Heineken Holding N.V.'s reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Heineken Holding N.V. reported total carbon emissions of approximately 15,309,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes 993,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 200,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 14,116,000,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, indicating a lack of formalised strategies such as Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets or documented reduction initiatives. Heineken's emissions data reflects a significant reliance on Scope 3 emissions, which encompass indirect emissions from the entire value chain, highlighting the importance of addressing these areas for comprehensive climate action. The absence of specific reduction targets suggests that while Heineken is aware of its carbon footprint, it may need to enhance its climate strategy to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
