VISSION & VALUES
Our vision is to be leading, proud and responsible brewer in Vietnam, guided by our values: RESPECT OF PEOPLE AND PLANET, ENJOYMENT, QUALITY AND PASSION FOR WINNING.

HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT
Established in 1991, HEINEKEN Vietnam Brewery Limited Company is a joint venture between Saigon Trading Group (SATRA) and HEINEKEN. HEINEKEN Vietnam is one of the most long-standing and successful joint venture businesses in Vietnam.

On a day-to-day basis, we seek to maximize the prospects of our people and offer them a safe, meaningful workplace for continual learning and growth. We embrace a culture that values diversity, recognizes talent and sharpens the right skillset to meet challenges of the future. We bring out the best values in our people and align them with the best of HEINEKEN’s values.

RESPECT OF PEOPLE AND PLANET
Sustainability Culture
At HEINEKEN Vietnam, we are committed to creating and sustaining the prosperity of our people and the planet. Consequently, this year “Green Office” is implemented with the purpose of reducing the amount of plastic used and creating a small garden at your working station to make employee feel relaxed and benefit to their health.

Moreover, we also combine sustainability culture in commercial event. For example, Tiger Bridge has inspired the community of its meaning: collecting bottle cap and reusing them to build local bridge. This year marked the second time that we conducted in Tien Giang Province.

“Health & Safety First” Culture
Nothing is more important than the Health and Safety of our people. Our commitment has been translated into an approach. “Put Safety Fist” has become our number one of company behavior.

In 2018, we foster “Safety Drive” Campaign for our sales force, which provides supportive transportation to pick-up for sale representatives whenever they have hangouts with outlet’s owners or distributors. Not only for sale representatives, but we also have policy for more than 3,000 Sale Promoters as we believe they should be treated equally as our members and are safe at work.

In respect of promoting health and wellbeing of our people, we continue to offer comprehensive suite of clinic activities such as Health and Safety Day, “Cool at Work” Program, regular health check-ups and other health promotion initiatives.
