This lack of defined reduction strategies suggests that while Heineken is actively monitoring its carbon footprint, it may need to establish clearer goals to align with industry standards for climate action. Overall, Heineken Holding N.V. is positioned within a global context where beverage companies are increasingly held accountable for their environmental impact, making it essential for them to develop and communicate robust climate commitments moving forward.
