S&N is a beer-led drinks business. We operate in the international brewing sector and currently rank number seven by volume sales in the world?s top ten brewers. S&N has market leading positions in 15 countries across Europe and Asia. Our business is primarily focused on Europe, where we are the number four brewer in volume terms and the number two in profit terms. We also hold key positions in development markets within Asia and major export markets including the USA. S&N has market leadership in three of the six largest beer markets in Europe ? the UK, France and Russia. Europe continues to be the home of beer, representing a third of world volumes. We have three of Europe's top ten beer brands in Baltika, Foster?s and Kronenbourg 1664. In addition to these key international brands, our portfolio includes national market leaders, such as John Smith?s and Strongbow in the UK, Kronenbourg Red&White in France, Sagres in Portugal, Lapin Kulta in Finland and Kingfisher in India. Amongst our speciality niche brands is Newcastle Brown Ale, primarily exported to the USA and Grimbergen, the Belgian Abbey beer. The issue of production, marketing and consumption of alcohol is very prominent. We welcome this debate and believe we have an important role in ensuring our products are consumed responsibly. S&N works with other brewers and stakeholders to ensure brewing retains and develops its reputation as a responsible and sustainable industry.
