Water Availability
Two most critical and
potentially material issues
from a financial perspective:
• Water scarcity in agriculture
• Water scarcity for production
Water is a Material Issue For Business
“Changes in the
availability or
quality of
water…can
have material
effects on
companies”
Shared Responsibility
In order to achieve real
change, we must collaborate
• Direct operations efficiency
• Supply Chain and Watershed Management
• Collective Action
• Public Policy Dialogue
• Community Engagement
• Transparency
Ensuring a Secure Future through Water Stewardship
We are committed to:
• Water efficiency
• Waste water management
• Water supply assessment
• Water footprinting
• Community investment
Water Efficiency
Our Fort Worth Brewery is the most water
efficient, with a water-to-beer ratio of
3.42 to 1.
2015 GoalReduce water
usage by 15% to achieve a 3.5:1.0

• Anaerobic digestors turn wastewater
into renewable energy at California
and Texas breweries
• North Carolina, Ohio and Georgia
breweries use aerobic wastewater
treatment facilities and effluent is
recycled and land-applied
• Virginia brewery installed $10 M
membrane bioreactor that removes
phosphorous and nitrogen

Watershed Risk Assessment Study
Water As A Crop™
MillerCoors Fort Worth Brewery
Involved with local partners
• Soil erosion significant
problem because of the
velocity that water moves
across the landscape.
• Pilot- Hold water on the land
longer, improving water
infiltration of the
soil, reducing runoff and
improving economic viability
of farms..

Risk Assessment
Pilot Study
in the Snake River
Valley in Idaho
• Visibility into agricultural
supply chain risks
• Focus efforts to help
suppliers preserve water
resources
• Prioritize needs to develop
alternative sources of
barley supply
• Identify the more secure
growing areas within the
region
The Nature Conservancy
Phase I - Data Analysis and
Public Input
• Ground and surface water
and model
• High temps, decrease
flows, increase
sediment, invasive species
• Measure restoration activities
• Watershed enhancement
plan- 20 years (prioritize)
• Eight public meetings
• Purchase easements
Phase I – Water Conservation
Projects
• Increase set backs from
water bodies
• Repair riparian buffers
• Water Conservation Toolbox:
• Variable rate irrigation
• Change nozzles for more efficient
sprays
• Soil moisture monitoring
Partnership with The Nature Conservancy
and our Barley Farmers
• Expand ground and surface
water model
• “Landscape Atlas” for
navigating conservation
projects
• Idaho Energy Savings
Program
• “Showcase” Barley Farm
Phase II:
Water Saving Implements:
• Sprinkler package
• Smart panel
• End gun shut off
9 full pivots
