The HEINEKEN Company

...In March 2021…[,]...23 foreigners…[were]...freed in an action of the Slave Labor Eradication Program in the State of São Paulo, linked to the Ministry of Economy. During the operation, which began in the early morning of March 3, the inspectors dismantled a system of work in conditions analogous to slavery that involved two of the largest brewers in the world, the multinationals Ambev and Grupo Heneiken (which in Brazil is called Cervejarias Kaiser Brasil), and a transport company subcontracted by both, Sider, which directly employed the workers. Now companies, which are preparing a schedule to pay employees moral damages, will have a few weeks to prepare their defense in the case. In total, each rescued worker will receive about 657,270 reais ($ 125,000)...The immigrants, 22 Venezuelans and one Haitian, lived for months (some more than a year) in the cab of trucks parked at Sider’s headquarters...They worked long hours without a day off. In addition, they did not have access to drinking water. Extra fees and discounts were also imposed on them...Brazilian law establishes that it would be up to Heineken and Ambev to supervise that the outsourced contractor (Sider) complies with labor obligations...[T]he Heineken Group stated that it learned of the case “through the Regional Labor Superintendency, and that it actively collaborated to guarantee all the fundamental rights of workers, as indicated by the auditors”...Ambev has stated that “as soon as we became aware of the complaint to Sider…[,]...we immediately made sure that the drivers were transferred to a hotel, where they were given shelter and received all the necessary support”...EL PAÍS contacted Sider by email and telephone, but received no response...

Kaiser was placed on the list for subcontracting Sider, a trucking company that delivered its beer in the state of Sao Paulo. Sider was charged in 2021 for submitting 23 of its drivers - 22 Venezuelans and one Haitian - to "slavery-like conditions."

Heineken liable for competition violations by Greek unit, Dutch court rules

Heineken said it disagreed with the reasoning of the court and would appeal the decision, ​which related to conduct by Athenian Brewery in the ​Greek beer market between 1998 and 2014.

Dutch brewer Heineken is planning to lay off up to up to 7% of its workforce, as it looks to boost efficiency through productivity savings from AI, following weak beer sales last year.

In this case, according to the TTB, Heineken provided some retailers with its BrewLock draft system, a technology patented by the beer company that can only be used with specially designed Heineken kegs. Hogue says the system forced retailers to purchase Heineken products.

Heineken NV said Wednesday it would stop the production, advertising and sale of the Heineken brand in Russia as a response to the escalation of the war in Ukraine.

Heineken sold all its operations to Russian manufacturer Arnest Group for €1, in an exit that is expected to cost the Dutch brewer €300 million.

THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS — Dutch brewer Heineken announced on Monday it was pulling out of Russia, becoming the latest Western firm to exit the country in the wake of Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

"You have to be thoughtful, you have to be balanced. And at the same time, you need to stand for your values and your principles," van den Brink said.
