the project. That way they can see who is
“Performance Leader” within areas such as
productivity (volume produced per employee),
energy consumption, shrinkage, etc. In addition,
the benchmarking system generates calculations
of potential savings as each brewery is compared
with the “Performance Leader” within its own
group.
According to the benchmarking system, Carlsberg’s
breweries are some of the most productive
in the world and their average performance is high
by international standards.
Carlsberg has implemented a global environmental
management system that includes all
Group breweries and is based on local environmental
management.
The technology organisation’s service functions
for own breweries and licence partners are handled
by the subsidiary Danbrew Ltd. A/S, among
others.
The environment
All breweries in which Carlsberg holds the
controlling interest must comply with the environmental
policy and consistently work to implement
further improvements both as regards resource
consumption and discharge management, etc.
In accordance with Carlsberg’s environmental
policy, the local management of each brewery is
fully liable for the day-to-day environmental management.
Carlsberg’s reporting system forms the
basis for the local environmental management and
the system ensures that the local brewery as well
as the Group can document that the environmental
policy is being observed. The results contained
in the reports are checked by Carlsberg Corporate
Operations Control.
Carlsberg’s environmental policy
• Carlsberg recognises its responsibility as
regards protection of the environment wherever
Carlsberg operates.
• Carlsberg will seek to meet the needs of the
consumers, customers, and employees in an
environmentally sound and sustainable
manner, through continuous improvement in
environmental performance in all Group
activities.
