Heineken to Cut 5,000 to 6,000 Jobs Over Two Years
- Heineken said it would reduce 5,000 to 6,000 roles over the next two years to unlock productivity savings under its EverGreen 2030 strategy[1]
- That is almost 7% of a global workforce of 87,000, and around 3,000 roles move into business services where digitisation and AI drive savings[2][3]
- The cuts came with 2025 results: total volume down 1.2% (consolidated volume down 2.1%), net revenue up 1.6% and operating profit up 4.4%, with gross savings above EUR 500 million[1]
- Heineken guided to 2026 operating profit growth of 2% to 6%, below the 4% to 8% it had guided for 2025[1][3]
- The announcement came a month after CEO Dolf van den Brink said he would step down on 31 May 2026[2]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
