Environmental Sustainability
We are committed to reaching Net Zero, maximising circularity and to continue working towards healthy watersheds
HEINEKEN Malaysia is playing its part in achieving the global agenda of reducing GHG emissions by 43% by 2030 as urged by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to meet the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5⁰C.
We have clear ambitions and targets across the above three areas, including a target to reach Net Zero in Scope 1 & 2 by 2030 and across the value chain by 2040.
We have developed our roadmap to net zero carbon as the foundation of our journey in decarbonisation across our production and value chain.
Water is an essential resource in our operations; we are thus committed to minimising our water footprint throughout our value chain to ensure water security. As a responsible brewer, we continue to play our part in safeguarding this shared precious resource by taking the lead in our water conservation efforts.
We embarked on various water optimisation efforts through the three key principles of our water triangle: Water Balancing, Water Circularity and Water Efficiency.
Our 2030 water strategy involves three ambition areas which include reducing water consumption, maximising water circularity and treating wastewater as well as balancing water use through watershed protection programmes. Our approach to managing water goes beyond internal management, where we not only practise responsible water usage and wastewater management, but also commit to long-term water security for the community.

HEINEKEN Malaysia is committed to conserving our natural resources and reducing the consumption of raw materials by adopting waste circularity within our operations where we reduce material use, redesign materials and products to be less resource intensive, and recapture “waste” as a resource to manufacture new materials and products.
We segregate our waste and aim for zero waste sent to landfill from our operations including our brewery by 2025. HEINEKEN Malaysia has achieved zero waste to landfill since 2017, responsibly recycling and upcycling our by-products and production waste.
