(1) In July 2008, Coors Brewing Company (US and Puerto Rico) merged with Miller Brewing Company to form MillerCoors LLC. For financial reporting under US accounting standards, MillerCoors LLC is accounted for by us under the equity method. Therefore, MillerCoors' revenues and expenses are not reported in Molson Coors' consolidated results. Molson Coors does receive and report 42% of the net profits of MillerCoors (while our partner in MillerCoors, SABMiller, receives 58% of the net profits). In 2009 and beyond, no revenues from US and Puerto Rico operations will be reported by Molson Coors.

BACKGROUND TO DATA
Our CO2 emissions decreased by 12% in 2008. With the formation of MillerCoors our inventory scope has changed in the US and we closed a brewery in Edmonton, Canada. Our Scope 2 emissions in the UK were calculated using an upgraded emission factor for grid electricity. In addition, we have reconfigured our brewing capacity to maximize efficiency and moved production to more efficient facilities.
In the US, we saw a decrease in solid waste generation of 58% following a great effort to reduce waste sent to landfill. For example, our Virginia Brewery achieved 99.2% waste diversion from landfill through the committed efforts of employees focusing on waste streams. At our Golden brewery, an employee environmental group expanded recycling efforts in the workplace again allowing the brewery to increase waste diversion from landfill.
In the UK, an increase in solid waste is due to the waste water treatment plant in Tadcaster. This waste is a by-product of the treatment process and is unavoidable. Of the extra by-product tonnes 98% went to a composting facility and were recycled. The increase in water usage is largely volume related (up 5% on 2007).
In 2008 we appointed The Corporate Citizenship Company to provide third party assurance of our environmental data. See their Assurance Statement for more details.
