It forms the basis for the sustainability policy within the company’s global strategy. It focusses on four main areas: protecting water resources, reducing CO2 emissions, sourcing sustainably and advocating responsible consumption. These areas are then also influenced by Heinekens values and behaviours: “living their values, leading by example, and working together to make a difference.” | + | ‘Respect for People, the Environment and the Society in which we live and work’ is one of the Core Values of the Heineken company.
