As we reflect on the past year, the Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER) would like to recognize and sincerely thank Nicolas Clerget, Global Director of Net Zero Carbon Strategy at HEINEKEN, for his outstanding leadership as BIER’s 2025 Steering Committee Chair.
When I look back on the year we just completed, what stands out most isn’t a single milestone—it’s how our people showed up for each other, for our customers, and for our communities. That commitment is the foundation we carry into 2026.
In 2025, Aflac celebrated 70 years of being there for policyholders when they need us most. From humble beginnings in Columbus, Georgia, to becoming an international Fortune 500 powerhouse and a household name, Aflac’s journey is a testament to innovation and its policyholders.
