Our contribution to the SDGs:
Introduction Report of the Executive Board Report of the Supervisory Board
Safer driving using Telematics
We use Telematics in all Company-owned, rented or
leased vehicles to reduce driving-related accidents.
Telematics provide valuable insights into driving
behaviours, such as speeding and harsh breaking,
enhancing coaching and training of our drivers
which contributes to the increase of road safety.
At HEINEKEN Ireland, telematics data have delivered
clear improvements; unsafe driving events were
reduced by 53% and speeding events by 35% during
the first eight months of the programme. The success
is down to close co-operation between functions,
driven by the safety manager, draught beer service
representative, sales representative and draught policy
co-ordinator (pictured).

Full compliance with Life Saving Rules
Our progress
More to do
3.6 Reduce deaths and injuries from road
traffic accidents
8.8 Protect labour rights and promote safe
and secure working environments
The HEINEKEN Life Saving Rules are global rules
and related principles and programmes dedicated
to improving process safety across our highest
safety risks. The Life Saving Rules are a key tool
for preventing serious and fatal accidents and
all operating companies are required to comply
with them.
We increased investment to accelerate
implementation of the Rules globally and delivery
is now nearing completion. It has established many
basic conditions to support people to work in a
safer way.
At the end of 2019, the compliance level was:
- 92% in breweries;
- 95% in projects, commerce, distribution
and logistics
Process Safety Management
The Process Safety Management programme is
designed to address risks related to pressurised
equipment like boilers, ammonia cooling plants, CO2
plants and air compressors. This is a complex area
which can have significant implications for safety
and business continuity (beer cannot be produced
without steam or cooling).
While leakages and other incidents do not occur
frequently, they can have potentially severe
consequences when they do.
We have taken important steps to raise awareness
of the risks and ensure safe actions. These include
setting performance targets, developing a
robust monitoring process and training over 200
colleagues in utilities, maintenance and safety
functions to be able to assess barriers in pressurised
equipment. An external specialised party (DNV-GL)
assessed the status of Process Safety Management
across the majority of production units and resulting
development actions were performed by the
Centres of Excellence.
Looking ahead
In 2020, we will implement an updated Global
Safety Strategy with a strong focus on risk reduction
in the priority areas of road safety, contractor safety
and safety leadership.
