Risk management



 
 
Doing business inherently involves taking risks, and by managing these risks Heineken strives to be a sustainable and performance-driven company. Structured business risk assessments are part of Heineken’s business planning and control process. Operational risks are mainly managed through the embedding of Key Business Controls based on Heineken common processes and systems.  

The risk management and control systems are considered to be in balance with Heineken’s risk profile, although such systems can never provide absolute assurance. Following Heineken’s continuing growth and changing risk profile, the Company’s risk management and control systems are subject to continuous review and adaptations.
