What You Need to Know
Community Answers
Character and altruistic pursuits are often considered valued qualities. Many hiring managers may even choose one qualified candidate over another simply due to their shared values, and being guided by "doing the right thing". If you've had experience giving back to the community in some form or other, share it. If you donate or contribute to organizations, volunteer that. If you have a desire to volunteer, but carefully manage your time and cannot fit that in at this stage in your life, share that as well. What's important is to disclose your awareness of Heineken's ESG goals and accomplishments, and what factor that played in your pursuing this opportunity.

"I have not formally volunteered in these most recent years, but a few years ago I volunteered every Wednesday evening at our local animal shelter. I helped with grooming the animals, feeding them, and walking them. It was an enjoyable experience and rewarding at the same time. But if money were no object, I would open up a nonprofit community center in my neighborhood that offered inexpensive childcare, cooking classes, and other life skills programs. I am passionate about volunteering and see a strong need in those particular areas. If I had unlimited funds, I might also create a non-profit that would follow my creative passion for music and start a studio where people could take music lessons and rent equipment that they may not be able to afford otherwise to purchase."
Heineken advertises that they invest in community initiatives that support social and economic well-being through the jobs they create, the businesses they support, and the locations where they source their materials. "With operations that span the globe, we have an opportunity, and a responsibility, to use our business as a positive force for change. We are committed to making a positive contribution to the communities where we source, live, work, and sell our products."
