Environmental Sustainability
As a company that relies on natural resources, we act to use it responsibly. Brewing togetherness for generations to come means caring for water and nature, maximizing circularity, and minimizing carbon emissions
Our 2030 Water Goals
Responsible water management is a core priority for HEINEKEN Malaysia, reflecting the importance of water to operations, communities, and the environment. Our approach focuses on water use in
production, water in our communities where we operate, and water in our supply chain
Water is essential not only to our products, but to every aspect of our operations. At HEINEKEN Malaysia, we prioritise responsible water management across three areas: our production, the communities we operate in, and our supply chain.
In our brewery, we continuously improve water efficiency through reuse, recycling, and advanced treatment processes, ensuring all wastewater meets regulatory standards while protecting the environment.
Beyond our operations, we work to balance the water used in our products through nature-based solutions such as reforestation and watershed rehabilitation—helping to restore ecosystems and strengthen community resilience to climate change.
HEINEKEN Malaysia actively conserves natural resources by embedding circularity into our operations—reducing material use, redesigning products to be more resource-efficient, and transforming “waste” into valuable inputs for new materials and products.
We carefully segregate waste across all operations, including our brewery, with the goal of sending zero waste to landfill.
HEINEKEN Malaysia has achieved zero waste to landfill since 2017, responsibly recycling and upcycling by-products and production waste to create new value while minimising our environmental footprint. Through these efforts, we not only optimise resources within our operations but also contribute to a more sustainable, circular economy for the communities and ecosystems we interact with
Our Net Zero Glidepath
2040 – Net zero in Scope 1, 2, and Scope 3
Our strategy to reach net zero across our value chain is built on the four Rs: reduce, replace, remove, and report. This involves transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy across our operations and value chain. Heineken N.V. established short and long-term emissions reduction targets in accordance with the Science Based Targets initiative (“SBTi”), consistent with the 1.5°C global temperature limit set out in the Paris Agreement.
