The HEINEKEN Company

We are on our journey to become the best-connected brewer. For this ambition, we need to digitise our route-to-consumer, unlock the value of data, simplify and automate our end-to-end processes, build a more modern technology landscape and create a digitally enabled organisation. In 2023, we have increased investments in digital transformation to build a future-proof company. Our Chief D&T Officer Ronald den Elzen notes "We have made sinificant progress in building out our capabilities in digital and technology to further maximise the customer experience, unlock business value and to grow our business."

Međunarodni dan žena posvećen je prepoznavanju pozitivne vrijednosti koju žene donose svijetu, svojim obiteljima i zajednicama. Prilika je to da dodatno promišljamo o ravnopravnosti i proslavimo sve naše ženske uzore i njihova postignuća. I dok mi nazdavljamo svim našim kolegicama, podsjetile smo se na intervju objavljen prije nekog vremena, u kojem su naše Maja, Sara i Tatjana podijelile zanimljiva iskustva o tome kako je biti žena u području koje se često smatra ‘muškim teritorijem’.   https://lnkd.in/dKt-JbJP

We have earned our place for the third consecutive year on CDP’s 2023 Supplier Engagement Leader board for raising the level of climate action across our value chain. CDP, also known as Climate Disclosure Project, is a non-profit organisation that focuses on corporate disclosure of sustainability strategies and metrics. HEINEKEN reports every year on CDP for its climate and water strategy. Our active engagement with our strategic suppliers in Agriculture, Packaging, Logistics and Cooling has supported their transition towards renewable energy, directly impacting our scope 3 emissions. For example, in 2023, a total of 39 suppliers registered in the Supplier Leadership on Climate Transition (SLoCT), an industry consortium launching a climate school to develop suppliers across the value chain. In addition, as part of our Packaging the Future programme, 46 packaging suppliers are committed to Science Based-Targets to focus on increasing their use of renewable energy. We'll continue to make progress in creating a simplified and targeted strategy to further unlock Scope 3 carbon emission reductions in our operating companies. While more needs to be done, we take a moment to raise a glass and celebrate this achievement as well as the teams who made it happened. Together, we can #BrewABetterWorld!

We are now three years into developing and executing our Brew a Better World 2030 strategy. Sustainability & Responsibility are an integral part of how we operate as a business. As our Chief Corporate Affairs Officer Joanna Price puts it: “We must continue to embed sustainability into the fabric of how we work. The steps that we are taking today will enable us to anticipate and mitigate risks, adapt to changing market conditions and seize new opportunities. It’s not only the right thing for the planet and society, but also for our business and stakeholders.” Discover how we delivered on our #BaBW ambitions in our 2023 Annual Report: https://lnkd.in/ePiNtWkj #Heineken #BrewABetterWorld #EverGreen #Sustainability #Responsibility

Meet our latest bottle - The Star Bottle – a new generation of premium returnable packaging. The bottle, launching in South Africa, is about more than beautiful design, it moves our portfolio a step away from single-use glass towards more sustainable returnable packaging. This is part of our circularity strategy for closed loop packaging which focuses on three principles: Reuse, Recycled content and Recyclable by design. By 2030 our goal is to turn waste into value and close material loops throughout the value chain.

Brewing with the power of the sun ☀️🍺 Our brewery in Valencia, Spain just switched on a cutting-edge thermal solar technology, which is expected to prevent almost 1,300 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year. This is in line with our goal to reach net-zero emissions across our entire value chain by 2040. The park consists of 6,000 square meters of mirrors and 182 Fresnel modules achieving a peak thermal power of 4MW. With more than 60 companies involved, the collaborative nature of this project is truly remarkable. Cheers to our team in Spain for this incredible milestone on our path to net-zero. #NetZero #BrewABetterWorld #Sustainability

Spotted any of our e-trucks on the Autobahn yet? In partnership with Einride, we are introducing five electric trucks fuelled by renewable energy between our Den Bosch brewery and Duisburg distribution centre in Germany, which will reduce ~930 tonnes per year in carbon emissions. The project also includes the implementation of the charging infrastructure and an AI-driven operating system that will help to optimize this delivery route.
