Heineken NV pledged to add more female leaders and talent from
diverse racial backgrounds to its business, a move that comes amid
growing pressure on companies to tackle the gender, ethnic and
racial imbalance in the workforce and upper echelons.
The world's second-largest brewer said Thursday that it aims to
increase the number of women in senior management to 30% over the
next four years and 40% by 2030. The company had said in its latest
diversity and inclusion report that 23% of its senior management is
comprised of women.
Heineken also said it aims to recruit and retain more talent
from diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds over the next two years.
It said it wants at least 65% of its country leadership teams in
each region to be comprised of regional nationals and that it will
train all its managers in inclusive leadership practices.
