Drop the C - reducing CO2 emissions (continued)
Lower emissions in our fridges
Heinekeri
Introduction Report of the Executive Board Report of the Supervisory Board
2020 commitment
Reduce the CO2 emissions of our
fridges by 50%10
In 2018, almost 100%* of our over 190,000 new
fridges had one or more of the following features:
use of hydrocarbon refrigerant, LED illumination,
an energy management system and energy
efficient fans.
We are ahead of our 2020 commitment; average
CO2 emissions from our fridges are now 50% less
than in 2010.
We continue to use technology to further improve
the energy efficiency of our fridges. For example,
variable speed compressors allow us to adjust the
energy use depending on the load of a fridge.
We now have over 10,000 connected fridges,
which enable us to understand how much energy
they are consuming, how many times doors are
being opened and other useful information related
to their performance.
We aim to use our cooling equipment more
efficiently and make sure we have the right
equipment in the right place, which will help
to improve both CO2 emissions and bring
commercial benefits.
Looking ahead
We aim to continue to decrease CO2 emissions
in cooling and will be setting new 2030 targets.
We are optimising specifications for our fridges,
ensuring that each asset is best-in-class for energy
consumption and length of life.
We will focus on innovation and collaboration with
our suppliers to collect and analyse information
about performance of our cooling equipment.
These insights will be used to develop a circular
business model with the focus on efficient use
of assets during their life cycle, and robust
refurbishment and recycling.
2018 milestone
100% green fridges purchased
Reduce the CO2 emissions of our
fridges by 47%
Our progress
On track
Our contribution
to the SDGs:
7.3
Double the improvement
of energy efficiency
At the time of publication this indicator was not assured, however, final
externally assured data will be published on the HEINEKEN website by the
end of March 2019.

Connected fridges in Mexico
In Mexico, we now have more than 10,000 connected
fridges and a dashboard which enables our teams to
track the activity of our fridges, including actions that
impact CO2 emissions.
