Coca-Cola HBC: the ecological footprint of soft drink production declines further

The Coca-Cola HBC has announced new water and carbon commitments after being named by the Dow Jones World and Europe Sustainability Indices (DJSI) as the world sustainability leader in the beverage industry.

Coca-Cola HBC has announced that the company intends to reduce water use intensity by 30 percent by 2020, compared to 2010 and also carbon dioxide emissions by 50 percent over the same period.

The company’s approach to sustainability was endorsed in September when Coca-Cola HBC was named beverage industry leader by the Dow Jones World and Europe Sustainability Indices for the second consecutive year.
