At Mahou San Miguel, we believe that we can do much to make the world of tomorrow better for everyone by working on sustainability.
We want to be an agent of social transformation and evolve in what we care about most and know how to do best: to create moments of unity and connection to improve people’s lives.
And so, together, we are working to contribute to the economy around us, the sustainability of the planet
and the
quality of life of all people.
This is our commitment to 2030.
We will support our customers in their daily operations, we will take care of our team as we have always done, and we will strengthen our ties to our community to stay close to it.
Above all, to those that most need it.
• We will take action to fight climate change with a 100% commitment.
• 100% of our containers will be recyclable.
• 100% of our electricity, green.
• 100% of our fleet, sustainable.
• 100% of our barley, as well

We will encourage socialising and work to create a positive social impact based on the authenticity and singularity of our brands.
We will promote a sustainable and healthy lifestyle and conscious consumption of our products by providing transparent information.
Because people will always be at the centre of our decisions
That’s how we are and that’s how we will be in the future.
VAMOS 2030
Towards the future we want to see.
MAHOU SAN MIGUEL
To achieve the future we want to see, we have to start with the present. That’s why we integrate sustainability into our daily work, so that each time you enjoy one of our brands, you’ll know that every sip embodies our firm commitment to improving people’s lives and our world through three lines of action: Progress, Natural Habitat and Well-being.
Each of these lines aims to contribute to creating a more balanced society and a more sustainable environment, a goal we are working for in collaboration with organisations, institutions, citizens and, of course, other companies. To do so, we have established a shared vision with our entire value chain based on the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations Global Compact, a reference forum of we have belong to for over ten years and which demonstrates our long-term commitment to sustainability.
We will promote the on-trade and tourism sector of the future by supporting our customers and collaborators in transforming their businesses in line with new trends and accompanying them in their day-to-day operations.
Every one of our bars and restaurants is replete with stories and experiences related to one of our brands. So, we want to support the entire sector in its evolution, through training and new possibilities, so that it can continue to be one of the things that makes our country special.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will make 95% of our purchases locally and support 100% of our value chain to help it incorporate sustainability criteria.
Sustainability is a shared commitment. That’s why we want to lead by example: 95% of our purchases are made in Spain, and we support all our partners and suppliers with training and guidelines so that they can integrate sustainability into their day-to-day operations.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will promote stable, quality employment by comprehensively developing the capacities of the entire Mahou San Miguel team in a flexible, diverse and inclusive environment.
People are at the centre of all that we do, starting with the employees who make up our team. We are proud to be a team where all ideas are welcome, as long as they are proposed respectfully, and we work to create an environment that allows creativity to flow.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will ensure access to job opportunities for at least 80% of the young people who participate in the social programmes of the Mahou San Miguel Foundation and, in doing so, help professionalise the on-trade and tourism sector.
Good service is fundamental, especially in a bar. Through our Foundation’s programmes, we are contributing to training the servers of the future, to make the attention we receive in bars and restaurants progressively more outstanding.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will guarantee a high degree of commitment to integrity, transparency and ethical values.
We teach and inform through our products and channels to make our commitment to sustainability transparent at all times.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
Sustainable development goals:
We will promote the circularity of all our containers and materials by eliminating virgin plastic and guaranteeing that they are 100% recyclable and reusable.
We follow the rule of the 3 R’s: reduce, recycle, reuse. We always take these principles into account in the development of our containers.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will reduce our water consumption and carbon footprint by double digits by 2030, use 100% green electricity in all our activities, and promote renewable energy projects.
Sustainability is increasingly important in the efficiency of all our processes.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will work to ensure that 100% of our barley comes from sustainable farming and work with farmers to continue producing quality products that respect the natural environment.
We pay attention to sustainability from the moment the first seed for our products is planted, in collaboration with local producers.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will promote efficient and 100% sustainable mobility in our fleet.
We are upgrading our company, sales and transport vehicles so that each time you see one on the street, you will know that it is operating sustainably.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will protect the biodiversity of the environments where we have an impact and offset 100% of our CO2 emissions by 2040.
We feel very close to all the communities where we are present. That’s why we want to protect their environmental richness by reducing our consumption, encouraging volunteer work by our employees and offsetting our emissions.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
Sustainable development goals:
We will promote people’s health through initiatives related to happiness and physical well-being and through healthy and inclusive products.
We work together with institutions of all kinds to increase our society’s well-being, as well as through more balanced products. We will promote sport to ensure the physical and emotional health of both our employees and society as a whole.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will raise awareness to encourage a more sustainable lifestyle and achieve conscious consumption of our products.
One of the small gestures we want to integrate into our day-to-day life is responsible consumption in order to make our lifestyle more and more sustainable.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will provide detailed and accessible information about the ingredients, nutritional value and sustainability of 100% of our products.
In order to live sustainably, it is essential to be informed. That idea is what led us to include relevant information about our products in terms of nutritional value and preparation.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will encourage socialising to enhance people’s quality of life.
We are proud of our way of life and of serving as facilitators of social relationships. We will continue to incentivise the special moments that are shared through our products.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
We will generate a positive social impact through the authenticity and uniqueness of each of our brands.
They all have their own personality that makes them ideal for every situation. We will continue working to ensure their diversity so that you can always find one that’s right for your circumstances.
Here’s how we’re doing it:
