Our ESG Approach

Together Towards ZERO
& Beyond

Our Together Towards ZERO and Beyond (TTZAB) programme consists of our ambitions and concrete targets that address the environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics that are most material to our business and to wider society. As we work to achieve these, we are taking actions and delivering results towards our milestones in 2030 and 2040.

TTZAB is our response to global challenges such as inequality, climate change and water scarcity, as well as society’s increasing focus on health and well-being. The programme is anchored in our purpose of brewing for a better today and tomorrow, and is embedded into our overall corporate strategy.

Consequently, in pursuit of our targets, we are working to manage our most material business impacts responsibly, while taking actions that contribute positively to society. We will achieve our targets in partnership with our suppliers, customers, consumers and the communities where we operate, going Towards ZERO and Beyond, Together.

In 2025, we delivered significant progress on our ESG agenda

We have reduced emissions at production sites and across the broader value chain, doubled the amount of water replenished at our sites in high-risk areas, and surpassed our 2030 target of 50% recycled content in bottles and cans. We have also seen strong developments in women in senior leadership, no- and low-alcohol brews and kept health and safety top of mind. Amid these developments, we have onboarded Britvic, the second-largest acquisition in Carlsberg’s history, into the Group. The significant progress in our organic development this year reflects our long-standing commitment to sustainability.

Check out some of our highlights below.
