Wholesaler Programs

• Wholesaler Safety Partnership Program helps Anheuser-Busch wholesalers improve employee, fleet and property safety, as well as evaluate their safety management systems for compliance with the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. We also provide free on-site consultations and assistance to wholesalers participating in the Weiser Insurance Program, which underwrites workers’ compensation, property and liability coverages exclusively for Anheuser-Busch wholesalers.
• Wholesaler Integrated Learning Program delivers distance learning over the Busch Satellite Network, a private television network linking wholesalers to Anheuser-Busch training services. The “Workplace Safety Series” airs programs addressing various aspects of safety and risk management.
• Sharing Knowledge Program shares best practices between the Wholesale Operations Division and the Anheuser-Busch Independent Wholesaler family in partnership with the Wholesaler Panel.
• Wholesaler Website provides Safety Partnership Program information over the Internet. This website also contains an environmental guidance document to help independent wholesalers comply with environmental regulations, conserve natural resources and implement recycling programs in their communities.

Partnering With Wholesalers to Increase Recycling of Stretch Film

Anheuser-Busch has partnered with our wholesalers to cost-effectively recycle the stretch film used to secure pallets of Anheuser-Busch beer during transportation. The Anheuser-Busch Recycling Corporation (A-BRC) coordinates the pickup of recovered film from the 22 participating distribution sites and the delivery of bales to recyclers. In 2006, 1.13 million pounds (513 metric tons) of stretch film were recovered for recycling.
