Our company manual has the following:

If a SID or Departure Clearance specifies ‘Maintain Runway Heading’ it is implied that a drift correction will be applied in order to maintain the runway track.

Exceptions − USA, Canada and Australia require that Runway Heading be maintained without drift correction.

So in a Boeing deselect LNAV and depart with TOGA to maintain runway track.

or in the USA, CAN, AUS select HDG SEL on the ground or @ 400' AGL to fly HDG.
