The report focuses on the company's overall progress in promoting excellence in environmental, health, and safety performance for its brewing, packaging, entertainment, and brewing-related operations. The dedication to excellence in EHS initiatives extends to the people of Anheuser-Busch, who continually seek to improve the company's performance by implementing comprehensive system improvements that conserve resources and reduce waste and safety risks.
The following are a few highlights of the company's performance and accomplishments that are included in the 2003 EHS report:
"Today, more than ever, Anheuser-Busch remains focused on accomplishing a better tomorrow for the company, its employees, and the environment," said John Stier, director of environmental affairs for Anheuser-Busch.
"We have also made tremendous strides in reducing accidents and injuries in the workplace," said David Costello, director of corporate safety, health and risk management for Anheuser-Busch. "We will not sit back and be satisfied with the successes of last year. Instead, we are proactive and focused on making the health and safety of our employees our first priority."
Also in 2003, the company received the prestigious Keep America Beautiful Vision Award for its overall environmental leadership. The award was possible thanks to the efforts and commitment of employees who implement Anheuser-Busch's environmental philosophy on a daily basis.
This year, in a survey of 10,000 business leaders and securities analysts, Anheuser-Busch ranked first overall in quality of products and services among nearly 600 companies researched in FORTUNE magazine's 2004 "America's Most Admired Companies" listing. The company also ranked No. 1 overall in the beverage industry for the first time in 20 years, and topped our national beverage-industry peers in all the categories surveyed, including "social responsibility."
