Economic Impact Assessment model - The world around Heineken

The economic impact of Heineken in Sierra Leone quantified


In 2006 NCDO and Heineken International commissioned Triple Value Strategy Consulting and InReturn to develop an economic impact assessment (EIA) model and test the model for the Heineken operating company Sierra Leone Brewery Limited (SLBL). The EIA model offers better insight in a company’s local economic impact, which managers lack so far.
As a result they can now have a deeper understanding of the link between company strategy and operations on local impacts. This offers a solid foundation for stakeholder interaction. Equally important, the EIA model allows companies to do scenario analyses. This enables management to more explicitly include societal opinions in their business decisions.
