The South African Breweries

As we look forward to celebrating World Water Day tomorrow the 22nd of March, we today showcased our water conservation efforts with our key partners and stakeholders at the Boland Mountain Nature Reserve. South Africa faces significant water loss due to invasive alien vegetation, such as Black Wattle, Eucalyptus, and Pine, which consume up to 60% more water than indigenous plants. Through targeted conservation efforts, SAB and it’s partners have cleared large tracts of these invasive species, restoring billions of litres of water to the ecosystem. By clearing invasive alien vegetation, we release more water into catchment areas, benefiting our whole value chain, including farmers, retailers and local communities. #CheersToNature #WorldWaterDay 

Today we are hosting our World Water Day Immersion at the Boland Mountain Nature Reserve, and welcome our Global AB InBev CEO Michel Doukeris, Chief Sustainability Officer Ingrid De Ryck, Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis and our dedicated partners The Nature Conservancy, WWF as well as key stakeholders. This day marks a celebration of World Water Day as we come together as partners in nature and highlight the importance of water and our commitment to responsible water management, which has an impact on our business, communities and environment, especially in a water-scarce country like South Africa. #WorldWaterDay #CheersToNature

It’s in our nature to protect water. We are committed to safeguarding watersheds and supporting the communities that rely on them. This #WorldWaterDay on the 22nd of March, we celebrate the world’s most precious resource. #CheersToNature #FutureWithMoreCheers

As we near World Water Day on the 22nd of March, we recognize that water is our #1 ingredient and is vital to beer and our business, and sustains the communities we serve.   This upcoming World Water Day, we would like to shed light on water scarcity in South Africa and how we are committed to responsible water management.
