The research project highlighted that only seven companies out of the 20 have reported setting concrete targets for reducing water use or emissions into water. Among those, the brewer Heineken has set clear targets. As clean water is essential to brewing and packaging beer (including the cleaning of the returned bottles), Heineken aims to decrease the amount of water needed to brew and to limit the potential negative environmental effects of discharging waste water (cleaning waste water coming from its breweries). Toward these goals, targets have been set (Heineken, 2007):

-

All breweries to use a maximum of 7 hectolitre (hl) of water for 1 hl of beer brewed;

-

By the end of 2010, the average water consumption should be below 4.6 hl for 1 hl of beer;

-

By 2012, to complete the installation of 16 waste-water treatment plants in Africa and the Middle East.
