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.

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.
