Commodity price risk
Commodity price risk is the risk that changes in commodity prices will affect HEINEKEN's income. The objective of commodity price risk management
is to manage and control commodity risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return on risk. The main commodity exposure
relates to the purchase of cans, glass bottles, malt and utilities. Commodity price risk is in principle addressed by negotiating fixed prices in supplier
contracts with various contract durations. So far. commodity hedging with financial counterparties by HEINEKEN has been limited to aluminium
hedging and to a limited extent gas and grains hedging, which are done in accordance with risk policies. HEINEKEN does not enter into commodity
contracts other than to meet HEIN EKEN's expected usage and sale reguirements. As at 31 December 2015, the market value of commodity swaps
was EUR70 million negative (2014: EUR10 million negative).
