Water is a key ingredient in the brewing process, because 90% of beer consists of water. For that reason, water is among the main priorities of the Sustainable Development Strategy for both Carlsberg Ukraine and Carlsberg Group.

In 2016, Carlsberg Group worked with WWF to identify water risks at the Group’s plants against different indicators of water quantity and quality. Research has shown that in 2019 we are faced with even more ambitious goals as to improving the efficiency of water consumption, through which the company can contribute to meeting the UN’s global SDG targets that aim for universal access to safely managed water and sanitation services around the world by 2030. One of UN’s targets is to reduce the wastage of water that can be utilized and to increase the amount of recycled and treated water.
