Asia Pacific Breweries Singapore (APBS), part of The HEINEKEN Company, has climbed to 2nd place on Singapore’s Best Employers 2025 list, as recognised by The Straits Times and Statista. The company has also maintained its Great Place to Work certification for the third consecutive year. APBS attributes its success to empowering employees to take initiative and make impactful changes within the workplace.
APBS has fostered a culture where employees are encouraged to bring the company’s values to life through various initiatives. These include sustainability projects like the “Race to Reduce” Ideathon, which led to eco-friendly improvements such as a returnable lunchbox system and water-saving taps. The company is also committed to supporting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
In response to employee feedback, APBS has enhanced its workplace amenities, adding a new recreation space with facilities for badminton, table tennis, and wellness activities. This initiative was designed and championed by the employees themselves, reflecting the company’s commitment to prioritising staff wellbeing.
Mental health is another area of focus for APBS. The company has introduced initiatives such as Muay Thai classes and creative workshops to normalise mental health conversations. Additionally, a 24/7 on-demand support app has been launched in partnership with mental health experts to provide confidential care.
Shaun Ee, Cluster Head of People at The HEINEKEN Company, stated, “These workplace recognitions belong to our people, who consistently go above and beyond in their roles and look out for one another as a team.” As APBS continues to grow, its culture of trust and empowerment remains central to its operations, reinforcing its status as a top employer.
