A better insight into economic impact of (foreign) companies
may benefit many different parties in different ways

Companies:
   Enables management to tune decisions more towards enhancing the local
   economic impact and thereby achieving a better fit in society

Governments:
    Understand the wider impact that a company has on development and tune
    policies and legislation towards enhancing it’s economic impact

Non-Governmental Organizations:
    Maximize development impact in cooperation with companies

A model has been developed that enables analysis of the
economic impact of companies in (emerging) markets
The model enables companies to develop an informed opinion about their economic and
societal impacts
     • Look at the company and its societal environment through a different set of glasses

The model enables management to analyse different scenarios regarding their local
economic impact
    • Develop a broader view when taking management decisions

The model has proven useful and reliable in a real life situation
    • The model has been tested for Sierra Leone Brewery Limited (SLBL) in which
      Heineken has a controlling stake

The model focuses on the economic impact and does not regard environmental
degradation etc
    • Such topics can be added but are too specific to include in a general model

Doing business in Africa is hard work. The World Bank study measures things
 like red tape and taxes. […] But of the 35 least business-friendly countries, 27
are in sub-Saharan Africa. Some are impossibly hard: if firms paid all taxes due
     in Sierra Leone, they would spend almost three times their total profits;

Sierra Leone Brewery is of major direct importance to Sierra
Leonean economy

Some indicators of the importance of SLBL for the Sierra Leonean economy
(without considering the informal economy):

  • SLBL product consumption as % of household final consumption:                                        2.0%

  • SLBL value added as % of GDP:                                                                        0.5%

  • Workforce as % of estimated people with formal jobs:                                                 0.3%

  • Total tax payments as % of Sierra Leone tax revenues:                                                3.7%

Because of the labour-intensive nature of beer distribution
SLBL indirectly supports a large number of jobs

Direct jobs provided (for employees and casual workers):                                           175

Jobs provided by distributors:                                                                     180

Jobs provided by retailers that can be attributed to SLBL:                                       ~5.400

Jobs provided by suppliers attributable to SLBL:                                                 ~1.200

Total employments due to presence of SLBL:                                                       ~6.900

                  Each job at Sierra Leone Brewery generates
                  approximately 40 jobs in indirect employment
                          • 32 in distribution and retail
                          • 8 in Sorghum agriculture

SLBL increases the “local content” of its beers by
substituting imported Barley with locally grown Sorghum

            Barley                                                                  Sorghum

Sierra Leone is one of the countries where Heineken has
programs to increase the “local content” of its beer
Barley is an essential ingredient of beer but it does not grow in the tropics

However, Barley can be (partly) substituted by other cereals like Sorghum which is grown
locally
      • Reduce cost for SLBL and reduce dependence on foreign currency
      • Increase local development impact
      • Increase local embedding of company

Heineken currently runs substitution projects in several countries in Africa among others in
Sierra Leone
     • Co-operation with NGOs and farmers to efficiently grow Sorghum
     • Training of farmers who have never been involved in commercial farming
     • Involvement of women in farming
     • Construction of facilities (drying floors, warehouse, schools etc)
     • Stimulation of co-operatives and credit groups

The model enables analysis of the economic impact of these import substitution projects

                       © 2006 Triple Value Strategy Consulting and InReturn Consultancy all rights reserved   28
The economic effect of substituting Sorghum is positive for
the local economy

In 2005, Heineken spent USD 210.000 on the substitution project
     • Approximately 3.000 farmers participate

The indirect impact of keeping this money in the Sierra Leonean economy was
approximately USD 790.000 which brings the impact on Sierra Leonean
production close to USD 1.000.000

This increase of production generates USD 630.000 in household income

                   © 2006 Triple Value Strategy Consulting and InReturn Consultancy all rights reserved   29
Buying Sorghum locally benefits the poor relatively the most

A scenario has been constructed to compare SLBL
economic impact to its non-producing importing competitors
SLBL is the only local beer producer in Sierra Leone

The competitors only export beer to Sierra Leone that are subsequently distributed by
different channels

It would be useful to know how SLBL’s economic impact compares to that of competitors

Therefore a scenario has been constructed to analyse (using the EIA model) what would
happen if SLBL ceased local beer production and reverted to importing beer
    • Discontinuing Star and Guinness production
    • Assuming that the total beer consumption does not change in money terms and in
        origin from the three income groups
    • The imported (Heineken) beer carries the tax rates and margins as currently

If you want local beer you
              have to brew it yourself

A situation in which SLBL would not produce but only import
and wholesale beer would be detrimental for Sierra Leone

In case SLBL would focus entirely on importing and wholesaling Heineken beer it
would have a greatly reduced economic impact:
     • A 64% smaller total impact on industrial production
     • A 60% smaller total impact on household income

However, perversely, it would pay 66% more taxes due to fact that imported
(Heineken) beer is taxed more heavily
     • Because of the narrow tax base, the reduction of industrial production
       would not induce a large decrease in taxes (SLBL pays almost all the
       taxes of the entire supply chain)

The cost of tailoring the model to your needs are modest and
may be reduced when companies join forces
Use the model for a company in a region for which the economic infrastructure has been
modeled already
     • Starting from EUR 10.000

Use the model for a company in a region for which the economic infrastructure has not
been modeled yet
     • Starting from EUR 25.000

In order to minimize costs the plan is to create a set of “generic” regional-economic kernels
for a group of companies with geographic overlaps
      • Sub Saharan Africa
      • Latin America
      • China
      • South East Asia
      • Etc

Through this set one can cost effectively combine company data with the generic kernels to
obtain answers that may have some inaccuracy but are directionally correct

The Dutch National Committee for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development’s (NCDO) core goal is to
strengthen and highlight public support for international cooperation and sustainable development and achievement of the
Millennium Development Goals.

NCDO does this through campaigns, documentaries, subsidies for projects and events. It also initiates its own
programmes and projects if feels other organisations are not devoting enough attention to important themes. One of these
themes is the role of business in development. For this purpose NCDO has run a ‘Business in Development programme
since September 2003.

The Business in Development programme aims to engage Dutch companies and its employees in market-oriented
approaches to poverty reduction. This programme stimulates cooperation between companies in the Netherlands and
developing countries. The Business in Development programme has initiated:

The story of Heineken® began in 1864 when Gerard Adriaan Heineken bought a brewery in the heart of Amsterdam. Over 140 years,
four generations of the Heineken family have strengthened and expanded our brands and company in Europe and around the rest of
the globe.

The business of Heineken is about building great brands. The Heineken brand is sold in almost every country in the world. In addition
to the Heineken brand, the company brews and sells more than 170 international premium, regional, local and specialty beers. The
Amstel® brand of the Heineken group is Europe’s third-largest brand. Other famous brands in its portfolio include Cruzcampo®,
Tiger®, Zywiec®, Birra Moretti®, Ochota®, Murphy’s® and Star®. Heineken has the widest presence of all international brewers,
thanks to its global network of distributors and 115 breweries in more than 65 countries. The popularity of the beers of the Heineken
group is growing daily in rapidly-expanding beer markets, such as Russia and China.

In the beer markets of Western Europe, Heineken is the largest brewer and beverage distributor and the region accounts for more
than half of its global sales. Heineken wholesalers also distribute wine, spirits and soft drinks to the on-trade channel. The company
has now extended that leadership to Central and Eastern Europe. Heineken also has an international export operation, shipping beer
to major profitable markets such as the US. In some markets, the company also produces soft drinks.

Heineken is committed to growth and has embraced innovation as a key component of its strategy. The company works to continually
anticipate and meet the changing needs of consumers. Innovations of Heineken are in the areas of production, marketing,
communication, packaging and, in particular, draught beer systems, where the company is an acknowledged leader.

Heineken takes seriously its commitment to conduct business responsibly and sustainably. The company continuously expands its
initiatives to combat alcohol abuse and misuse and works to set and exceed ever-higher standards in the social and environmental
areas of our business.

In 2005, the Heineken group employed an average number of employees of 64,305 worldwide.
