About HEINEKEN Beverages

HEINEKEN Beverages was formed in 2023 following the merger of HEINEKEN South Africa, Distell and Namibia Breweries Limited. Heineken produces an impressive portfolio of brands, which includes its global flagship brand Heineken® as well as many other worldclass brands, such as Savanna, Windhoek Lager and Nederburg. The company strives to be an employer of choice, firmly rooted in Southern Africa, directly employing just under 5000 people. As a company that actively promotes responsible consumption, Heineken is equally concerned about the issues of alcohol abuse in South Africa. This is why Heineken has committed itself to promoting responsible consumption through targeted campaigns and educational information, through the Association for Alcohol Responsibility and Awareness (AWARE).
