AB InBev has cut Scope 1&2 emissions 42% since 2017 and contracted 100% renewable electricity globally, but masks weak Scope 3 climate action behind intensity metrics rather than absolute reductions. Trade association membership in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce—a documented climate policy obstructor—directly contradicts its net-zero ambitions. Nature and biodiversity assessments remain incomplete.
Anheuser-Busch InBev scores 42/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
That places Anheuser-Busch InBev joint 317th of 847 companies scored, and joint 25th of 46 in Food & Beverage (non-meat).
