Management Discussion & Analysis

Creating Good Times, Celebrating the Joy of True Togetherness

In 2023, we celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Heineken® brand, the world’s no. 1 international premium beer. Forget the candles, this was about honouring how our consumers celebrate Good Times. Freddy Heineken once said, “I don’t sell beer. I sell ‘gezelligheid’ or ‘Good Times’,” and that’s what Heineken® is still all about.
