Corporate citizenship

As an integral part of society of our host countries, we have at least the moral obligation to enhance the positive impact of our presence and reduce as much as possible any real or potential negative impacts. Only this way it will result in mutual benefit for the local communities and for the company. As an active corporate citizen, we recognise the need to do everything we can to minimise the adverse impacts our operations have on local communities. The processes undertaken at our production units can disturb people living in their immediate vicinity; similarly, distribution of our products can exacerbate traffic problems.

 

Local operating companies are free to implement our policy in ways that meet the needs of the local community in which they operate. All Heineken companies have policies covering donations to, and non-financial support of, good causes, as well as non-commercial sponsorship.
