It gives me mmense pleasure to share our Annual Sustainability Report for 2021-2022 and to celebrate our achievements and performance improvements this past year. We have earnestly continued to accelerate our sustainability efforts in 2021, challenging ourselves to ensure that sustainability is central to the mission and drive of every single EABL employee, department and market where we operate.

We firmly believe that a focus on sustainability is the right thing to do, integral to our culture of “bold, progressive, connected” and a central enabler of our continued success. As a business, our ten-year plan on sustainability - Society 2030: Spirit of Progress, takes into account the influence and impact of our decisions and actions on our stakeholders and the environment.

As we share our second Annual Sustainability Report, we are excited to continue a legacy of transparency, accountability and commitment to progress against our ambitious social, economic and environmental goals.

As we mark our centenary anniversary, I want to thank the Board, my Leadership Teams at KBL, SBL and UBL, and all our staff across EABL for having closely embraced our Sustainability Strategy, Society 2030: Spirit of Progress. recently launched Annual Report, that was unveiled to our shareholders and other stakeholders on 15th September, 2022. During the launch, I was pleased to note the keen interest in sustainable production, which remains the anchor of our business both from a Diageo Global and EABL Group point of view.

Our business depends on natural resources, from farming and production of our ingredients to the manufacturing and distribution of each and every one of our products. However, every other day, another research finding, news story or environmental-related disaster comes with more evidence that our planet is in a crisis. In spite of these seemingly insurmountable challenges, EABL is taking the lead in developing solutions. We are purposefully driving a shared prosperity agenda to guarantee value for our employees, consumers and business partners including our distributors and retailers.

Our staff have continued to be our anchor in bringing our sustainability initiatives to life. Various departments, and products, have ensured that sustainability is engrained as part of our business activities.

In the last financial year, we made significant strides against our three pillars namely: Promote Positive Drinking, Champion Inclusion and Diversity and Pioneer Grain to Glass Sustainability.

" 21st century choice: Look after our planet and it will look after us, or don’t and face the consequences - Phil Harding"

I purposely choose to start with British archeologist Phil Harding’s quote as I give an overview of SBL’s Sustainability initiatives in F22. The quote speaks not only to the responsibility that we have as individuals and corporations to look after our planet, but also to the hard fact that there will be repercussions if we don’t take up the mantle

At SBL, in F22, we continued to prioritize sustainability as a key foundation of our business. We looked at an end-to-end approach to production and distribution of our products against the backdrop of our strong Sustainability Strategy - Society 2030: Spirit of Progress. We looked at our targets for the three pillars: Promote Positive Drinking, Champion Inclusion and Diversity, and Pioneer Grain to Glass Sustainability as a compass towards contributing to a sustainable business in Tanzania.

Uganda Breweries Limited has a deeply rooted heritage dating back to 1959 when it became part of EABL to allow for a regional presence as a pioneer in the brewing industry in East Africa.

In this report, which primarily addresses our non-financial performance, I would like to focus on our physical business environment which spans around the natural resources MESSAGE FROM THE UBL MANAGING DIRECTOR Having marked over 60 years of our presence in Uganda, we pride ourselves of our deep understanding of the local business operating environment. 17 that we all rely upon for our existence. More than ever before, we at UBL, have heightened our focus on end-to-end sustainable production and distribution of our products.

As we report on our non-financial performance for F22 through our Sustainability Strategy, I can’t help but think of some of the startling occurrences that we are seeing in the world today, mainly as a result of climate change. From floods to prolonged droughts, many parts of the world have become affected and are grappling to reverse or even deal with these effects. This brings us to the realization that we must all play a part in ensuring that we are collectively working towards having sustainable operations in our organizations.

In driving Inclusion and Diversity, where we had target of ensuring that 50% of all our community programmes beneficiaries are women, we achieved a 63% success rate with our business in Uganda, UBL, leading at a 77% success rate. Collective responsibility, collaboration and ownership are the highlight of this year’s nonfinancial performance report for EABL. More than ever, we joined hands across the various departments to drive our Sustainability Strategy – Society 2030: Spirit of Progress
