1) Old boys club network is still very present in anything else but the company narrative. Diversity is an absolute must for the statistics and executives non stop are pitching stories about ESG but on the floor that never really changed the toxic boys club mentality, sadly. ESG is a calculated, strategic necessity to protect the so-called "license to operate". In reality this can be best seen as a family company that had a great ride for 10-15 years and is now searching for a new wave, hesitant to let go what worked and or to embrace what could work. A good example is the hesitance on a flexible work policy - when AmBev introduced open offices in a time that everyone was doing individual offices with doors, that was new ... now ... offices are wired differently and the company needs to adapt. all it can do is to come up with weak statements such as "at the office we work together - really? is that why we rarely talk and only talk ppt?) and political things as ... officially you need to come to work but don't worry we will not check - that is weak and against the published DNA of the company 2) Company has absorbed way too many brands and cannot run all of them so super important to understand whether this is a brand that is supported or just said to be supported.
