Heineken to cut 400 jobs in Amsterdam HQ restructuring

Heineken is restructuring its global headquarters in Amsterdam, a move that will affect about 400 positions.

The Dutch brewer said the overhaul is part of its new five-year strategy, EverGreen 2030.

“The changes at the global head office are part of a series of initiatives designed to create a more agile, simplified, and connected organisation, ready to focus on opportunities for growth and innovation,” the Affligem producer said in a statement today on Tuesday.

Heineken said about 400 jobs are expected to be affected, in addition to 200 head office roles in its Digital and Technology department that have been under transformation since October last year.

As part of its growth plan, the Amstel brewer said it will expand its Heineken Business Services unit by creating global capability centres built around new technologies.

From next year, Heineken’s global headquarters will become a more focused strategic centre, with some positions relocated to the business services unit and others made redundant.

Just Drinks has requested further details from Heineken regarding its business services network.

The company first announced the expansion of Heineken Business Services in May, unveiling a new centre in Hyderabad, India.

At the time, Heineken said the facility would join its existing global network of connected hubs, providing essential services and capabilities to its operating companies.
