“We have a proud 150-year heritage, but the focus is very much on the future”
"There’s a very dynamic ‘will do’ culture at HEINEKEN, where the company values of quality, respect and enjoyment are genuinely lived out. Throughout the organisation there’s a focus on doing the right things right – for example in how we operate in the market place, work with the communities we serve, or how we support and encourage our people."
"We have a proud 150-year heritage, but the focus is very much on the future – building a sustainable business which continues to grow in a responsible way. It’s refreshing to work for a company that’s really clear about where it’s going and what’s expected of individuals and teams. There’s also plenty of scope for personal development, supported by structured learning, open recruitment and a very effective six monthly individual review process. In the main, people really enjoy working here – as demonstrated by so many of our people being active advocates for our business and what we stand for."
Andy Maddock, Marketing Controller - On Trade
“The investment in your development is a real plus”
"HEINEKEN is certainly an energetic and inspiring place, especially as we’re working with such fantastic brands. You’re given real ownership of your area of responsibility and encouraged to take the initiative to help the business grow in a sustainable and responsible way. We have a very open and fair culture, where it’s important to do the right thing for our people and our business. There’s also a real emphasis on understanding what we’re doing as a business and where we’re heading – led by a senior management that is both visible and accessible."
"The investment in your development is a real plus. Lots of companies say that people are important, but HEINEKEN really backs this up with wide-ranging development support and well-established talent and succession programmes. It’s definitely challenging and stretching at times – as it should be in such a hugely competitive sector. But the bottom line is we’re winning and we have a lot of fun along the way!"
Mick Doran, Head of Consumer & Market Intelligence

"Our employees are enabled to grow and develop, and to be the best they can be. We invest in them with development opportunities that meet their specific needs, and support their on-going careers through our talent, leadership and mentoring programmes. We have a transparent and open culture where we’re honest about what and how we’re doing as a business, and where we proactively engage with our people and seek their feedback. All of which is key to ensuring that we continue to attract and retain the very best people at HEINEKEN."
