Budweiser Partners With River Network
Brewery City Projects | What You Can Do
On Saturday, June 5, people across the globe came together to participate in events and programs recognizing World Environment Day (WED).
In honor of this world-wide celebration, Anheuser-Busch and its Budweiser brand donated $150,000 to River Network to support watershed and conservation projects in each of the company’s 12 U.S. brewery cities.
WED is the day set aside by the United Nations to create awareness of the environment and encourage participation in sustainability programs. Anheuser-Busch and its parent company, Anheuser-Busch InBev, annually recognize this day and engage employees around the world to take action and get involved in projects that are beneficial to the environment and their local communities.
