HEINEKEN uses trains to reduce CO2 emissions in Brazil
- 10 years ago
Brazil’s rapidly growing economy poses some significant challenges to logistics and distribution operations that are often under strain due to increasing demand. In 2013, HEINEKEN Brasil came up with a green solution to this issue.
Logistics operations in Brazil in general are challenging, with very long distances to travel and an under-developed road network. In terms of distribution, we must also compete with other companies and industries for access to delivery trucks. During peak periods, such as the sugar cane season, there is often a shortage of trucks.
For HEINEKEN Brasil, a solution to these problems needed to be addressed for the long-term. Naturally, we also had to look for options that fitted with our Brewing a Better Future strategy to reduce CO2 emissions.
