Key definitions
- Thermal energy from renewable sources: quantity of thermal energy coming from: biomass, biogas, solar thermal and imported heat (with 100% renewable and 0 g CO2/MJ)
- Electrical energy coming from renewable sources includes:
- Own renewable energy production all electricity generated from renewable resources on-site (hydro, solar, biogas);
- Imported electricity under green certificates via PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements). Such green certificates are dependent on information provided by the energy supplier.
Key definitions
- Sustainable volume: measured in accordance with the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI): The efficient production of safe, high quality agricultural products, in a way that
protects and improves the natural environment, social and economic conditions of farmers, their employees and local communities, and safeguards the health and welfare of
all farmed species.
- The compliance with SAI is monitored via a third party. On an annual basis, the third party performs random on-site visits for supplier verification on a number of suppliers and
their farmers.
- SAI: A food industry organisation aimed at supporting the development of sustainable agriculture, involving stakeholders of the food chain. For more details see
www.saiplatform.org.
- Sustainable ingredient: An agricultural material that was produced in a manner which produces safe, high quality agricultural products, protects and improves the natural
environment and the social and economic conditions of farmers and their communities.
- Mass balance approach: HEINEKEN applies the Mass Balance approach for the calculation of sustainable volumes in the supply chain. This entails that the inputs into a process
must be equal to the outputs, plus any losses or accumulation in the process.
Scope:
- All production sites of consolidated entities
with more than 20 khl volume produced on
an annual basis.

Key performance indicator
Measurement/units
- of contracted sustainable volumes (in metric tonnes) for the next year compared to total contracted volumes (in metric tonnes) for the next year.
- For the measurement of the KPI, we use contracted volumes for the next year and not the actual volumes purchased.
Key performance indicator
Measurement/units
- of renewable energy consumption compared to the total amount of energy consumption.
Scope:
- The reported volume includes both the
volume purchased for our consolidated
entities, as well as volume purchased
centrally on behalf of some joint ventures
and associates.
- Smaller African farmers 150ha) are
excluded from the reporting scope.
