The tech company Sensemakers has developed an unmanned sensor boat that can measure water quality and film the seabed.

The brewing giant Heineken aims to reach Net Zero in scope 1 and 2 before 2030. That is why the company has launched its global Net Zero Production programme. Here, the focus is on achieving the objective by reducing energy consumption in production and logistics, as well as on the transition to renewable energy. 

To achieve that ambition, Heineken has, among other things, partnered with to become part of the Net Zero Production program. Similar agreements have been made with Arcadis and Royal HaskoningDHV for long-term decarbonisation programmes, and this is the next step in Heineken's previously announced collaboration with Siemens, which identified significant energy savings in a typical Heinekens brewery.

- Our partners bring us expertise in their field, knowledge of the best available technology solutions and an external assessment of the challenges we are trying to solve – skills that are critical to helping Heineken achieve our ambition. Reaching Net Zero in scope 1 and 2 before 2030 cannot be achieved without cooperation with experts such as Arcadis, NIRAS and Royal HaskoningDHV.  It is essential to reach this milestone with the speed and scale we need, says Magne Setnes, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Heineken. 

Specifically, Niras will help Heineken implement a number of industry-proven Net Zero solutions at the company's production facilities in Africa, Europe, Asia and America. 

- We are delighted to support Heineken's in their i-NZP program and continue our long-standing partnership. Sustainability is essential for Niras and we have invested in building knowledge in this area for many years. By combining this with our deep insight and experience within the brewing industry, we look forward to supporting Heineken's global ambitions to reach net zero on scope 1 and 2, Thomas B. Olsen, who is Executive Vice President at Niras.
