2Sustainability – What does it mean?

World Commission on Environment and Development defines sustainability as:

“forms of progress that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.”

At Foster’s we interpret that as:

“Continually improving our practices to ensure we minimise negative impacts and maximise the positive social, environmental and economic outcomes of our global business operations.”
