Objectives
8
Target reward to meet long term employee needs in emerging markets, where there is presently no reliable provision in old age by state or employer
Establish HEINEKEN as employer of choice in AME: Improve attraction and retention Reinforce commitment and loyalty
Demonstrate that HEINEKEN is a responsible employer
Status - Analysis
9
Some OpCos e.g. Nigerian Breweries and Brarudi (Burundi)
already have supplemental plans First wave of 8 OpCos selected: Egypt, Tunisia, Kenya,
Tanzania, Uganda, DRC, Ethiopia, Sierra Leone
Collaborated to review sources of income in old age: Social Security Prevalence and type of supplemental plans Secure providers
Status - Findings
Findings - range of situations Severe “gap” in reward package - little/no State and
employer benefits leading to extreme poverty in old age
Some State provision and/or some supplemental provision
10
Status - Outcomes
11
The way forward: Developed a practical model to be a simple and standard benchmark
Flexible enough to accommodate local preferences and support
OpCo strategy; and aligned with global principles
Prepared draft “Roadmap” to implementation
Global, regional and local alignment
Content of the model
12
4 key building blocks Core of the model ♦Defined Contribution (no employer guarantees) ♦ Employee education and communication
Some requirements are mandatory; others for consideration
Model – Funding Contributions
14
♦Defined Contribution = known and stable employer cash cost
♦ % depends on market practice (if any) and extent of Social Security
provisions
♦minimum employer contribution is 6%
Model - Governance
15
Committee (e.g. Trustee Board) to make decisions about plan
management Employee representation Responsiblities
Model - Investments
16
♦ Secure external investment entity preferred
♦ If not available, consider funded vehicle offshore
♦Or self-investment (commercial loan back to company)
Case Study – HEINEKEN East Africa: Kenya
17
New OpCo Low Social Security Strong peer group market practice for
supplemental plans

Case study - Haïti
19
Acquired in 2010 1,200 employees, mainly production Average age relatively high; turnover very low Social Security: mandatory employer contributions, but unreliable/
non-existent pay out Few multinationals No secure banks
Brana, Haïti – Challenge #1
20
Brana’s solution HR and Finance collaborate to develop a business case including
Social Security and sources of income in old age Long term HR strategy Social responsibility Cost/benefit analysis
Do we really need a retirement savings plan?
Brana, Haïti – Challenge #2
21
Brana’s solution Careful consideration of contribution % and salary Cap on contributions No mandatory employee contributions for low paid employees …considered phasing in contributions and implementation
How much is the plan going to cost?
Brana, Haïti – Challenge #3
22
Provider/asset manager security High inflation Brana’s solution 50% set aside in a secure investment vehicle in USD 50% loaned back to Brana (with a fair investment return)
How are we going to invest the money?
Brana, Haïti – Challenge #4
23
Brana’s solution Invested time in educating employees about the benefits of saving money for old age
Trained the HR team Group presentations Simple written materials
How are we going to convince employees of the value of the plan?
Brana, Haïti - Outcomes
