Heineken has announced it will be axing up to 6000 jobs, as the beer market continues to struggle in "challenging market conditions".
The brewing giant, which produces Heineken, Amstel and Tiger beers, said the cuts would come over the next two years, across brewing and white-collar roles.
The cuts will equate to around 7% of its 87,000 workers worldwide.
The latest earnings report saw that Heineken had a tough 2025, with total beer volumes declining 2.4% over the course of the year, and with a lower profit growth now forecast for the year ahead.
"We remain prudent in our near-term expectations for beer market conditions," said Chief Executive Dolf van den Brink, who announced his resignation from his role with Heineken in January, and will step down in May.
