Dutch Brewery Will Have To Spend Investment Of About R$ 2 Million For The Construction Of The Factory. Aiming To Generate 350 Jobs In The Region

Almost a year after the official announcement that a manufacturing unit of Heineken would be built in the municipality of Passos, in Minas Gerais, construction has begun in the city. The investment will be almost R$ 2 million and it is expected that approximately 350 jobs will be generated on-site.

In an interview with G1, Sanção Lamas, project director at Heineken, stated: “We started this work two to three weeks ago, through a earthmoving company that is here. We are also having the opportunity to make contact and hire local people within this company to help us with this work. It is a great joy to see this mobilization. For now, it is a preparation phase, cleaning phase, organizing the construction site so that we can enter in the coming weeks into the earthmoving itself”.

The explanation for why the earthmoving, the stage that will initiate the construction of the factory, took about a year to begin, is that the responsible company, a partner of Heineken, was waiting for the license from Semad (State Secretariat for Environment) of Minas Gerais. According to the project director of Heineken, this first stage should take about six months to be completed, while the construction of the factory should take around a year and a half.

According to G1, to obtain authorization to start the work, the company undertook a series of environmental commitments with the Public Ministry of Minas Gerais and with the State Secretariat for Environment and Sustainable Development. Among these commitments, we can cite the partnership with the SOS Atlantic Forest Foundation and Heineken’s support for a program of the national water agency.

The License Granted To Heineken’s Factory By The Government Of Minas Gerais Has Some Conditions

Heineken’s factory in Minas Gerais had its licensing approved on January 26. However, the brewery must comply with the conditions established in the environmental license and fulfill the environmental conditions determined for each phase of the factory construction process. In addition, before starting the necessary interventions for implementation, Heineken also needs to obtain a kind of authorization from the National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage (Iphan).
