 2008 to 2010. The full report is available at www.brewersofeurope.org/asp/publications/index.asp. If you are looking to have an independent environmental assessment of your operations, then we can help.
