Alivaria brewery has implemented a corporate social responsibility strategy focused on four key priorities: energy and carbon footprint, water, responsible consumption, and occupational safety. Some of the initiatives under this strategy include reducing CO2 emissions by using renewable energy, decreasing water usage, promoting responsible drinking through campaigns and product labeling, and creating a safety culture to achieve zero accidents. Alivaria has seen success in these areas, such as lowering its carbon footprint and water consumption compared to previous years. The company aims to have zero carbon emissions by 2030 and 100% renewable energy use by 2022 through its continued CSR efforts.

From the point of view of safety
standards, Olivaria is guided by the
laws of the Republic of Belarus,
corporate labor protection policies
and internal regulatory documents.
Equipment protection
system
The company launches the Lockout tagout
system. LOTO is a safety procedure that ensures
that dangerous machinery and energy sources are
properly shut off and are not started up
unexpectedly while maintenance or service work
is being completed.
Why is this system useful?
The essence of LOTO is to identify risks
associated with injury or death of employees in
connection with the launch of machines or the
release of energy during the maintenance of
machinery and equipment.

13. CSR strategy for the company
At the moment, the company is implementing an excellent program “Together Towards Zero”, that allows the company to
compensate for the damage that it does to society. However, a couple of points should be added to the company's strategy:
1. Glass bottle as a type of packaging has a great potential for development for the company. The company should
increase the use of recycled packaging, that means returning the bottle from the market and re-pour beer into it. This will help
reduce waste to the environment.
The image of a glass bottle should be used in all advertising campaigns . Due to this, sales of beer in this package will
continue to grow.
2. The popularity of non-alcoholic beer in Belarus should be increased. That will help people develop a tendency to
move from alcoholic to non-alcoholic beer, which has beneficial effects on people's health. But company need a revision of
state regulation of advertising of non-alcoholic beer, which is now equivalent to the category of beer and low-alcohol
beverages.
3. Contribute to the development of local communities:
● Creating social and economic value
● Support for local environmental initiatives
● Implementation of internship programs and development of partnerships with educational institutions for the
implementation of programs aimed at the development of youth
● Partnership with international non-profit organizations on emergency assistance
