HEINEKEN expands carbon reduction efforts at breweries with new technical partnerships

HEINEKEN has achieved a new milestone in its journey to Net Zero, signing three additional partners, Arcadis, NIRAS and Royal HaskoningDHV, for its global Integrated Net Zero Production programme. These partners will bring technical expertise to support HEINEKEN’s global ambition to reach net zero in scope 1 and 2 by 2030.

HEINEKEN’s strategy to reduce emissions in its operations focuses on reducing the energy demand at production and logistics sites and transitioning to renewable energy. HEINEKEN will collaborate with Arcadis, NIRAS and Royal HaskoningDHV on long-term decarbonisation programmes, building on the company’s previously announced collaboration with Siemens that identified significant energy savings at a typical HEINEKEN brewery.

HEINEKEN will work with the four announced partners to implement specialised technology and energy solutions at more than 40 HEINEKEN sites starting in 2024, which could contribute an estimated 30% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions at all 75 operating companies in the programme by 2030.

Magne Setnes, chief supply chain officer of HEINEKEN, said: “Our partners bring us expertise in their field, knowledge of the best available technology solutions and an outside-in view of the problems we are trying to solve – skills that are paramount to helping HEINEKEN achieve our ambition.

“Reaching Net Zero in Scope 1 & 2 by 2030 cannot be accomplished in isolation. Collaboration with experts like Arcadis, NIRAS and Royal Haskoning DHV is essential to reach this milestone at the speed and scale we need.”

The Integrated Net Zero Production programme was launched to help tackle the 88% of HEINEKEN’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions that come from beverage production, with the aim of establishing a cross-functional team of internal experts and external suppliers to drive progress. Together with Siemens, Arcadis, NIRAS and Royal HaskoningDHV and other strategic partners, HEINEKEN will redesign the energy systems of many of the brewer’s sites.
