HEINEKEN Beverages

We are so excited to announce the beginning of our newest urban greening project: Living Landscapes! 🪴 Building on the success of our completed HEINEKEN Beverages® Green Zone gardens in Cape Town and Johannesburg, the Living Landscapes project aims to further enhance these sites by expanding the green spaces. Over the next few years, we will focus on completing the landscaping of the entire property, creating lush, sustainable environments that contribute to urban greening and community well-being. The name "Living Landscapes" encapsulates the dual purpose of the spaces that will be created through this project. These spaces are "living" in the sense that they are vibrant ecosystems teeming with plants and animals, contributing to urban biodiversity and ecological health. Simultaneously, they are spaces for "living in," designed to support a wide range of human activities such as recreation, education, relaxation, spiritual practices, and sports. This dual focus ensures that the green spaces are not only environmentally beneficial but also socially and culturally enriching. The Living Landscapes project is not just about planting trees and creating gardens; it is about fostering a culture of environmental stewardship and sustainability. Through ongoing stakeholder engagement, design collaboration, and hands-on installation activities, the project aims to educate participants about environmental issues and empower them to become lifelong environmental stewards. By integrating educational programmes and workshops into the project, Greenpop ensures that participants leave with a deeper understanding of environmental issues and practical skills for sustainable living. Keen to contribute and bring your team planting? We are now taking bookings for Garden Days as part of our Living Landscapes project!

The HEINEKEN Beverages team at our Wadeville plant had the pleasure of hosting enthusiastic in-service trainees from our Sedibeng Brewery. Their visit brought fresh perspectives, sparking valuable discussions, and reminding us of the power of mentorship and knowledge sharing. The trainees' eagerness to learn highlighted the energy and innovation new talent brings, reinforcing that we’re not just building a workforce, but nurturing future leaders. #TheJoyofTrueTogetherness #WeAreHEINEKEN  

Over the past few weeks, our leadership team has been visiting sites across the country to connect with what drives us most – our teams. At Nederburg, we experienced the power of collaboration, shared passion, and true togetherness. These moments remind us that our strength lies in working together, inspiring our collective success. #WeAreHEINEKEN #JoyofTrueTogetherness

It was truly uplifting to be back in South Africa, surrounded by the positive energy of the HEINEKEN Beverages team.   During our visit to Tembisa, just outside Johannesburg, we connected with both on-trade and off-trade customers, including mom-and-pop stores, ultra-stores, and some very welcoming taverns.   Being in the market, you can truly feel the strength of our multicategory portfolio which includes power brands like Savanna, Bernini, Heineken, Windhoek and Amstel alongside wines and spirits.   It's inspiring to see our relationships with customers evolving into true partnerships.   We also shared the vibrant South African spirit with all our colleagues during the Global Town Hall. A big thank you to Millicent Maroga for hosting this event.   A special shoutout to Jordi Borrut and the entire team for the warm welcome and for your passion in building something extraordinary, one year on from the merger of Distell, Namibia Breweries Limited, and HEINEKEN South Africa. #weareheineken #heineken

We recently celebrated our first #WorldsTogether event as HEINEKEN Beverages South Africa. #WorldsTogether aims to bring people together through the power of conversation and connection. Our theme was inclusivity, particularly opening up honest dialogue and breaking down preconceptions about people with special needs. We are proud to have connected with amazing organisations that advocate for inclusivity. Let’s bring #WorldsTogether and be the ripple of change.

At HEINEKEN Beverages, our strength lies in the diversity of our people. 🇿🇦 This #HeritageDay, we’re celebrating the unique cultures and traditions that unite us. Watch as some of our colleagues come together to wish South Africans a Happy Heritage Day!' 🇿🇦  #WeAreHEINEKEN

HEINEKEN Beverages was the diamond sponsor at this year’s Sustainability Summit Africa, recently held in Johannesburg. The event, themed “From Vision to Action – Driving Sustainable Change Together”, brought together peers from local and international businesses, policymakers, and sustainability experts. The sentiment was vividly expressed through numerous presentations and panel discussions. Fostering sustainability within our organisations, local communities, and ultimately across the planet truly requires a collaborative effort. For our organisation in particular, it aligns directly with our purpose of crafting the Joy of True Togetherness to inspire a better world. #WeAreHEINEKEN

Today, we are at our HEINEKEN #WorldsTogether event. It’s our chance to connect people and raise awareness of the challenges faced by those who feel excluded from society. We brew the joy of true togetherness to inspire a better world. #JoyOfTrueTogetherness #WeAreHEINEKEN
