Direct owner: Carlsberg Breweries A/S
Ultimate parent: Carlsberg A/S

The Carlsberg Foundation holds the majority of the votes in Carlsberg A/S. That is control, not ownership, and Tally records it as a separate claim rather than naming the foundation as the parent.

How Tally knows

Carlsberg Sverige AB is the Swedish operating company, with the Falkenberg brewery, the Nya Carnegiebryggeriet craft brewery and the Ramlösa water plant. The group's brewing business sits in Carlsberg Breweries A/S, under the listed Carlsberg A/S. The Carlsberg Foundation held about 30 per cent of the share capital and 76 per cent of the votes at 31 December 2021, so it controls the listed parent through its A-shares — but it is not the direct owner of the Swedish company, and Tally does not record it as one.

What we still don’t know

The Foundation's holding is cited as at 31 December 2021 and has not been refreshed from a current annual report.
