Dutch brewing giant Heineken is scrapping 8,000 jobs worldwide in an effort to cut costs, and some 300 are scheduled to go in the Netherlands, the company confirmed on Wednesday.
Heineken has a global workforce of 85,000 and has been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic, as bars closed and social gatherings were discouraged. The company said on Wednesday it had sold 8% less beer last year, net revenue was down 12% and that net profit was virtually halved to €1.2bn.
The job losses will save some €350m a year, the company said. In addition, it hopes to generate a further €2bn in savings by increased efficiency.
