Coca-Cola HBC, a leading bottler of the brands of The
Coca-Cola Company, has announced new water and carbon commitments
after being named by the DJSI as the world sustainability leader in
the beverage industry.
Coca-Cola HBC has announced that it intends to reduce water use
intensity by 30% by 2020, compared to 2010 and direct carbon
emissions intensity by 50% 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.
Coca-Cola HBC was also ranked eighth out of the top 100
companies listed on the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE 100)
Index for its carbon reporting by Carbon Clear — and ranked first
within the beverage sector.
Dimitris Lois, Chief Executive Officer of Coca-Cola HBC, said:
“Sustainability is an integral part of our culture, visible in
every aspect of our business. Being ranked by DJSI as world
sustainability leader in the beverage industry inspires us to
continuously raise the bar. It is our pleasure to make these
commitments related to our water and carbon footprint. Our
partnerships with stakeholders and our communities have been
fundamental to our achievements so far and will continue to be
instrumental in meeting our new commitments, supporting the global
action to reach the Sustainable Development Goals recently endorsed
by the United Nations.”
This is the eighth year that the company has been included in
the DJSI, the global benchmark for corporate sustainability, due to
its rigorous assessment process and its focus on best-in-class
companies.
Of the 2,500 companies across different industries, invited to

beverage industry best with a total score of 87/100. This was 34
points higher than the industry average. The company was ranked

materials sourcing, human capital development, health &
nutrition, social reporting, and talent attraction &
