Contributing to the reduction of HIV/AIDS

Despite the low incidence of HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic, as a member of the international group SABMiller our company understands its social and economic consequences. We are convinced that the basic prerequisites of successful combat with any disease are found in sufficient awareness of risks, possibility of spreading and the means of protection. As a member of a global group we stand ready to contribute to the fight against this disease, be it through utilisation of our intellectual and technical resources, or our extensive international experience and access to valuable information.

We monitore the prevalence of HIV/Aids in the Czech Republic on a half-yearly basis.

Red Ribbon Charitable Collection
Raising awareness of HIV/AIDS and supporting preventive programs form part of our global strategy and one of our sustainable development priorities. On world AIDS day we staged the Red Ribbon charitable collection in all our breweries for the second year running. About 300 of our employees purchased Red Ribbon badges, Plzeňský Prazdroj rounding up and doubling the sum raised. We thus joined forces and contributed to approximately 50 anonymous HIV infection tests.
