Water Reduction and Stewardship

WATER REDUCTION AND STEWARDSHIP

Water is the primary ingredient of our products, central to our manufactoring process. In order to reduce the consumption of this valuable resource, we continuously implement new technologies to ensure that local water supplies remain plentiful and its quality stays intact.

Mission 2025 sustainability commitments

  • Reduce water used per litre of beverage by 20% vs. 2017 in plants located in water risk areas;
  • Help secure water availability for all our communities in water risk areas.

our local COMMITMENTS

As part of Mission 2025, we have committed to reducing water use by 20% vs. the baseline of 2017 and to help secure water availability for communities in those areas.

To ensure the sustainability of water sources and ecosystems, we have comprehensive water risk assessments and source water protection plans for our Knockmore Hill manufacturing sites.

We have successfully reduced our water usage by 8.5% (per litre of beverage produced) since 2010 and improved water efficiency for the 12th straight year. We also continue to recycle water in our manufacturing processes, whilst returning our clean wastewater to the environment at a level that supports aquatic life via the local water authority.


We’re passionate about water stewardship here at Coca-Cola HBC! As water is a primary ingredient in our products and an essential component of our manufacturing process, protecting our water resources is not only the right thing to do - but also makes good business sense. We also know that engagement with our local community is key to our success.
