Trade measures pressure Chinese companies to focus on carbon

An article recently published by China CSR states that developed countries are using carbon tariffs and carbon trading to limit China's beer exports.

The article points to a large variance between energy consumption of China's brewing technology in comparison to their peers in developed countries.

The popular Tsingtao beer has responded by signing a research agreement that aims to measure greenhouse gas levels in brewing beer and to help the company design a more environmentally friendly production model.

Expect more companies from developing countries to boost their sustainability in a response to developed country import requirements or consumer preferences.
