On Oct. 14, Heineken México said its Monterrey plant matched the water it consumed over a decade with replenishment in the Río San Juan basin, Forbes México and Infobae’s EFE report said.
The company also described a separate 2 million cubic-meter volumetric replenishment benefit and said its decade of local restoration and soil-conservation work covered 1,779 hectares; it reported planting 2.4 million native trees.
The Río San Juan basin supplies about half of Monterrey’s water, according to both reports. Each attributes the water-balance figures to Heineken; neither describes an independent audit.
