  • Head of AiS & Sustainability

    Head of AiS & Sustainability

    Market Complexity
    In line with our business values and with our strategy of being ‘the most celebrated business in every market’, EABL has a deep and fundamental strategic commitment to making a sustainable and meaningful contribution to the socio-economic development of the societies in which it operates.
    KBL has invested Kshs 15b towards the development of a state-of-the-art plant in Kisumu, with the aim of opening up Kisumu and surrounding counties at a socio-economic level through the creation of jobs, economic growth and creation of a strong value chain. Kisumu Brewery will operate in a unique space influenced by a number of different local governments who represent multiple complex issues, diverse socio-economic orientations, local politics and different cultures.
    Lake/Western region has experienced a slowdown in development over the years. The new brewery therefore represents transformation, hope and bright prospects for the region: employment and business opportunities, development – commercial and agriculture, administrative and political gains. These conditions in turn also manifest in a highly sensitive environment in which the new brewery and its technical and commercial operations will operate in.
    Deep stakeholder management has been key in the progression of the Kisumu brewery project more so in issues management and reputation enhancement. There is an evident need to strategically increase our engagement activities within Kisumu/Western Region.  Issues resolution in form of regulation, commercial licensing support will remain core to the Kisumu plant operations.
    Sustainability – Our sustainability and responsibility targets for 2020 focus on the areas that are most material to our business and that will contribute to long-term impact and success, delivering value for EABL, our stakeholders and communities. The strategic pillars are: (1) Leadership in alcohol in society (2) Building Thriving Communities (3) Environment Impact. There is also the need to link our Sustainability agenda with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
    KBL being an agri based business that has operations in raw materials sourcing, brewing and distillery operations creates a huge value chain form the agriculture and manufacturing sectors. This leads to complex stakeholder relationship from farmers, suppliers and government.
    Tax Policy – A key element of our public policy agenda is anchored on a tax policy that provides a Local Raw Material (LRM) incentive on sorghum, millet and cassava. This incentive generates over GBP 80Min NSV annually (about 20% of KBL’s NSV).
    Illicit trade – The western region of Kenya is a hotbed of consumption of illicit alcoholic products mainly traditional brews and contraband. There lies a huge potential to recruit from illicit products for both value and mainstream brands.
    KBL has two breweries in Nairobi and Kisumu. The Nairobi KBL brewery is on water stressed area and has a capacity of 6m hectoliters. The new brewery in Kisumu was built at investment valued at GBP 117M and can produce 1m hectoliters. This new brewery brings in new complexities in public policy and community engagement. East African Maltings Limited is the agriculture sourcing arm of the business with complex stakeholders engaged in providing raw materials to the business.
