Labatt Breweries of Canada, part of AB InBev, is investing CAD 461.5 million through its capital program focussed on sustainability, innovation and production enhancements.
The investment will have a significant impact on the company’s breweries and operations throughout Canada and demonstrates its commitment to the country’s local communities where seven brewing facilities are located.
The production sites will benefit from upgrades and expansions that will help make operations more sustainable, for example reducing plastic use to enforce energy and water savings.
This will include the company’s recent investment in the KeelClip packaging system which is a minimal material fastener solution made of recyclable fibre paperboard.
Jeff Ryan, vice president of legal and corporate affairs at Labatt, commented: “This important investment is a commitment to our communities and to our people, ensuring they have the resources needed to do what they do best so Labatt can contribute to Canada now and for years to come.”
He continued: “It will allow us to reduce our environmental footprint and enable our breweries for future growth as we continue to meet the changing needs and tastes of Canadians and work toward our global sustainability goals”.
The investment plans are to be spread out from 2019-2022.
