Asahi Beverages: version 2

Saved 2026-09-24 03:54 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled owner_unknown: added owned_by company/asahi-holdings-australia (verified, ^ms-2025), the Australian parent that lodges the group joint modern slavery statement naming Asahi Beverages Pty Ltd (ACN 004 243 994) as a wholly owned subsidiary (2024 and 2025 statements); kept parent_org Asahi Group Holdings. Created stub company/asahi-holdings-australia (ACN 135 315 767, LEI 984500A9F82F2E0ABC95) with owned_by Asahi Group Holdings (verified by its own statement, and GLEIF also gives that direct and ultimate parent); Asahi Group Holdings already records no_corporate_parent, so the chain ends there. The statement does not say whether AHA holds the shares directly or through an intermediate company such as Schweppes Holdings Pty Ltd, and the ASIC shareholder record was not accessible. Updated registered_address and the office establishment to Level 19, 2 Southbank Boulevard, which the 2025 statement (approved 21 April 2026) gives for all Australian group entities; the lapsed GLEIF record still says 58 Queensbridge Street. Rewrote summary (dropped the parent-of-CUB wording, since the statements put CUB under AHA) and split About into a lede and an ownership/history paragraph. Added References ms-2025, ms-2024, gleif-aha; refreshed gleif-ab accessed date.. Current is v3.
