🍺♻️ Climate Fresk at HEINEKEN Vietnam: First Workshop After Maternity Leave!

+ Time: July 05, 2024 + Venue: Heineken Brewery Vung Tau + Language: Vietnamese + Facilitator: Trang Nguyen + Nuong Nguyen

Returning from my maternity leave, I couldn’t have asked for a better first workshop than conducting a Climate Fresk session at HEINEKEN Vietnam – a company that has been leading the way in sustainability for years. 🌱✨

Recognized by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) as one of the top three most sustainable companies in the manufacturing sector for seven consecutive years, HEINEKEN Vietnam has made remarkable strides in reducing its environmental impact.

🚀 Key achievements include:

✅ 100% thermal energy from biomass, significantly cutting CO₂ emissions

✅ Zero waste to landfill, demonstrating true circularity

✅ On track to be fully water balanced by 2025, returning as much water to the environment as they use

At their Vung Tau Brewery – a green brewery by design, Nuong Nguyen and I led an engaging session with representatives from HEINEKEN factories and offices across Vietnam. It was truly inspiring to see leaders from different locations come together, exchange insights, and collaborate on sustainability solutions. 🌎

💡 Brainstormed ideas for Path to Zero Impact, focusing on:

1️⃣ Net Zero

2️⃣ Maximizing Circularity

3️⃣ Healthy Watersheds

✨ 100% of participants felt the workshop deepened their understanding of climate issues and inspired them to take action—not just within HEINEKEN but in their personal lives as well!

🌳 As HEINEKEN Vietnam’s Managing Director said, “Sustainability for us is about collective actions.” This workshop was a testament to that philosophy—showing how climate awareness leads to real, meaningful change.

A big thank you to HEINEKEN Vietnam for their dedication to sustainability and for creating a workplace where climate education thrives! Looking forward to seeing the Path to Zero Impact in action. 🙌♻️
