Drop the C - reducing CO2 emissions
Lower emissions
in our fridges
O O Qs
Report of the Executive Board
Report of the Supervisory Board
2020 commitment
100% of purchased fridges are green.
Reduce the CO2 emissions of our fridges by 50%*
Our progress
On track
Our contribution to the SDGs:
7.3 Double the improvement of energy efficiency
Looking ahead
Our 2030 targets will drive action and collaboration
across the cooling value chain, including:
- Continuous improvement of procurement
practices in collaboration with suppliers to ensure
best-in-class specifications for our coolers.
- Engagement with the sales force and customers
to provide the right asset in the right outlet.
We will challenge the need for new fridges and
increase the focus on providing the right cooling
capacity to customers, while making the most
of our installed base.
- Ground-breaking innovation and end-of-life
management to achieve a circular approach
to the reuse, recycling and refurbishment of
our coolers.
Once again, almost 100% of over 155,000** fridges
we purchased in 2019 had one or more of the
following features:
- use of hydrocarbon refrigerant;
- LED illumination;
- an energy management system; and/or
- energy efficient fans.
We are ahead of our 2020 commitment; average CO2
emissions from our fridges are now over 50%** less
than in 2010.

Baseline 2010.
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 2020.

Reusing fridge parts in Mexico
Our pilot with one of our fridge manufacturers in

the market and reuse parts for the production of
new fridges.
