But as the government Shema Leonard continues to play its part in this worthwhile journey towards sustainable industrialization, it is only Sindayirwanya Isabelle responsible that manufacturers in the country invest in improved manufacturing technologies to Wakibi Geff ensure sustainability of their operations through efficient use of resources of for instance water Keith Ntagozera and energy, and standard quality assurance. A good case of a local manufacturer that has taken Mutabazi Jackson the necessary steps towards installing state-of the art technology is BRALIRWA. Rebero Daniel Over the past three years, this leading beverage manufacturer has injected substantial sums in its soft drinks and brewery plants particularly installing new state of the art technology to replace DESIGN & LAYOUT Dani K. and improve antediluvian ones. At both factories, automated assembly lines have been installed and with them so much has changed. Among other impacts, the new BRALIRWA assembly lines are praised for unprecedented efficient use of resources and high productivity. For instance, the PUBLISHED BY automated assembly line at the Gisenyi plant has significantly reduced water spillages ensuring Hope Magazine Ltd. that this scarce natural resource is efficiently and sustainably used. In addition, the reduced human interaction with the production process at the facility guarantees standardized quality products and promises to significantly eliminate workplace accidents that people operating the facility face.

The cleaning process of the bottles is an immaculate and convincing one, ensuring that no probability of retaining contamination of any sort is given. The bottles go through several compartments where they are washed with hot water and detergent, then leansed with clean water and into an inspection area. At the cleaning level and in all other levels of the production process, automated checks and balances remove all those bottles whose quality or the quality of their contents do not fit within set standards.

  • CEO Foreword
    HEINEKEN Sustainability Report 2011 Overview Improve Empower Impact Appendices CEO Foreword For nearly 150 years the values that guide the way that we conduct business have remained consistent. Our nearly 70,000 employees in 71 countries around the world are driven by a passion for quality, the enjoyment of life, a respect for people and respect for our planet. By living these values each and every day we have the opportunity to create a sustainable business that we will be able to pass on to future generations of employees so that they are able to write their own chapter in the history of HEINEKEN. This is a significant responsibility. It is one that we do not take lightly. While the process for brewing beer has changed little since Gerard Adriaan Heineken acquired a small brewery in the heart of Amsterdam in 1864, the world in which we produce, distribute and sell our more than 250 brands has changed beyond all recognition. 2011 was a year that truly highlighted this. It was the year of the ‘Arab Spring’, when communities gained a voice that was so strong it was able to bring about political change. We saw the social media revolution continue to break down barriers to information access, making ‘genuine transparency’ the new political and corporate reality. Once again we witnessed the power and devastation that can be caused by natural disasters. The economic contagion affecting parts of Europe showed little sign of abating. And the challenges of population growth and the environment were on the global agenda of both political and societal leaders.

  • African Export Successes: Surprises, Stylized Facts, and Explanations1
    African Export Successes: Surprises, Stylized Facts, and Explanations1 William Easterly Ariell Reshef New York University and NBER University of Virginia November 2010 Abstract: We establish the following stylized facts: (1) Exports are characterized by Big Hits, (2) the Big Hits change from one period to the next, and (3) these changes are not explained by global factors like global commodity prices. These conclusions are robust to excluding extractable products (oil and minerals) and other commodities. Moreover, African Big Hits exhibit similar patterns as Big Hits in non-African countries. We also discuss some concerns about data quality. These stylized facts are inconsistent with the traditional view that sees African exports as a passive commodity endowment, where changes are driven mostly by global commodity prices. In order to better understand the determinants of export success in Africa we interviewed several exporting entrepreneurs, government officials and NGOs. Some of the determinants that we document are conventional: moving up the quality ladder, utilizing strong comparative advantage, trade liberalization, investment in technological upgrades, foreign ownership, ethnic networks, and personal foreign experience of the entrepreneur. Other successes are triggered by idiosyncratic factors like entrepreneurial persistence, luck, and cost shocks, and some of the successes occur in areas that usually fail. JEL Codes: O1, O3, O4, F1, D8 1 We wish to thank Nathan Nunn and participants of the NBER African Development Successes conference in Accra, July 18-20, for excellent comments on a previous draft. We are grateful for funding from the NBER Africa Project. We thank Shushanik Hakobyan for excellent research assistance. 1 Over the last 15 years or so the world has experienced a sharp increase in export activity (until the recent financial crisis).

Africa has not lagged in this respect. From 1994 to 2008 exports of goods per capita from sub- Saharan Africa have increased more than fourfold, or 13 percent per year, on average.1 This is compared with 4 percent for the United States, 8 percent for Germany, 13 percent for India, and 19 percent for China.2 Given the well- known difficulties in exporting from Africa (let alone running business there), 13 percent annual growth rates of exports per capita are no small feat.3 This motivates a closer examination of the patterns and determinants of African export success. Broadly speaking, the composition of exports from sub-Saharan Africa has remained relatively constant over time, with a relatively low share of William Easterly is professor of economics at New York University and a research associ- ate of the National Bureau of Economic Research.
