Our purpose
Seeing the world as our family
Our vision
Our goal as an independent, pioneering family of brewers and maltsters is to continually work on smart and sustainable ways to create lasting value. For our consumers, our employees, our relations, our shareholders and the world around us. In doing so, we pass on an even better family business to the next generations.
Our circularity ambition
As a family business, it is our job to ensure that countless future generations will still be able to enjoy everything we build and brew. Our goal is therefore to pass on our company to the next generation as circularly as possible. Circular entrepreneurship means that we will not let raw materials, energy and other materials to be lost. We will make sure that they retain their value. With our Swinkels Circularity Index we measure how circular we are as an organization.
In 2025 we wish to achieve 75% circular operations.
