We are proud to be a member of the Coca-Cola HBC Group, a global industry leader in sustainability. The Group has a clear vision and goals for sustainability and a bold and entrepreneurial mindset, investing in technology and innovation and collaborating with our suppliers and partners.
Sustainability creates value for our stakeholders and supports the socio-economic development of the communities we operate in. As we continue to produce our beverages in more sustainable ways, it helps us open up opportunities for a better future.
The Coca-Cola HBC Group's journey towards sustainability so far:
2006 : First commitments to reduce carbon dioxide emissions are set
2010 : A clear sustainability strategy was officially established
2016 : We were among the first companies to adopt science-based climate goals
2018 : We published Mission 2025. This is our clear and ambitious sustainability strategy focused on seven areas: climate, packaging, water, ingredients, nutrition, and people and communities.
2021 : We announced our commitment to achieve NetZeroBy40 across our entire value chain by 2040
2022 : We announced our commitment to net positive biodiversity, making us one of the first companies to do so
2023 : We integrated Egypt into our sustainability strategy – following the acquisition of Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Egypt in 2022 – and developed specific plans for the market.
Our sustainability strategy focuses on seven key areas: climate, packaging, water, ingredients, nutrition, people and communities, and biodiversity. It is supported by a set of external commitments known as “Mission 2025 ”, which are further strengthened by commitments to achieve a net zero carbon footprint by 2040 and net positive biodiversity by 2040 .
Most importantly, our track record in sustainability: it is critical for us to ensure that our communities, stakeholders, consumers, customers and employees trust our promises and feel confident that Coca-Cola HBC will run the business the right way.
Our performance has been externally recognized by top scores from 10 major ESG benchmarks, including the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI), CDP and MSCI. We were once again ranked as the world’s most sustainable beverage company by the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices 2023 (scores as of December 8, 2023).
We are proud of our achievements so far, while remaining focused on opening up a more sustainable future. And we know there is still work to be done.
