Heineken Malaysia Bhd has bagged the Green Leadership Award at the Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards (AREA) 2021, underlining its water stewardship efforts that culminated in the brewer balancing more than 100% of the water used in its products in 2020. Heineken Malaysia managing director Roland Bala said the brewer has an ambitious target to balance 1.5 litres for every one litre of water used in making its products. He said that in 2020, through initiatives like river and peatland conservation, rainwater harvesting, reforestation, and other community initiatives, the company achieved 267% versus its water balancing target, reaching this milestone 10 years ahead of its 2030 commitment.

IGB Bhd shareholders were entitled to subscribe to two ROFS units at RM1 each for every five shares held. In addition, shareholders who subscribed to the ROFS were entitled to distribution in specie (DIS) on the basis of three DIS units for every two ROFS units subscribed.
