Heineken plans to cut 5,000 to 6,000 roles over two years, up to about 7% of its workforce, as beer volumes decline. Its outgoing CEO said AI and digitization are part of the reason.

Each layoff is an announcement a company made or confirmed, with at least one source. Employee totals add the numbers as stated: “about”, “at least” and “up to” figures count as given, and layoffs without a number count toward companies and layoffs only. Headquarters filters use where a company is based, not where the cuts happen.
