SAB collaborates with CoCT, Tshwane to improve water supply
CAPE TOWN - South African Breweries has collaborated with local municipalities in Cape Town and Tshwane to help provide a total 4.4-billion litres of additional water per year for use by residents in those cities.
The additional 1.7-billion litres of water is able to provide for 58,000 households, of 4 people with a basic 100 litres per day based on the World Health Organization recommendations for basic needs. This amounts to a saving of more than R60,000 for the city per day or R23 million per year. “SAB recognises the importance of working in partnership with relevant stakeholders to bring about sustainable solutions to key water challenges that we collectively face in South Africa,” said Bishen Morgan, Procurement Director, Sustainability & Capabilities, SAB and AB InBev Africa.
