Energy and CO2 indicators
Thermal energy consumption19 In absolute terms: consumption of thermal energy in MJ
In relative terms: consumption or thermal energy per unit produced in MJ/hl beer, cider, soft, drinks and water
Electricity consumption19 In absolute terms: consumption of electrical energy in kWh
In relative terms: consumption of electrical energy per unit produced in kWh/hl beer, cider, soft drinks and water
Specific total energy Equals thermal energy consumption plus 3.6 times the electricity consumption per unit produced
consumption19
of electrical energy coming Quantity of renewable electrical energy use (kWh) divided by total electrical energy use (kWh). Sources can be:
from renewable sources - Own renewable production all electricity generated from renewable resources on-site (wind, solar, biogas)
- Imported electricity under green certificates all electricity streams for which certified green electricity
is purchased
of thermal energy coming Quantity of renewable thermal energy use (MJ) divided by total thermal energy use (MJ). Sources are: biomass,
from renewable sources biogas, solar thermal and imported heat (with 100% renewable and 0 g CO2/MJ)
CO2 emissions in production This indicator includes CO2-eq emissions caused by:
(Scope 1 and 2, GHG Protocol) - direct emissions from combustion of fuels
- indirect emissions from imported heat and electricity
- emissions from refrigerant losses
CO2 emissions in distribution This indicator refers to CO2-eq emissions from outbound distribution of finished goods and returns of empty
(Scope 3, GHG protocol) packaging material. It includes domestic and export transport by road, rail and sea. Excluded is inbound
transport
CO2 emissions from fridges This indicator refers to CO2-eq emissions as a result of the electricity used by beverage fridges (branded and
Scope 3, GHG protocol) non-branded) delivered to HEINEKEN warehouses in the reporting year
Green fridges A green fridge has one or more of the following green features: use of hydrocarbon refrigerant, LED illumination,
an energy management system and energy-efficient fans
Waste destination per Destination of residual products from the brewing process: either recycled into feed, material loops, compost
and absolute value19 or energy, or - when not recycled - incinerated or sent to landfill
Sustainable sourcing indicators
Sustainable agriculture We follow the definition of the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI): The efficient production of safe, high
quality agricultural products, in a way that protects and improves the natural environment, the social and
economic conditions of farmers, their employees and local communities, and safeguards the health and welfare
of all farmed species
of our main agricultural raw Contracted sustainable volumes (tonnes)/Total contracted volumes (tonnes).
materials from sustainable Sustainable volume any agricultural product in scope of the Sustainable Agriculture programme, that has been:
sources 1. cultivated in accordance with an approved Code of Practice and
2. has been allocated to HEINEKEN by our supplier, in accordance with the mass balance approach
Volumes contracted in 2016 for delivery in 2017 are reported in the 2016 Annual Report
of agricultural raw materials Quantity (in tons) of agricultural 'extract' producing raw materials (plus hops) that are cultivated in the Africa
locally sourced in Africa and Middle East region and that are used in the production of beers, soft drinks, cider, wine and spirits at our
own production facilities in that region
Estimated number of smallholder Calculation based on the total quantity of agricultural raw materials purchased (tons), divided by the average
farms involved and total number farm size (hectares) and the average yield per crop produced (tons per hectare). This gives the estimated number
of beneficiaries of smallholder farms involved, which is multiplied by 7 (average family size in Africa) to give an estimation of the
total number of beneficiaries
- Average farm size (hectares) and average yield per hectare from project estimates
- Average family size in Sub Saharan Africa from World Bank estimates
Number of different local HEINEKEN operating companies sourcing any agricultural raw material within the AME Region. Each value chain
sourcing initiatives is counted individually
HEINEKEN Supplier Code The HEINEKEN Supplier Code, applicable to all our suppliers, provides clear guidelines for how we expect them
to act in the areas of Integrity and Business Conduct, Human Rights, and the Environment
19 This specific indicator will be disclosed by end of March 2017 in the sustainability section of the Company website.
