At Anheuser-Busch, we have a simple philosophy. We strive, in all we do, to ensure that we produce the highest quality products, provide

the best consumer experience, and create maximum value for our shareholders.

And while doing that, we also recognize our responsibility to improve the world where we do business. As we have now combined with InBev to become a part of Anheuser-Busch InBev, we are proud to play a meaningful role in the global corporate mission to become the Best Beer Company in a Better World. We are all citizens of the world — together — and together we must find ways to put social responsibility into action. It’s this commitment that we highlight in our 2007 Corporate Social responsibility (CSr) report.

We have a long tradition of doing all we can to ensure that our products are enjoyed responsibly. Our responsibility initiatives, along with the work of many others, have helped significantly reduce drunk-driving fatalities and prevent underage drinking over the years. Since 1982, Anheuser-Busch and our wholesalers across the country have invested more than three-quarters of a billion dollars in responsibility efforts, a commitment no other alcohol company even comes close to matching. And our efforts in this area will continue long into the future.

For more than a century, we’ve supported efforts to help improve the environment, and we pursue new technologies to help us in our four-pronged environmental strategy, which is to reduce, reuse, recycle and renew. In 1899, we began reselling leftover grains from the brewing process as animal feed in an effort to reuse byproducts of our production process, a practice that continues today. We were working on water conservation efforts as early as the 1940s as we sought to reduce consumption within our processes.

Our breweries are largely powered by natural gas – the cleanest form of fossil fuel, and as this commodity cost rises, we’re exploring new methods for gener-ating energy. Our Bio-Energy recovery Systems at nine — soon to be 10 — of our 12 domestic breweries and one in China, convert wastewater from the brewing process into renewable energy that provides up to 15 percent of the energy needed. We’re proud to be the world’s largest operator of this technology.

And this year, we partnered to start a new project where we’ll be using methane gas from a neighboring landfill to help power our Houston brewery. And we’re also exploring the use of solar and wind technology at our Fairfield, Calif., brewery and the use of solid fuel boilers at our Northeast breweries — all in an effort to be more energy efficient and meet the ambitious goals outlined in our report.

Beyond this, we continually work to reduce material used in our packaging, with signifi-cant success over the past several years. By simply reducing the diameter of our can lid, we’ve been able to save about 20 million pounds of aluminum per year. This, along with our aluminum recycling efforts where we recycle five cans for every four we package domestically, enables us to use less new aluminum, as well as less energy in production.

Our social responsibility review would not be complete without considering our charitable donations and disaster relief efforts. In the past decade alone, Anheuser-Busch and its foundation have contributed more than $370 million to non-profit organizations. In the past two decades, we’ve also donated more than 63 million cans of fresh drinking water to victims of natural disasters — two million cans in just the past 18 months. In times of need, Anheuser-Busch has always been and will continue to be a source of support.

All of these efforts are possible thanks to our great employees. By showing respect for our people through competitive compensation, benefits and a safe work environment, we tap into their innate desire to help our cause as a responsible corporate citizen.

And our work has been noticed. For the fifth year in a row, Anheuser-Busch earned the No. 1 ranking in the beverage industry for social responsibility in FORTUNE magazine’s most admired companies U.S. and global lists.

This is a time of excitement and change for our company, yet one constant remains — Anheuser-Busch’s social responsibility efforts that will support our dream of being the Best Beer Company in a Better World.

Corporate Social Responsibility Overview

From our recycling leftover grain from the brewing process that was started in 1899 by our founder, Adolphus Busch, to our being the first company to air a responsible drinking television ad in 1985, to our donation of fresh drinking water to victims of Hurricane Ike in August 2008, giving back is part of our company’s support of the communities in which we do business.

Our social responsibility initiatives fall into five main areas.

Responsibility This covers our commitment to providing quality products, to ensuring that we market them responsibly, and to being part of the solution to alcohol issues, including drunk driving and underage drinking.

Environment We focus our efforts on water conservation, energy conservation and renewable energy, recycling and packaging, and wildlife habitat preserva­tion. And we work up and down the value chain to help our suppliers

understand, support and work with us on our social responsibility initiatives.

People When it comes to our employees, we strive to support inclusion, promote health and wellness, and provide a safe work environment, competitive compen­sation and benefits, and professional development opportunities.

Community Our efforts focus on supporting organizations and causes related to education, health care and human services, minority leadership and economic devel opment, civic, cultural enrichment and environmental stewardship.

Accountability We are guided by our commitment to ethical business prac­tices, our abidance by all applicable state and federal regulations, and our support of local and national economies through our tax and wage contributions.

Anheuser­Busch continues to be recog­nized as an industry leader on the social responsibility front. In 2008, for the fifth

year in a row, Anheuser­Busch ranked first in the beverage industry for social responsibility in FORTUNE magazine’s “America’s Most Admired Companies” and “Global Most Admired Companies” lists. We also ranked second in social responsibility among all companies in the “Global Most Admired Companies” list.

RepoRt ScopeThis is the company’s first Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Report, which presents key performance indicator (KPI) data and information from calendar year 2007. Select highlights and ongoing projects from 2008 are included as well. Anheuser­Busch has issued an annual Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Report since 1997, and that KPI data and performance highlights are now reflected in the corresponding Environmental and People sections of this report. In addition, much of the data presented here has been tracked and used for decades publicly and made available through other reports and Web sites.

At Anheuser­Busch, our longtime belief has been “Making Friends

is Our Business.” And nowhere is that philosophy more evident than

in our company’s social responsibility efforts.

The information presented in this report represents all facilities within our major production and services businesses over which Anheuser­Busch maintains operational control:

All major U.S. operations

1 brewery in Mortlake, United Kingdom

1 brewery in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China

We have begun to integrate Harbin, acquired in late 2004, into our EHS data collection and reporting processes. Harbin safety data for 2006 and 2007 are included in this report.

To determine what information was most important to include in our CSR report, we worked with the leading non­profit CSR organization, Business for Social Responsibility (BSR), on a materiality analysis. This process involved stake­holders from departments across the

company who participated in a mapping session that identified the issues of greatest importance from a business and social responsibility perspective. In turn, we also heard from some key external stakeholders regarding issues they felt were important for our company to report.

From the materiality analysis, we determined that our report should have a primary focus on two key areas, responsible drinking initiatives and environmental practices. While we have seen significant declines in drunk driving and underage drinking, these issues continue to be of concern to our nation, and Anheuser­Busch has been working to be part of the solution for more than 25 years.

On the environmental impact front, water and energy are the issues of greatest importance to our business. Helping protect our water sources and conserving water in our brewing

processes, while always important, were highlighted in 2007 due to the drought in the Southeast near our Cartersville, Ga., brewery and Rome, Ga., can plant operations. In turn, conserving energy is a daily priority in our operations, and we continued our exploration of new renewable energy projects.

In addition, this report also highlights our commitment to our employees, as well as our assistance to the communities in which we operate through our charitable giving and positive economic impacts.

We consulted the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Guidelines to assist in the presentation and content of our data. Content owners in each department were then responsible for collecting and verifying KPI data and information used in this report. The Anheuser­Busch EHS Policy and Management System continues to apply to all of our subsidiaries, where facilities gather data and confirm accuracy before sending the information to either the EHS manager at the operating subsidiary or directly to Environmental Affairs and Corporate Safety and Risk Management, as appropriate. Data are maintained securely back to at least 1991 and reported for the previous five years.

About ouR coRpoRAte SociAl ReSponSibility GRoupTo better focus the company’s social responsibility initiatives, in 2007, we renamed and reorganized our Consumer Affairs Group to become the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Group. The CSR Group developed our unified platform of Responsibility, Environment, Community, People, Accountability with input from senior management and key stakeholders within the company to strategically highlight and enhance our leadership role in the various areas of corporate social responsibility that are critical to success in today’s global business environment.

Anheuser­Busch continues to be recognized as

an industry leader on the social responsibility front.

At Anheuser-Busch, our philosophy is

that we brew our beers to be enjoyed

responsibly by adults.

Overview

We are proud to be the global industry leader in promoting responsibility with efforts dating back to the early 1900s, when the company ran a series of print ads with the tagline “Budweiser Means Moderation.” Today, our “responsibility Matters” campaign provides a clear, concise reminder that one of the best solutions to addressing alcohol abuse is to emphasize personal responsibility.

We have long acknowledged the serious-ness of abusive drinking and devoted considerable resources to addressing it. Since we first introduced our “Know When to Say When” campaign back in 1982, the investment by the company and our network of wholesalers on responsibility efforts to help prevent alcohol abuse, including drunk driving and underage drinking, has surpassed $750 million.

We regularly track progress and monitor public comment on alcohol issues and adjust our programming and education efforts accordingly. In fact, research is the foundation of all our efforts to develop and implement responsibility initiatives. This research takes many forms, including government, university, third-party and proprietary data. This research also serves as an important checks and balances measure to ensure our efforts remain relevant and effective.

We also know that it takes teamwork to fight alcohol abuse, which is why we regularly join with parents, educators, community groups, law enforcement, government officials, retailers and others on developing and implementing our respon-sibility initiatives. In 2007, wholesalers had contact with more than 103,000 local community groups to promote alcohol awareness and education programs.

cODes AnD guiDelinesAnheuser-Busch follows the voluntary Beer Institute (BI) Advertising and Marketing Code, as well as our own Product Placement Guidelines and International Advertising and Marketing Code. In addition, Anheuser-Busch was the first brewer to develop its own College Marketing Code and distribute it annually to colleges across the country. Every Anheuser-Busch employee, wholesaler and outside agency whose responsibilities include advertising and marketing beer receives a copy of these codes on an annual basis. For more information and to view the codes, visit www.beerespon-sible.com/advertising-policy.html.

In addition, the following steps summarize the development, review and placement of our ad concepts.

The Advertising Industry Code of Ethical Standards Advertising agen-cies have their own industry code of ethical standards that they abide by when creating an advertising idea. www.aaaa.org/eweb/upload/inside/standards.pdf.

Storyboard and Script Review Agency ideas are reviewed in storyboard and/or script form by Anheuser-Busch’s Marketing Department.

Corporate Social Responsibility Review As part of Anheuser-Busch’s advertising checks and balances, at the request of the Marketing Department, the Corporate Social responsibility Group reviews ads to help ensure the messages adhere to standards of candor and good taste, portray beer responsibly and are directed toward the intended audience — adults of legal purchase and drinking age. All Anheuser-Busch brand ads and point-of-sale materials also include a responsibility reminder.

Responsible Marketing Anheuser-Busch’s commitment to leadership and excellence

extends beyond producing high-quality, innovative products. It also

includes selling and marketing those products responsibly.

responsibil ity responsible marketing anheuser-busch, inc. 9

Legal Review All Anheuser-Busch advertising is formally reviewed by the company’s Legal Department before it is cleared to air.

Focus Groups Many times commercials in their storyboard or scripted form are researched via focus groups of the general public 21 years of age or older, including opinion leaders, parents and adult beer drinkers to ensure they appeal to the appropriate audience, support the company and brand image and contain no moral or ethical issues.

Television Networks Standards and Practices The networks thoroughly review every advertisement before approving it to air in order to ensure that the ads comply with their own advertising Network Standards.

Ultimately, the final arbiter of what is appropriate and “in good taste” is the public — whose goodwill the company must maintain in order to operate as a business. We take pride in the fact that complaints about our advertising are a very small percentage of total customer contacts.

The BI Code includes a provision that offers independent review of advertising for consumers who are dissatisfied with a brewer’s response to a complaint. The Code Compliance review Board (CCrB) is made up of individuals with demonstrated integrity and financial independence from the industry, expertise in contemporary advertising and familiarity with aspects of government alcohol policy and related issues. In 2007, the CCrB reviewed four complaints against Anheuser-Busch, and all were decided in our favor. The CCrB annual report is available at www.beerinstitute.org.

Anheuser-Busch limits access to our beer-related Web sites to adults 21 or older. All Anheuser-Busch beer-related Web sites feature an age-check system, as recommended in reports issued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 1999 and 2003. In addition, we provide our beer-branded sites’ Web addresses to companies that offer parental control software so parents may block their children’s access to the site, if they choose. The company’s responsibility Web site, www.beeresponsible.com, is solely dedicated to our efforts to promote responsible drinking and discourage alcohol abuse.

PrODuct revieWsIn early 2007, we discontinued production of our caffeinated alcohol beverage Spykes because the criticism this product received — while wholly unfounded — detracted from our efforts to promote responsibility. The product was criticized for its size, as being easy to steal or hide, and its flavors, as appealing to underage people. However, there were more than 50 other alcohol

products available in 50 ml bottles in all colors and flavors, the majority of which were hard liquor with three to four times the alcohol content of Spykes. At 12 percent alcohol by volume, which is similar to wine in alcohol content, Spykes was the lowest alcohol content product in this market segment. Nevertheless, we discontinued Spykes to retain our position as the clear industry leader in responsibility.

Again in June 2008, we responded to unfounded criticism by changing our product offering to demonstrate leadership in responsibility. Working in cooperation with attorneys general (AGs) in 11 states, we reformulated our Bud Extra and Tilt products to remove the caffeine and guarana. Adults have been mixing caffeinated cocktails for decades: rum and Coke, Irish coffee, and red Bull and vodka. Bud Extra and Tilt were criticized even though they had less alcohol than most of these cocktails, had much less caffeine than a 12-ounce coffee, and had received all necessary federal and state agency approvals. Still AGs were concerned that prepackaged caffeinated alcohol beverages promoted irresponsible drinking. Anheuser-Busch has a long history of voluntarily working with state AGs to encourage adults to drink responsibly, and we are pleased to have been the first company to answer the call of this group of AGs who asked the beer and hard-liquor industries to stop selling pre-packaged caffeinated alcohol beverages. Anheuser-Busch also paid a total amount of $200,000 to be distributed among the participating states to cover costs of the investigation and to be used for public programs, including implementing programs designed to prevent underage drinking.

federal trade commIssIon

the beer business is one of the nation’s most heavily-regulated industries on both the federal and state levels, so Anheuser-Busch has a long history of regularly sharing information with government agencies, including the Federal trade commission (Ftc). As in past years, in 2007 we welcomed the opportunity to provide the Ftc with the information requested regarding our advertising and marketing practices. the resulting Ftc report, which was released in june 2008, highlighted the thoroughness of brewers’ compliance with the Beer institute code and reaffirmed that self-regulation continues to work well. For a copy of the report, visit www.ftc.gov/opa/2008/06/alcoholrpt.shtm.

responsibil ity responsible marketing anheuser-busch, inc. 11

With the help of subject-matter experts, we develop community-based programs that are then implemented at the local level by our wholesalers across the country. For more than a decade, our wholesalers have been required to spend one penny-per-case of beer sold on responsibility initiatives as part of their distribution agreement with Anheuser-Busch. Annual wholesaler spending generally exceeds the required amount by about 10 percent, with 2007 wholesaler responsibility spending

totaling $15.5 million. This information is tracked and verified on an annual basis through our sales system.

Drunk-Driving PreventiOnIn 1982, Anheuser-Busch joined the fight against drunk driving with the introduction of our “Know When to Say When” campaign. At that time, we also were one of the founding sponsors of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. We introduced our first locally implemented safe-ride home program,

famIlY talk

In 2007, wholesalers provided more than 174,000 Family talk About Drinking program materials to parents, educators, law enforcement and community organizations. Since 1990, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesalers have distributed more than 6.9 million Family talk About Drinking program materials. Complete information on the program is available at www.familytalkonline.com.

Alert Cab, in St. Louis in 1984, and that program continues to operate locally in communities across the country. Over the years, we have developed and supported a variety of safe-ride initiatives, including promoting the use of designated drivers. This concept enjoys strong support from retailers who appreciate that helping patrons get a safe-ride home is good business for them as well. From our annual survey of designated drivers, we know that 137 million American adults have either been a designated driver or been driven home by one. In 2007, more than 475 wholesalers, or about 80 percent, conducted designated-driver programs.

safe-ride home ProgramsIn collaboration with local cab companies, bars and restaurants, Anheuser-Busch wholesalers help prevent drunk driving by providing safe rides home with Alert Cab. Bar and restaurant patrons who may have overindulged are provided a free or reduced-fare cab ride home.

Safe-ride partnerships also include our work with AAA Auto Club South on the Tow To Go program, which has provided more than 8,300 safe rides home since its inception in 1998, and the Washington regional Alcohol Program’s (WrAP) Soberride™ program, which has provided more than 41,000 safe rides homes since its inception in 1993.

In 2007, Anheuser-Busch wholesalers provided more than 186,000 safe rides through cab and shuttle programs. Since 1989, our wholesalers have provided more than 1.2 million safe rides home.

unDerAge-Drinking PreventiOnAt Anheuser-Busch, we brew our beers to be enjoyed responsibly by adults. We don’t want anyone underage consuming our products. After all, we’re parents, too … sharing the same concerns as every other parent about these issues.

Our programs to help prevent underage drinking address the issue in many ways, such as helping parents talk with their children about drinking, aiding schools in building self-esteem in children, and assisting those who sell our products in spotting fake I.D.s and serving responsibly.

family talkAnheuser-Busch began its underage-drinking prevention efforts in the late 1980s with our campaign “Let’s Stop Underage Drinking Before It Starts” to address increasing concern about this issue. In 1990, we worked with authorities in the areas of family counseling, education, child psychology and alcohol treatment

to develop Family Talk About Drinking. This free program includes a book-mark, parent guidebook and DVD and is available in five languages — English, Spanish, Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese. In 2007, wholesalers provided more than 174,000 Family Talk About Drinking program materials to parents, educators, law enforcement and community organi-zations. Since 1990, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesalers have distributed more than 6.9 million Family Talk About Drinking program materials. Complete information on the program is available at www.familytalkonline.com.

We IdHelping prevent sales to minors at retail is key in preventing underage drinking, and Anheuser-Busch and its wholesalers offer retailers training and a variety of materials that help them check and verify valid I.D.s. These include pocket-size We ID cards (in English, Spanish or Korean) with tips on spotting fake I.D.s; drivers license booklets featuring photos of valid driver licenses; and wristbands for identifying customers who already have shown proof of legal age. In 2007, our wholesalers provided more than 16,000 We ID cards, 163,000 drivers license booklets and 7.3 million wristbands. Since 1990, Anheuser-Busch and our wholesalers have provided more than 1.2 million We ID cards, 1.8 million drivers license booklets and 67.3 million wristbands.

Prevent. don’t Provide.Government and independent research has shown that most teens who drink get their alcohol from parents or other adults. We created our Prevent. Don’t Provide. program to remind parents not to buy alcohol for minors or provide it to them at parties — no matter the occasion. The National Fatherhood Initiative, International Association of Fire Chiefs and Association of Junior Leagues International support this program. In 2007, we launched Positive Parenting Connection on MySpace (www.myspace.com/positiveparenting) with their support. This online resource includes materials, tips, videos and links to expert-designed resources to help parents use their positive influence to communicate with their children about making smart choices.

speakers bureauMembers of the Anheuser-Busch Corporate Social responsibility Speakers Bureau deliver messages about responsi-bility and respect for the law to students, parents, educators, community groups and military personnel around the country through the support of our wholesalers. In 2007, more than 259,000 students attended these presentations, bringing the total to 2.7 million since 1998. Additional information on these speakers is available at www.beeresponsible.com/underage-drinking-our-programs.html.

Government outreachWe also worked with federal and state government officials in 2007 and again in 2008 to help prevent underage drinking through our support of the Federal Trade Commission’s “We Don’t Serve Teens” campaign that reminds parents and other adults, “Don’t serve alcohol to teens. It’s unsafe. It’s illegal. It’s irresponsible.” To support the 2007 FTC campaign, Anheuser-Busch placed ads in high-profile publications Newsweek, TIME and US News & World Report, and on nearly 900 outdoor billboards in major markets. These ad placements were viewed by an audience of approximately 101 million in just one week.

In 2007, for the third year in a row, state AGs were offered an opportunity to record 30-second radio public service announcements (PSAs) aimed at preventing underage drinking and drunk driving. Twenty-four AGs, along with one first lady and a consumer protection commissioner, recorded PSAs that aired on paid media statewide in the participants’ respective states.

colleGe talk

in 2007, more than 78,000 college talk materials were distributed by our wholesalers. since 2002, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesalers have distributed more than 731,900 program materials. complete information on the program is available at www.collegetalkonline.com.

cOllege PrOgrAmsOur position on drinking at the college level is clear: if you’re 21 and older and choose to drink, please do so responsibly. If you’re under 21, respect the law and don’t drink. We have developed and supported a variety of initiatives that reinforce those messages among our nation’s college students.

college talkWith experts from the areas of alcohol treatment, student health and wellness, social norms marketing, education and family therapy, we developed our College Talk program in 2001 to help parents continue communicating openly and honestly with their children on the subject of drinking as they prepare for college and begin a life on their own. In 2007, more than 78,000 College Talk materials were distributed by our wholesalers. Since 2002, Anheuser-Busch and its wholesalers have distributed more than 731,900 program materials. Complete information on the program is available at www.collegetalkonline.com.

social normsSocial norms marketing is an effective data-driven approach to help reduce high-risk drinking and promote harm-reduction behaviors among college students. Social norming educates students about the actual behavior of their peers — focusing on the fact that most college students drink moderately, infrequently or not at all.

This approach has seen documented reductions of up to more than 40 percent in irresponsible consumption and comparable reductions in alcohol-related injuries, according to various case studies by the National Social Norms Institute.

Since 1999, Anheuser-Busch and its foundation have contributed nearly $7.8 million to support social norms initiatives at campuses, including California State University – Fresno; Florida State University; Georgetown University; Michigan State University; Murray State University; University of Hawaii; University of Kentucky; University of Mississippi; University of Missouri; University of Virginia (UVA); and Virginia Commonwealth University. The company also provided a gift to help establish the National Social Norms Institute at UVA.

resPOnsiBle DrinkingPromoting personal responsibility is the foundation of Anheuser-Busch’s responsible drinking efforts. Through programs for retail and home use, we encourage consumers to remember that “responsibility Matters.” In addition, we support selected alcohol abuse and treatment programs.

responsibility advertisementsIn addition to ensuring our brand marketing efforts and products are responsible, Anheuser-Busch creates television, print, radio, outdoor and Internet advertise-ments dedicated solely to promoting a responsibility message. For the past quarter century, we have used award-winning creative messaging to promote responsible drinking, increase the use of designated drivers, and encourage parents to talk with their teens to help prevent underage drinking.

Good sportIn 1986, Good Sport became the first fan management program to be implemented. This initiative is designed to help stadium operators, team owners and concession-aires promote a positive crowd environment through server training, in-stadium public-service announcements and signage, and safe-ride home programs. This program is now in place in 134 major and minor sports venues in the United States, as well as select university sports venues nationwide.

Product SafetyAnheuser-Busch’s passion and dedication to quality have

allowed the company to offer a diverse range of beers, loved

by consumers around the world.

We use the finest ingredients to brew our beers and follow an uncompromising commitment to product quality to ensure our consumers enjoy the freshest, best-tasting beers. We follow a comprehensive quality management system at our facilities to maintain product safety, and we extend these standards to our suppliers as well. There were no product-safety recalls in 2007.

In our breweries, our production lines are equipped with advanced technology systems to help our brewing and pack-aging professionals detect issues as the beer is being packaged. In addition, we utilize a coding system on our packages that identifies the beer packaging date, source brewery, package production line and time-specific data at 15-minute increments. This information allows us to pinpoint brewing and packaging information to help expedite any product quality analysis that may be needed.

Of course, if consumers have questions, comments or issues, they may call our toll-free customer service number printed on our packaging and speak to a company representative in our Customer relationship Group. This department is the initial point of contact for our customers and can help address and handle consumer questions or complaints in a timely fashion by working with the various company departments, depending on the topic.

gmO useGenetically modified (GM) organisms and the biotechnology used to create them have been at the center of much global debate. In some parts of the world, GM ingredients are accepted, and in other parts of the world, the use of GM ingredients is restricted or banned.

All of our products are made according to the highest quality standards and in complete compliance with the laws in each country where we sell our beers. We fully comply with all international regulatory standards wherever our

beers are sold internationally. Neither Anheuser-Busch, nor our international licensed brewing partners use GM ingredients, including GM rice, in brewing products sold in any country with legal restrictions. All Budweiser brewed in Europe, by Anheuser-Busch or its licensed brewing partners, uses European-grown rice.

We believe there is a need for further dialogue and research in order to reach scientific consensus on the use of GM ingredients. Additionally, we recognize that the issues surrounding plant biotechnology and the planting and use of pharmaceutical crops are important and complex matters that deserve the attention of all facets of our global society. We believe the Grocery Manufacturers of America Association’s January 2007 position paper expresses a sensible balance of concern for food safety, ample food supply and world health.

Overview At Anheuser-Busch, our tradition of environmental stewardship

dates back to the company’s founder, Adolphus Busch. In the late

1800s, he began recycling leftover grain from the brewing process,

using it for cattle feed, a practice that still continues today.

Today, while we continue to manage the many aspects of environmental responsibility, the company is focused on key issues — water, energy, recycling, and packaging.

We are expanding programs and practices to address these issues, building new initiatives on our strong foundation. This includes reaching beyond our own operations to understand and address the impacts from our suppliers and distribution networks.

At Anheuser-Busch, the EHS governance and management structure is combined. For the purposes of this report, elements of this structure are reported in this section, as well as the People section.

The EHS Policy sets companywide direction and expectations from senior management that are integrated into the overall business decision-making process at all levels of the company. Developed more than a decade ago, our EHS Management System produces excellent performance results by setting clear expectations for all employees and features many elements of the ISO 14001 environmental management standard. Anheuser-Busch continuously refines the EHS Management System to reflect evolving regulations and technological advancements, to provide the most current guidance to employees throughout the organization, and to respond to changing business conditions.

Our policies, programs, and performance targets are designed to preserve the long-term value of our operations and the environment through responsible resource use.

We also participate in many regional, national, and international programs and organizations that support sound business and environmental policy and advocate best practices, including the Global Environmental Management Initiative (GEMI), and Business for Social responsibility.

High-quality water is one of the main ingredients in beer and

a priority for our breweries and the communities where we operate.

It also is an important consideration in our agricultural and

entertainment businesses.

Water

The Anheuser-Busch Water Council, established in 2002, helps our company strategically manage this critical resource. Water use impacts within our supply chain are discussed in the Value Chain section.

Over the past five years, members of the Anheuser-Busch Water Council have met with local water providers, watershed planners, and other key stakeholders to identify the issues and opportunities within our watersheds. The objective is to ensure a reliable water supply across our supply chain. The information obtained from our on-site team includes tracking the water supply from the origin of the watershed to its final use in our supply chain.

Conservation continues to be a primary focus in how we address our water use while maintaining our quality standards. Our approach to water efficiency includes conducting operational reviews to minimize use and identifying opportunities to recycle and reuse.

Managing our wastewater presents a final reuse opportunity. At our breweries in Fort Collins, Colo., and Jacksonville, Fla., we apply nutrient-rich wastewater to company-owned farms that grow feed and fuel crops like alfalfa, canola and switch grass. At our Cartersville, Ga., brewery, we apply bio-solids from our Bio-Energy recovery Systems as fertilizer at our nearby farm where turf and hay crops such as Bermuda and rye grass are grown, baled and sold to area farmers.

From the beginning of 2003 through 2007, our Fort Collins, Colo., brewery decreased water use per barrel packaged by 23 percent.

environment water anheuser-busch, inc. 22

In the past five years, our brewery water use ratio has declined more than 7 percent. Compared to 2003, in 2007, our efficiency efforts resulted in a savings of 4.3 billion liters of water. In 2007, our companywide water use totaled 890 million hectoliters. This is a 2.4 percent increase over 2003, nearly flat considering production increased by nearly 2 percent. Water use at our breweries was 5.5 hectoliters per hectoliter of packaged beer. In 2007, our breweries reduced their water use ratio by 4.4 percent and have set a 2010 stretch goal of 4 hectoliters of water per hectoliter of beer packaged.

Although the breweries use a large volume of water in the brewing process to produce our product and meet high quality standards, we also treat and return large volumes to the local watersheds. In 2007, the breweries returned on average more than 70 percent of the total water used at the facility back to the local watershed.

Water use at the cartersvIlle, Ga., breWerY

in 2007, due to a drought threat in the Atlanta area, our cartersville, ga., brewery reduced its water use to 4.3 hectoliters per hectoliter of packaged beer, a 12 percent reduction over 2006. the conservation measures implemented at cartersville are now being transferred to other breweries, where possible, to help continue our conservation efforts system-wide while maintaining our quality standards. We also began working with our environmental partners and community leaders to identify potential watershed protection projects in the region.

However, the escalating, sometimes unpredictable, cost of energy and emerging climate regulations have increased our focus even more. In 2005, we established our Energy Council to aid in our efforts to conserve energy when possible and develop additional sources of onsite renewable energy. In 2007, we set a new annual reduction goal of 1 percent of energy use at our breweries, as well as a goal of obtaining 15 percent of companywide fuel use from renewable sources by 2010. We also continue to collect and analyze energy use in our supply chain and distribution networks in conjunction with our efforts to reduce costs and understand greenhouse gas emissions from those same sources.

This additional attention on our energy management plan has netted even more positive results as we have reduced both energy use and absolute greenhouse gas emissions, while continuing to increase production. Energy use was 179 thousand gigajoules per hectoliter of beer packaged at the breweries in 2007, a decline of 4.2 percent from 2006, which well exceeded our 1 percent goal. Companywide, our total energy use was 32.7 million gigajoules. Programs such as boiler efficiency optimization, heat recovery projects and lighting retrofits have contributed to these results.

Voluntary partnerships, such as with the U.S. EPA’s Energy Star program, support our utilities management program by providing an information and networking resource focused on energy-efficiency improvements.

Energy conservation has been a strategic

focus at Anheuser-Busch for many years,

especially at our breweries, which represent

the largest share of energy use.

Energy Use

Our company operates more than 50 boilers across 12 u.s. breweries. more than 98 percent of the boiler fuel purchased is used to generate steam for brewery processes. in addition, boilers throughout our company have economizers that capture excess heat to produce energy and enhance fuel efficiency. We continue to analyze boiler equipment to determine where economizer upgrades would be appropriate to help provide additional levels of heat recovery, and cost and emission reductions.

The Anheuser-Busch Wuhan Brewery has reduced electricity use by 11 percent and fuel use by 3 percent on a per barrel basis since 2003.

renewable energy is a critical component

of our energy strategy.

Renewable Energy

In 2007, Anheuser-Busch completed a companywide study with the U.S. Department of Energy’s National renewable Energy Laboratory. The study reviewed 58 Anheuser-Busch facilities and identified potential renewable energy opportunities at several locations. We are using this study as a roadmap to further evaluate and implement renewable energy technologies.

At the end of 2007, 8 percent of our total fuel use companywide came from renew-able sources. That year we set a goal of obtaining 15 percent of our total fuel use companywide from renewable sources by the end of 2010. By the end of 2009, we estimate that the equivalent of about one in seven of our beers brewed domes-tically is expected to be brewed using renewable fuel.*

External partnerships help provide assis-tance and knowledge-sharing enabling us to further our renewable energy efforts.

Anheuser-Busch has been using renewable energy for more than two decades through our Bio-Energy recovery Systems (BErS) tech-nology, first implemented in 1985. BErS, a technology that uses nutrient-rich wastewater to create and capture a renewable fuel, provides up to 15 percent of the fuel for nine of our U.S. breweries and our brewery in Wuhan, China. We are the world’s largest operator of BErS.

In 2007, BErS generated almost 1,880 billion BTUs (2 million gigajoules). In this same year, Anheuser-Busch breweries avoided more than 248 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels by using this renewable fuel. We continue to expand and improve our BErS systems with our tenth domestic brewery to begin using the technology by year end 2008.

We also are evaluating other renew-able energies such as landfill gas, biomass, wind and solar. In 2008, we began construction on a landfill gas project. Our Houston brewery will use biogas from a nearby landfill as part of an alternative fuel plan that, when combined with the facility’s BErS, is anticipated to provide more than 70 percent of the brewery’s fuel needs.

It includes several key components: conservation, tracking and reporting emissions, setting goals, participating in voluntary initiatives, reducing energy use, improving efficiency in capturing carbon dioxide (CO2), increasing use of renewable fuels and minimizing purchases of carbon dioxide generated from fossil-fuel sources. Our approach to identifying and addressing the issues associated with greenhouse gas impacts in our supply chain is discussed in the Value Chain section.

Across our breweries, fuel combustion used to generate steam and purchased electricity are the principal sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Reductions achieved to date have been realized through energy efficiency, implementation of capital projects and fuel switching from oil to natural gas. Reported emissions have been adjusted to account for indirect emissions from purchased steam, which were previously estimated and are now provided to Anheuser-Busch by the steam generator. For our U.S. operations under the EPA Climate Leaders program, we

established a 2010 goal of reducing total greenhouse gas emissions by 5 percent from our 2005 baseline.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Climate Change Over the past several years, our strategy to address energy issues

has evolved into a comprehensive set of initiatives encompassing

“our PledGe” camPaIGn

in november 2007, we launched our Web site OurPledge.com to highlight the company’s long- standing efforts on the environment. simply put, our pledge is to continually seek to operate more efficiently and maintain our quality standards, while considering our environmental impact in order to be better stewards of the world in which we live.

OurPledge.com features employee videos telling our environmental story…from recycling, to water and energy conservation, to wildlife habitat preservation. And 30-second versions of the videos have appeared as Budweiser tv ads, with placements on high-profile select tv programming, including sports and cable. in addition, we’ve placed print and internet advertising with our environmental messages.

some of our wholesalers also have taken the opportunity to highlight their environmental efforts through retail signage, billboards and even truck decals that allow wholesalers to remind their communities of their efforts to use more environmentally-friendly fuels, such as biodiesel and compressed natural gas, as well as hybrid vehicles.

Anheuser-Busch uses a technology called cO2 Advanced Purification systems (cAPs) at six breweries. these systems capture and reuse cO2 throughout the fermentation process, reducing the amount of cO2 that would have been released by 20 percent. Anheuser-Busch is now evaluating the next generation of technologies that would greatly improve the efficiency of cO2 use within the brewery.

Anheuser-Busch supports and participates in voluntary initiatives that encourage emissions reporting and responsible energy management, and facilitate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. these include:

We work to eliminate material losses, improve packaging efficiencies and determine cost-effective, environmentally-preferable alternatives. We also support and participate in public education recycling campaigns.

recyclingFounded in 1978, Anheuser-Busch recycling Corporation (A-BrC) recycles the equivalent of five aluminum cans for every four our breweries package. In 2007, A-BrC recycled 803 million pounds (364,000 metric tons) of aluminum beverage containers.

A-BrC also actively encourages public aluminum can, glass and plastic bottle recycling. In 2007, A-BrC initiated recycling at more than 150 events by partnering with local recyclers, our distributors, national organizations, packaging material groups, and leading beverage industry producers to increase container recycling through innovative, comprehensive,

long-term programs. A-BrC also supports more than 700 suppliers by providing recycling collection equipment and marketing tools such as advertisements and local signage to encourage community recycling.

Anheuser-Busch continues to make advances in reducing the use of raw materials throughout our processes. In 2007, we recycled more than 98 percent of all solid waste generated in our U.S. operations. At our breweries, the rate was even higher — recycling more than 99 percent of the solid waste generated. In 2007, these recycled waste streams companywide totaled more than 5 billion pounds (2.27 million metric tons).

We continue to make these advances at our Budweiser Wuhan brewery. From 2003 to 2007, we reduced by 73 percent the amount of waste contributed to the community landfill, and in 2007, we recycled 153 million pounds of materials.

Recycling and PackagingAnheuser-Busch explores ways to reduce the use of materials and

eliminate waste before it is created to further both business

and environmental goals without sacrificing quality.

PAckAging Consumer demand, reducing product loss and damage during transportation, and brand marketing all factor into the innova-tive redesign of beverage containers and packaging. Anheuser-Busch works with its suppliers, wholesalers and procurement and packaging experts to help us make decisions that minimize cost and environ-mental impact from packaging materials.

The Anheuser-Busch Supplier Certification Group has a program for packaging suppliers that includes requirements for environmental plans and programs for continuous environmental improvement. The group conducted 85 individual supplier audits in 2007.

As our next step, we are establishing key metrics that will further assist us in understanding the impact of our packaging decisions. We continue our light-weighting efforts to reduce costs, minimize the use of natural resources, and lessen transportation-related impacts. In 2007, we realized savings of 33 million pounds of solid waste resulting from packaging design modifications.

As an example, the company made two packaging changes during 2007 that resulted in material reductions. Anheuser-Busch reduced its 15-pack/ 24-ounce can tray, resulting in a total savings of 2.3 million pounds of cardboard. An additional change to the carton liner for the 24-pack/12-ounce package resulted in a savings of 2 million pounds of liner material.

reducInG enerGY

in recent years, we’ve reduced the diameter of our lids on every can by .002 of an ounce. this small change saves us some 20 million pounds of aluminum each year, which, in turn, conserves enough energy to power more than 7,000 homes. Overall, the can has been made about 40 percent lighter since the early 1970s.

Anheuser-Busch reports solid waste management performance and achievements to the ePA’s WasteWise program annually. As a member of the WasteWise Hall of Fame, inducted in 2005, Anheuser-Busch also provides a leadership role in encouraging other organizations to join and report.

Value Chain In 2005, Anheuser-Busch began calculating the environmental

impacts of its brewing operations across its entire value chain —

which includes suppliers and a complex distribution network.

sustaInable aGrIculture outreach ProGrams

Anheuser-Busch sponsors and participates in the california central valley rice growers annual meeting, which provides a forum to discuss common issues and sustainable agriculture practices. these meetings often include field visits to illustrate key agricultural practices. in addition, grower Advisory councils have been established with key growers. the councils meet several times each year to address concerns and share best practices.

each year, our jonesboro, Ark., rice mill sponsors an Agriculture Business conference. the conference covers present and future production, marketing, and environmental issues. more than 700 local growers and other agricultural interests attend this best-practice exchange.

Anheuser-Busch operates a barley research facility in Fort collins, colo., to help develop new barley varieties. the varieties under development are designed to increase production and quality, thereby helping to ensure a steady, uncompromised supply of quality ingredients to our breweries. the environmental benefits include higher yields on less acreage, and reduction in irrigation water, fertilizers, pesticides, and energy to produce malting barley.

through all these outreach programs, Anheuser-Busch continues to evaluate and encourage elements of sustainable agriculture.

The graphic below represents total water and greenhouse gas impacts across our value chain. Our objective is to identify high-priority areas for further cost reduction and environmental improvement, establish goals to reduce those impacts, and then work with suppliers and others along the value chain to encourage appropriate changes.

Quantifying a total value chain inventory is a lengthy and complicated process with numerous variables related to climate, geography, soil conditions and other agricultural variables, sourcing of raw materials, manufacturing, transportation, and consumer habits. In addition, because there is no widely accepted guidance on setting boundaries, calculating impacts or validating data, the assessment presented in the graphic may be clarified in future

reports as some of the aforementioned variables continue to be refined. This initiative has provided valuable insight on priority areas and reveals additional work that must be completed before meaningful goals can be set.

Anheuser-Busch is working with members of the Beverage Industry Environmental roundtable (BIEr) to establish a common inventory methodology. BIEr is a partner-ship of leading global beverage companies working together to advance the standing of the beverage industry on environmental stewardship. BIEr currently is focused on creating a common industry protocol for determining a beverage company’s carbon footprint. Anheuser-Busch will be piloting the methodology and taking the next steps to gather and validate more specific data.

Agriculture sOurcingAs shown in the graphic, one of our priority areas is the sourcing of raw materials from agricultural suppliers. The water percentage shown under sourcing reflects total irrigation water applied to the crops. It does not consider rainfall, and does not reflect consumptive use. Anheuser-Busch works closely with its barley and rice growers to better understand and minimize these impacts. In 2007, several initiatives were sponsored to share best practices and expectations around maintaining high-quality specifications, maximizing crop yield, and optimizing the use of fertilizer and water.

mAnAging Our cOmPAny lAnDs FOr tHe BeneFit OF WilDliFeIn 1988, Anheuser-Busch helped found the Wildlife Habitat Council (WHC), a nonprofit, non-lobbying 501(c)(3) group of corpora-tions, conservation organizations, and individuals dedicated to restoring and

enhancing wildlife habitat. Created in 1988, WHC helps large landowners, particularly corporations, manage their unused lands in an ecologically sensitive manner for the benefit of wildlife. More than 2 million acres in 48 states, Puerto rico, and 16 other countries are managed for wildlife through WHC-assisted projects. Today, many of our facilities continue to participate in the WHC’s Wildlife at WorkSM and Corporate Lands for LearningSM (CLL) programs. respectively, these programs help employees and employers establish, develop and manage a wildlife program, leading up to WHC accreditation, and then share that “outdoor classroom” to help foster among children and adults a clear understanding of the interdepen-dence of ecology, economics, and social structures in both urban and rural areas.

In 2007, our Fort Collins, Colo., brewery and land application site received joint CLL certification and our Jonesboro, Ark., rice mill achieved CLL recertification. In total, Anheuser-Busch has four CLL certified facilities.

Wildlife Habitat PreservationAnheuser-Busch has a long history of

conservation and land preservation for the

benefit of wildlife.

In 2007, the Merrimack, N.H., brewery achieved WHC certification, bringing our total number of Wildlife at Worksm certified sites to 10. Additionally, the Cartersville, Ga., brewery received the Wings Over Wetlands Award and the Jonesboro rice mill was nominated for both the Pollinator Protection Award and the CLL of the Year Award.

In addition, our theme parks SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and Discovery Cove are widely recognized as global leaders in wildlife rescue and habitat conservation and education. As one of the world’s leading marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation facilities, SeaWorld routinely assists with efforts to save wildlife around the world. Since 1970, our staff of animal care experts and veterinarians has helped rescue more than 15,000 animals.

In 2007, the SeaWorld and Busch Gardens Conservation Fund, a non-profit foundation established and supported by Anheuser-Busch to promote species research, habitat protection, conservation education, and animal rescue, made grants of more than $1.3 million to 112 environ-mental and research organizations worldwide. In 2008, the fund announced grants of more than $1.5 million to 151 environmental and research organizations worldwide. Since its launch in 2003, the Fund has donated $5 million to more than 350 projects in 60 countries.

Approach to Public PolicyAnheuser-Busch has a long tradition of active

and responsible corporate citizenship.

As America’s largest brewer, an owner of adventure theme parks and packaging operations, as well as one of the world’s largest recyclers of aluminum cans, our company deals with a broad range of issues, and we monitor all legislation for possible impacts on our business.

Like many businesses, we participate in the political process in various ways at all levels of government. This includes bipartisan support of candidates and political organizations throughout the country. For example, Anheuser-Busch and its subsidiaries contributed approxi-mately $1.9 million to state and local candidates and organizations in 2007.

At the federal level, the Anheuser-Busch Political Action Committee (AB-PAC) allows company employees to join together collectively and participate in the political process. Voluntary contributions by employees allowed the AB-PAC to provide approximately $994,000 in support of federal candidates and organizations in 2007. Through a matching-grant program, Anheuser-Busch matches participants’ AB-PAC contributions with a donation

to a charity of their choice. In 2007, the company contributed approximately $970,000 to more than 500 non-profit 501(c)(3) organizations and has donated more than $5.3 million to approximately 1,000 organizations since 2000.

Anheuser-Busch also actively develops strong working relationships with public officials, emerging leaders and influential members of the communities where we live and work. In many cases, we work with outside consultants who are familiar with the legislative process, as well as the federal, state and local laws relevant to the company’s business.

All of our public policy expenditures and activities comply with relevant federal, state and local laws, as well as the company’s approval processes, and reflect our continued commitment to supporting the political process. We strive to ensure that our actions work to support the best interests of our company, employees, shareholders, and consumers, as well as the communities in which we do business.
