Heineken N.V. publishes combined financial and sustainability
Annual Report 2022
Amsterdam, 23 February 2023 - Heineken
N.V. ('HEINEKEN') today published its combined financial and
sustainability annual report. We delivered a strong set of results
in 2022 in a continuously challenging and volatile environment,
growing ahead of the beer category in the majority of our markets.
We are on a journey to make sustainability and responsibility
drivers of growth and meaningfulness with consumers. In 2023, we
will continue to raise the bar on sustainability and
responsibility.
Key highlights from HEINEKEN’s Annual Report 2022 include:
- Q&A with
Dolf van den Brink, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO, on our
EverGreen strategy.
- 2022 detailed
business review, highlights from our brands and innovations,
consumer trends and financial statements.
- Insights about
our EverGreen strategic priorities to shape the future of beer and
beyond; fund the growth, fuel the profit; raise the bar on
sustainability & responsibility; become the best-connected
brewer; unlock the full potential of our people.
- A detailed update and achievements
on Brew a Better World 2030.
- 18% reduction of absolute
carbon emissions in scope 1 and 2 since 2018, on
our path to become net zero by 2030, and in our full value chain by
2040;
- We reduced water
usage in our breweries to 3.0 hectolitre per hectolitre
(hl/hl) in water-stressed areas and 3.3 hl/hl on average worldwide;
When it comes to circularity, more than 75% of our
production sites are now landfill-free, meaning 99% of our total
waste volume globally was reused or recycled in 2022;
- We increased the percentage
of women in senior management positions to 27%, with the
aim to increase this to at least 30% by 2025 and 40% by 2030;
- 100% of operating companies have
been assessed on equal pay for equal work and 100%
have detailed action plans to drive year-on-year progress;
- To ensure that all our employees
worldwide earn at least a fair
wage1 by 2023, we have assessed 100% of
operating companies so far, of which 99.96% are compliant;
- 100% of our in-scope markets had a
social impact initiative in
place, as well as a partnership with governments and society to
address alcohol related
harm;
- Heineken® 0.0 is now available
in close to 110 markets and we are halfway in our journey to ensure
a zero-alcohol option for at least two strategic brands in the
majority of our operating companies, so that there
is always a choice;
- 1.2 billion consumers reached with
Heineken® responsible consumption campaigns, investing over
10% of its media spend, making moderation
cool;
- We continued to raise the bar on
our governance and transparent
reporting: we introduced three ESG metrics in our
long-term incentive plan for senior managers, representing 25% of
total remuneration, and completed our first TCFD analysis of which
outcomes are included in the Annual Report.
We are mobilising the organisation and deploying EverGreen at
scale as we pursue our dream to shape the future of beer
and beyond. Going forward we expect further progress towards
building great brands, digitising our route to consumer, unlocking
the full potential of our people and on our Brew a Better World
activities.
