Heineken's Operations in Congo: Heineken has lost operational control and withdrawn staff from its facilities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo due to escalating conflict, particularly in the cities of Bukavu and Goma, which are now under rebel control.
Impact on Business: The company continues to operate in other unaffected areas of Congo, but the conflict has significantly impacted its operations, with nearly 14% of total revenues coming from the region, and previous operations in the affected cities accounting for about a third of its business in the country.
