Reaction to the development of the stock markets
16 April 2025The import tariffs announced by the United States caused declines on the stock markets. Many reports about this appeared in the news last week. We can imagine this raises questions.
On behalf of People Operations, we inform you about the changes that will be implemented in the telephone contact as of January 1, 2025 for questions about the savings account and withdrawals. Please note: the savings account is for employees at HEINEKEN and for pensioners who have retired from active employment at HEINEKEN. People Operations has found that there is little contact between 12:00 and 17:00 PM. That is why they will adjust the telephone opening hours to peak hours 09:00 AM to 12:00 PM as of January 1, 2025.
Until the end of 2024, the telephone contact will remain unchanged and the current external partner will answer and handle all questions and requests. Starting from January 1, 2025, HEINEKEN People Operations will take on the telephone contact in order to further improve the service in the future. This contact can still be conducted in your preferred language, either Dutch or English.
The telephone number remains unchanged, for all questions People Operations can be reached between 09:00 AM and 12:00 PM via telephone number: +31 (0)71 5458020.
Of course, you can also send your question or withdrawal requests via email: sparen@heineken.nl.

In 2024, we will have achieved a 12.6% return by investing the pension assets. With this result, we are in the top three of the more than 170 pension funds in the Netherlands that were surveyed by consultants from OverRendement and Bell.
We are expected to implement the new pension scheme from January 1, 2026. We are preparing for this, so that this transition is done carefully. For example, in 2024 we switched to a new pension administration system. In this administration system, we can administer our current and future pension scheme. In short: with this administration system we are ready for the future.
