Over the past decade, HEINEKEN’S Brew a Better World strategy has had a profound influence on our business. It has driven us to innovate and collaborate to protect the environment, support local communities, and make a positive contribution to society.

As we move forward into a decade filled with complex challenges, we can only succeed if we let our planet and our communities thrive. Our Brew a Better World vision for 2030 raises the bar with new commitments to the environment, social sustainability, and responsible consumption on a path to a net zero, fairer and healthier world.

Our 2030 Brew a Better World ambitions are woven into the fabric of our growth strategy, EverGreen, putting sustainability and responsibility front and centre.

At HEINEKEN, we look ahead to a decade of ambitious collective action as the only way forward. Our revised strategy will raise our ambitions on climate action, accelerate our efforts to support the social agency, and see us being even bolder in promoting moderate consumption of alcohol. We will make it a fundamental priority to continue building brands that deliver our sustainability agenda.

Our path towards net zero impact

Our environmental sustainability agenda focuses on reaching net zero carbon emissions, maximising the circularity and conserving every drop of water.

Our path to an inclusive, fair, and equitable world

Our social sustainability agenda sees us embracing inclusion and diversity, aiming for gender balance and championing a culture of belonging in a safe workplace.

Our path to moderation and non-harmful use

Our responsible consumption agenda empowers consumers by providing choice and transparency, as well as advocating for no harmful use of alcohol.

Delivering on our ambitions

We are building execution and operational momentum to bring our stepped-up Brew a Better World 2030 ambitions to life. This means weaving sustainability into the fabric of how we run our business and the decisions we make, every day.

Spearheading our sustainability efforts is a renewed focus on green initiatives to achieve net zero carbon emissions, conserve water, and contribute to a circular economy in Singapore. We are the first global brewer to have our long-term net-zero and FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

At the same time, we champion social sustainability and believe in growing with the communities that we operate in. As a responsible brewer, we are committed to the message of moderation among beer lovers, and our vision is to empower consumers by providing choice over the right beverage for the right occasion, everywhere and at any time of the day.
