For the second year in a row, the family business has won the title of ‘Sustainable Brewery of the Year’.

On our way to net zero - targets approved by SBTi
In 2022, we announced our ambition to achieve net zero operations by 2050. The targets set towards this objective have now been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). It is a vital step in the field of sustainability. The approval brings our ambitious carbon reduction targets in line with the international SBTi guidelines to limit global warming to 1.5°C degrees, as agreed in the Paris Climate Agreement.
Royal Swinkels reports healthy growth and is investing in a sustainable future
Despite challenging market conditions in 2023, Royal Swinkels achieved a solid increase in revenue. Geopolitical tensions, war in sales markets, inflation, the energy crisis, and climate change have shaped a turbulent world and a volatile market. Nevertheless, the family business continued to drive forward, and positive results were achieved. Investments in sustainable growth ensured that the circularity score rose to 61%, 2 percentage points more than in 2022.
