Heineken to Cut Up to 6,000 Jobs Amidst Challenging Market Conditions

Heineken announced it will cut between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs worldwide to address challenging market conditions. The brewery will accelerate productivity and seek significant cost savings. The decision comes after a 2.4% decline in total beer volume in 2023, particularly in Europe and America. Heineken's CEO, Dolf van den Brink, announced his departure from the position, while the company expects annual operating profit between 2 and 6% for 2024. Heineken employs approximately 87,000 people globally.
