Heineken Restructuring Global Headquarters, Cutting 400 Jobs
Heineken announced plans to cut 400 jobs at its global headquarters in Amsterdam as part of a restructuring to adapt to the evolving beer market. The changes, set to begin in 2026, will involve redesigning certain departments, with some employees being relocated to the company’s business services unit while others will face job losses. This move is aimed at reducing complexity and enhancing decision-making processes.
Driving Growth Through Digital Transformation
Heineken’s transformation of its headquarters is aligned with its five-year strategy, Evergreen 2030, which focuses on accelerating growth and strengthening digital capabilities. Central to this strategy is the emphasis on technology and agility, with the expansion of Heineken Business Services and the implementation of a comprehensive digital backbone program across multiple markets. This restructuring follows the elimination of 200 jobs in the digital and technology department last year.
Despite facing challenges in the beer market due to changing consumer preferences, Heineken remains optimistic about its future. In the first half of 2025, the company reported a revenue of 16.9 billion euros, marking a slight decrease from the previous year. While overall beer volumes declined, the Heineken brand itself experienced growth.
Heineken’s full five-year strategy will be unveiled at the upcoming Capital Markets Event in Spain, where the company will outline its plans for sustained growth and innovation.
