Diageo to invest €100m in Dublin facility 👏
The British multinational beverage company have announced plans to invest €100m in decarbonising its St. James's Gate facility, which has brewed Guinness for 264 years.
It is part of Diageo's mission to achieve net-zero carbon emissions for the site, with the investment being used to transform energy and water consumption.
The alcohol giant aims to make it one of the 'most efficient breweries in the world by 2030'.
Simon Harris, Prime Minister of Ireland, commented:
"Guinness has been made in Dublin for over a quarter of a millennium, and today so many tourists visit the location while they are here. It’s not just a green transformation for St James’s Gate but a flagship transformation that will send a strong message to the world."
"It also demonstrates the government’s commitment to businesses, big and small, to make the green transition, and to work in partnership to help achieve our climate goals.”
Debra Crew, CEO of Diageo, added:
"I want to thank the Taoiseach and Minister Burke for their support for our ambitious decarbonisation plan for St James’s Gate as demonstrated by the support from our partners Enterprise Ireland."
"We’re 260 years into our 9,000-year lease at St James’s Gate and this investment will ensure that Guinness has an exciting and long-term sustainable future. We are proud to lead the way on decarbonisation, both as a major Irish business and as an industry-leading company.”
