substantially in the past few years , we have found that every deal we do leads to a guaranteed lower cost of power versus grid-available in each of our locations ,” Frost explains . “ It ’ s really a win-win-win : a win for us , a win for the environment , and a win for the local grid .” In addition , the company ’ s Climate Action pledge includes a commitment to reduce carbon emissions across its value chain by 25 %. To tackle this , AB
InBev worked with a carbon disclosure project in 2017 to set a baseline for its supply bases ’ CO2 emissions and subsequently set goals for those suppliers to cut their emissions .
Frost adds that realisation of its ambitious goals across each of AB InBev ’ s pillars has been driven in part by its sustainability accelerator , set up to define the challenges the supply chain transformation poses in relation to those goals and inviting startups to solve them . “ We gave those startups some additional seed capital and inserted them along our supply chain , enabling them to grow faster by working directly with the people in it ,” says Frost , citing its blockchain platform as an example of the success the accelerator has produced . “ That ’ s been extremely successful , so we have a number of startups which are growing very quickly as a result of having that involvement in our supply chain .”
