Heineken to cut up to 6000 jobs as demand for beer declines

The Netherlands | Heineken said it will cut up to 6000 jobs from its global workforce over the next two years to save up to EUR 500 million annually. The job cuts amount to almost 7 percent of the 87,000-strong, global workforce, the brewer said on 11 February. It also set lower expectations for 2026 profit growth than last year, as the Dutch brewer and its peers face weakening demand. The company is searching for a new CEO following the resignation of Dolf van den Brink in January.
