Emission reduction plan
The roadmap of Modelo Group towards decarbonization by 2040, contains three scopes: reduction of emissions in breweries and vertical plants, such as bottle factories; reduction of emissions derived from energy consumption; and reduction of indirect emissions involved in the production of raw materials, packaging, logistics and cooling systems, which represent 80 percent of the company's emissions.
"We are looking to inspire and motivate our value chain to join these decarbonization efforts for the benefit of all of us in the country. We have experience and we want to share it with all our suppliers so that we can continue to create a world with more reasons to give," said Calderón.
So that Modelo Group can achieve the goal of decarbonizing its operations and its value chain requires the installation of solar panels or other distributed generation solutions in more than 10,000 locations throughout Mexico.
The solution is to provide these stores with their own sustainable energy, which will contribute significantly to the reduction of emissions and the responsible use of energy resources.
Modelo Group highlights that 52 percent of the electrical energy used in its operations is renewable and some of its breweries are self-sufficient in terms of energy. This includes the use of wind and photovoltaic energy.
In addition, they have advanced in their goal with the acquisition of low-emission vehicles, such as the 135 electric vehicles that are already part of their fleet, including 55 heavy-duty trucks, and the opening of the first electric charging station for heavy-duty vehicles in Mexico City.
