CCU ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

I. OBJECTIVES

As part of being CCU, the concern for the planet is an integral part of our identity.

On the basis of our Environmental Vision, we recognize the importance of doing business with a long-term approach. Therefore, this objective implies the need to develop and promote among our internal and external stakeholders a culture aimed at minimizing environmental impacts throughout the life cycle of our processes and products, beyond mere regulatory compliance.

We are focused on the continuous improvement of the standards with we operate, also considering the context in which our industry develops and the great challenges faced by society in environmental matters. The statements contained in this document are consistent with local and international principles and best practices to which we adhere, such as the United Nations Global Compact.

III. DESCRIPTION

Considering these commitments, at CCU we promote the following criteria:

3. Consider the following key management objectives: reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions per unit of product, reduce waste generated and increase the recovery of waste that is inevitably generated, and reduce water consumption per unit of product.
4. Monitor the key objectives mentioned above with specific goals through our Environmental Vision, a plan that establishes our short, medium and long-term path.
