Heineken in Africa: Welcome to an exciting seminar on human rights, sustainable development and alcohol

Published 2022-09-13

In the book "Heineken in Africa", author and investigative journalist Olivier van Beemen documents corruption, unethical marketing and abuse of human rights by the European beer giant. Through the purchase of local breweries and large-scale lobbying, the company has built close relationships with both rulers and warlords. The alcohol industry's products and methods negatively affect 14 of the 17 sustainability goals. More must be done – both in terms of preventive measures and policy development. What can you and your organization do?
