International Presence

According to Roberto Cavalli, integrated supply chain director of Birra Peroni, the company boasts great industrial experience, enabling it to distinguish itself in both national and international markets.

The positive performances of the Italian brewery also coincide with the company's commitment to sustainability, Cavalli added.

Due to a number of investments in its production facilities, CO2 emissions at Peroni decreased from 5.19 Kg CO2/Hl in 2015 to 4.57 Kg CO2/Hl in 2018.

The company also reported that electricity and water consumption has dropped steadily over the past four years.
