We believe a healthy business takes care to ensure that profitability and sustainability exist
in harmony. Sustainability is therefore embedded in our corporate strategy, SAIL’22.
This aims to create sustainable value growth in optimising the balance between volumes,
margins, profit and cash. Here, you can see our strong 2018 financial performance
and our sustainability progress.

CREATING A MORE RESILIENT BUSINESS
Resilience comes through embedding

WATER
WASTE
Current trends show that by
2025 two thirds of the world’s
population may face water
shortages and ecosystems will be
under stress.
To put this in context, only 3% of the world’s
water supply is fresh and safe for human use –
yet most is frozen in glaciers or otherwise
inaccessible. Today, with the impact of
pollution, climate change and other factors,
1.1 billion people worldwide have no access
to fresh water. For 2.7 billion people, water is
scarce for at least one month every year.2
This is why we have set targets to halve water
usage at our breweries and to partner to
safeguard shared water resources in high-
risk areas.
2018 PERFORMANCE UPDATE
If we used no water at all, there would be no
beer. It is an essential ingredient both in our
products and for cleaning during the brewing
process. Our 2030 water usage target of 1.7 hl
used for every 1 hl of beer brewed will enable
us to meet our ambition of virtually eliminating
water waste.CARLSBERG GROUP SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2018 ZERO WATER WASTE 18

ACCIDENTS
CULTURE
Protecting the lives and health
of our people is a fundamental
value for us. We aim to achieve
a ZERO accidents culture by
making health & safety top of
mind at all times and by ensuring
compliance with our rules and
standards.
So how are we creating a lasting ZERO
accidents culture? It starts with leaders setting
an example. But it works best when our people
on the ground are trained to observe rules and
procedures, and empowered to continually
identify risks and propose solutions themselves,
thereby enabling us to prevent accidents and, if
they do occur, learn from them.
2018 PERFORMANCE
In 2017, we achieved a significant reduction in
accident rates – and in 2018 we sustained this
performance. We are focused on continuing to
reduce accidents year-on-year.
The Group lost-time accident rate (LTAR) in
2018 was 4.3. Specifically, the number of
employee lost-time accidents (LTAs) wentCARLSBERG GROUP SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2018 ZERO ACCIDENTS CULTURE 28
down to 169 from 183 in 2017, while the
ZERO ACCIDENTS CULTURE number contractor LTAs was 42 in 2018.
EXAMPLES OF OUR SDG ACTIONS
Despite the sustained accident rate, our
performance in 2018 was not good enough, as
we recorded three fatalities: a subcontractor in
a construction accident, a brewery worker in a
boiler accident and a sales employee in a traffic
collision. We are deeply saddened by these
tragic accidents, which underline the need for
day-to-day vigilance to create a ZERO
accidents culture.
