Executive Summary

AB InBev demonstrates strong climate governance architecture anchored by CDP double-A status, SBTi-validated 1.5°C targets (S1+2 already exceeded at -39.2%), and the largest sustainability-linked loan in history ($10.1B RCF). Industry-leading water stewardship (2.40 hl/hl) and deep agricultural supply chain engagement (SmartBarley, 20,000+ farmers) are standout strengths. Downgraded from Platinum due to CSO reporting line below CEO, absence of ISO certifications across 200+ breweries, thin manufacturing-level operational evidence, and EU regulatory readiness gaps.
