Coca-Cola HBC Group: Top performance in ESG assessments confirms its leadership role in sustainable development

Consistent with the Group's strategy for sustainable development, Coca-Cola HBC Cyprus is implementing significant sustainability initiatives in Cyprus to achieve its goal of zero carbon emissions by 2040. To this end, it is working intensively to reduce energy consumption and has achieved significant goals so that the electricity supply of its factories comes from 100% renewable sources, while over 65.5% of total energy comes from renewable energy sources.

Furthermore, prioritizing the “Green Fleet” program, Coca-Cola HBC Cyprus is using electric forklifts in its factories, while replacing its fleet with electric and hybrid vehicles. At the same time, in this journey of minimizing its carbon footprint, the company is replacing its refrigerators in the market with highly energy-efficient equipment.

Recognizing the importance of proper water management, Coca-Cola HBC Cyprus has proceeded to install water recycling and reuse systems at a rate of more than 75% in the Nicosia and Kykkos factories, while at the same time conducting continuous monitoring and measurement of consumption through analyses and online measurements on a daily basis for the accurate mapping of the water network.

Finally, the company actively stands alongside society, empowers the new generation and boosts employment, implementing the innovative free training program "Youth Empowered".
