<p>This study examines how two multinational breweries operating in Tanzania—Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL) and Serengeti Breweries Limited (SBL)—integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies and align their operations with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

摘要

This study examines how two multinational breweries operating in Tanzania—Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL) and Serengeti Breweries Limited (SBL)—integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategies and align their operations with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Using a qualitative comparative case study approach and underpinned by stakeholder and institutional theory, the study analyzes sustainability and ESG reports from 2018 to 2024. The results of the analysis show that TBL, a subsidiary of AB InBev, achieved a 15% reduction in water use between 2022 and 2023, attained a water-use efficiency of 2.7 hectoliters per hectoliter (hl/hl), and 89.8% of its packaging was returnable or composed of recycled materials. In contrast, SBL, owned by Diageo, invested 380 million Tanzanian shillings (TSh) in the construction of the Kwamizi Dam in the Tanga Region, providing 108,800 cubic meters of clean water to 2000 beneficiaries, and empowered over 100 persons with disabilities—half of them women—through agricultural and business training. TBL demonstrates leadership in environmental innovation and circular resource management, while SBL exhibits a strong social-inclusion orientation, advancing gender equity and community livelihoods. Both firms show clear alignment with SDGs 6 (clean water and sanitation), 12 (responsible consumption and production), and 13 (climate action), although their strategic priorities reflect the influence of their parent corporations and local contextual adaptations. This study contributes to ESG scholarship in the African manufacturing sector by revealing how global sustainability frameworks are localized in emerging markets. The findings have practical and social implications, illustrating how corporate sustainability initiatives can foster inclusive development, empower marginalized groups, and strengthen the role of business in advancing national development goals.
