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

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
