19 Febbraio 2018 - 2:40PM
Amsterdam, 19 February 2018 -
Heineken N.V. today published its combined financial and
sustainability Annual Report 2017. HEINEKEN firmly believes in
integrating sustainability in its business, therefore the company's
sustainability strategy 'Brewing a Better World' is one of its four
business priorities.
HEINEKEN's financial highlights have been reported
in its 2017 Full-Year results media release published on 12
February 2018, which can be downloaded from the company
website.
Together with the 2017 Full-Year results, HEINEKEN
announced its 'Drop the C' programme for renewable energy. The
company aims to grow its share of renewable thermal energy and
electricity in production from the current level of 14% to 70% by
2030. To drive a real change towards renewable energy the brewer
will not purchase unbundled certificates to meet its reduction
targets. Beyond production, in the next two years new science based
reduction targets will be set for distribution, cooling and, for
the first time, packaging.
HEINEKEN's 2017 sustainability highlights include
the following:
-
HEINEKEN has surpassed its 2020 target for
CO2 emissions in
production by reaching 6.1 kg CO2 e/hl, down
from 6.5 kg CO2 e/hl in 2016
(a 41% decline since 2008). Emissions decreased in absolute terms
as well: even though production volumes were 57% higher in 2017
than in 2008, emissions were 7% lower.
-
Average water consumption in water-stressed
areas decreased to 3.2 litres of water per litre of beer (2014:
3.8). Global average water consumption remained stable compared to
last year, and decreased 29% compared to 2008, the baseline year
for the 2020 commitments.
-
28% of main raw materials came from sustainable
sources (2016: 17%) with 42% of our agricultural raw materials used
in Africa and the Middle East sourced locally. However, there is
more to be done in sourcing agricultural raw materials used in
Africa after challenging economic conditions impacted the ability
to source locally within the continent.
-
10% of total Heineken® media spend was dedicated
to responsible consumption campaigns, in more than 70% of operating
companies in scope.
The full Heineken N.V. 2017 Annual Report can be
accessed and downloaded from the company website
