Locally sourced agricultural ingredients:
- Estimated quantity (in metric tons) of agricultural ‘extract’ producing raw materials that are cultivated in Africa and that are used in the manufacture of beers, soft drinks, cider,
wine and spirits at our own production facilities in Africa;
- Local means both domestic as well as from other countries on the African continent.
Scope:
- All consolidated entities.
- Entities without production (like sales only
entities, export entities) are not in scope,
with the exception of HEINEKEN USA.
- Consolidated entities with less than 50 FTE
are not included in the reporting scope.
- Derogations may be granted, for example
in case of external circumstances, such as
civil unrest and high volatility, which
hamper or delay the process.
- HEINEKEN South Africa is excluded due to
the integration within HEINEKEN
Beverages.

Key definitions
- Social impact initiative: An initiative which addresses a social issue within a community. An initiative qualifies when having a relevant focus area, a valid partner and a clear
agreement.
- Community: A group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common (like circumstances, lifestyle, belief or interest). Examples are a
neighbourhood, families living near the brewery, a municipality, smallholder farmers, an under-represented group in society.
- Relevant focus area: A social issue within a community which is linked to HEINEKEN’s business and Brew a Better World pillars, and which contributes to one (or more) of the UN
Global Goals. For example, creating access to water, reducing inequality, promoting inclusion and diversity, economic empowerment of underserved groups, etc.
- Valid partner: A third-party organisation which has a well known and credible interest to bring people together and help tackle the problems raised by the community. Examples
are an NGO, foundation (including HEINEKEN’s own foundations), charity, governmental body, public agency, social enterprise, co-operative, etc. In case there is no suitable
third party to address the issue the operating company may take direct action itself.
- A dear agreement: Operating company and the relevant third party have agreed objectives, actions and (financial) contribution. Evidence of this can include a Memorandum of
Understanding, a contract signed by both parties, an exchange of letters or mails. The agreement should be valid for the reporting year. Only one initiative is required per country.
