Heineken Ireland – Brewing a Better Future
The coolers are part of Heineken Ireland’s ‘green drive’, outlined in its recent booklet Brewing a Better Future which reports on Heineken Ireland’s progress in achieving sustainability. As part of this drive, 100 per cent of all fridges acquired by Heineken Ireland in 2011 are based on ‘green’ technology.
Other recent achievements include a recycling rate of 100 per cent in all sales into the pub trade and a reduction in its waste to landfill in 2011 of 21 per cent compared to 2010 levels.
The company’s vehicle policy too has been updated so that all fleet vehicles are of diesel format and green parameters have become an integral part of the tendering process for all freight/distribution contracts.
