World Water Day 2021

If 2020 taught us one thing, it’s to value what we have and safeguard it which also corresponds to the World Water Day 2021 theme ‘Valuing Water’; how it’s valued by different people in different contexts so we can safeguard the precious resources for everyone.

For HEINEKEN, water means security, productivity and sustainability, and without it, we wouldn’t be brewing our great beers & ciders worldwide; making it one of the fundamental sources for our business. This is why we embrace an immense responsibility in ensuring water stewardship is a priority in everything we do and why we have been assessing water-related risks since 2010 and focus our immediate efforts on the 30 breweries in water-stressed areas.

This year we want to raise awareness on the fact that currently there are still 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water and the actions we have taken as a company, in our journey of #EveryDrop 2030 ambitions around the topics of water stewardship, circularity and efficiency.
