06 May 2024 --- Heineken UK is investing £39 million (US$49.06 million) in upgrading and reopening pubs in its Star Pubs’ estate this year. The company will use the cash injection to improve 612 pubs, creating around 1,075 new jobs and also reopen 62 long-term closed locals.The move is also expected to bolster Heineken UK’s ambition to be net zero across its entire value chain by 2040, by installing energy efficiency measures, such as heating controls, insulation and low-energy lighting, that will typically cost £12,500 (US$15,725.88) per pub and cut energy use by 15%.
