South Pacific Brewery Ltd, a HEINEKEN operating company, continues to prioritize human resources by investing in employee training and development opportunities. The company's Short-Term Assignment Program allows employees to improve their skills and knowledge while also contributing to their host OpCo and SP Brewery's success. Since 2018, SP Brewery has sent staff members on STA Programs to other HEINEKEN OpCos in the Asia Pacific Region. One of them is Andrew Tobe, who was recently appointed as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Manager at HEINEKEN Malaysia Berhad. Mr. Tobe is the first Papua New Guinean to hold this position.
