WHAT IS ASAHI DOING TO ENHANCE SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY, PARTICULARLY IN RELATION TO SCOPE 3? We have a very bold commitment. We want to be net zero by 2040 for scopes 1, 2 and 3.

By 2030, we are targeting a 70 % decrease in scopes 1 and 2 and 30 % Scope 3.

So what we are doing now with all colleagues around the world is the roadmap of where we can get to, what are the required costs, investments, change management related to this, where the solution exists, where it’ s still a problem, the feasibility of all these actions.

So this is my role – to ensure that we understand how to do these things, not just to have a lovely commitment.

We are really accelerating the progress in all these areas.

Last but not least, the reason why I’ m here in London is just to make Asahi Group more visible and to engage with partners because sustainability cannot be done by one company or one industry.

HOW HAS YOUR NEW CENTRAL PROCUREMENT TEAM HELPED? A very important part of our journey related to Scope 3 was the establishment one year ago of our central procurement team. It’ s connecting all people working in procurement around the world.

The central team is in Singapore and we have people there who are only dedicated to sustainability and innovation.
