Suntory Beverage & Food Limited (SBF) is pursuing environmental management together as part of the Suntory Group. SBF has set a new target toward 2020 based on the environmental vision toward 2050 established by the Suntory Group. It aims to contribute to the development of a sustainable society over the long term, as the responsibility of a corporation that is sustained by the great bounty of nature.

SBF's targets toward 2020

The following two goals for reducing the environmental impact are set for achieving the environmental vision toward 2050 established by the Suntory Group:

(1) Reduction of water consumption at SBF Group*¹ factories by 42%*²
- For example, by reducing the amount of water using in the factories for cleaning and cooling of production equipment and containers.

(2) Reduction of CO₂ emission in the SBF Group*¹ value chain by 25%*²
- In addition to further reducing the weight of containers, use recycled materials and plant-derived materials in plastic bottles.
- Accelerating Japan's No.1 energy-efficient vending machines

In the future we will work even more proactively on environmental measures for product development and containers that meet consumer needs.

*1　 The group of companies that covers more than 80% of the SBF Group's sales for 2012 (including overseas companies)
*2　 Reduction per unit production based on the business areas in 2007

SBF will step up its environmental management with the setting of new targets for environment-related corporate activities.
