Project Background and ApproachThe project was delivered in three workstreams

4

Workstream 2Science Based Targets

Workstream 3Carbon Reduction Strategy

Workstream 1Value Chain Footprint

› Calculate Carlsberg’s operational and value chain carbon footprint to serve as a robust baseline for the target-setting process.

› Calculate science based targets in accordance with a recognised science based target methodology and aligning with Carlsberg’s Sail 2022 strategy.

› Develop a robust, cost-effective strategy to reduce Carlsberg’s operational carbon footprint in line with the commitments made under its science based targets

Context for Science based TargetsIncreasing global cooperation on carbon reductions

• The Paris Climate Accord (COP21)

• Agreed to hold the increase in global average temperatures well below 2°C and pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C

• Emissions should peak as soon as possible, and rapidly reduce thereafter

• Mitigation performance to be reviewed every five years and national plans (NDCs) improved (“ratchet mechanism”)

4

Context for Science based TargetsSBTs translate global pledges to the company level

• Targets adopted by companies to reduce carbon emissions are considered “science based” if they are in line with the level of decarbonisation required to keep global temperature increase below 2°C

How do you calculate science based targets?Calculating science based targets involves 3 key steps

6

1. Assessing the global carbon budget

How large is the pie?

2. Calculating your business’ carbon budget

How large is my slice?

3. Compare your budget and your footprint

Am I eating too much?

› Different methodologies will take slightly different approaches to these steps

Emissions occur in our breweries as well as our value chain – both have to be addressed!

ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT

2030• 0% carbon emissions at our breweries

• 30% reduction in beer-in-hand carbon footprint

2022• 50% reduction in carbon emissions at our breweries

• 15% reduction in beer-in-hand carbon footprint
