AB InBev India has many global and local brands in its portfolio. What these brands stand for and who
they cater to can be found out with some primary and secondary research. While all our brands have
unique propositions, there is tremendous potential & opportunity to leverage sustainaibilty through
our brand strategies in IndiaWATER STEWARDSHIP
Our water stewardship goal states that “100% of our communities in high stress areas should have
measurably improved water availability and quality by 2025".
Water has been a key focus in India as 5 of our breweries (1 in Rajasthan, 1 in Haryana, 1 in
Maharasthva, 2 in Telangana) are located in high water stress areas. The sustainability team has been
active in this space with some of the key initiatives being ~
mB Water ATMs ~ Clean drinking water access for communities near our breweries by
installing water ATMs that purify groundwater through an extensive process and provide
drinking water to nearby communities at the rate of Rs. 3 for 20 liters
@ Groundwater Recharge Structures - Creating community ground water recharge
structures like village ponds with groundwater recharge shafts and check-dams with aim
of recharging more than twice the amount of groundwater that our breweries consume
for making beer
ml Farm Ponds — Making farm ponds for farmers so they can harvest rainwater and use it for
irrigation instead of relying solely on groundwater

We are inspired by the way Stella Artois has championed sustainability globally.
Water has been integral to Stella Artois’ 600-year brewing heritage. The Stella Artois “Buy A Lady A
Drink” initiative was launched in 2015 in partnership with Waterorg, a leading international
nonprofit, to help mitigate the global water crisis. The campaign is now active in ten countries
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Mexico, South Africa, U.K, Uruguay & US.

In 2017, Stella Artois and Water.org announced a new four-year commitment to help provide 3.5
million people in the developing world with long-term, sustainable access to clean water by 2020
Stella Artois doesn't have a big presence in India and neither is the campaign active here.
We want to create a similar success story with another initiative and a different brand.
A few (directional not exhaustive) questions need to be answered before kicking-off this exercise:
|B Who could be our potential external partners for collaboration?
| What should be the communication themes?
Whats the opportunity for deployment in India?
BE Which existing initiatives can we re-deploy?
NE Whatare the organic brands who we can leverage for the initiatives?
