Coca-Cola Hellenic, one of the world’s leading providers of non-alcoholic beverages, has detailed advances toward sustainable development goals in its 2007 Social Responsibility Report covering all 28 countries in which it operates. The full report is available at: www.coca-colahellenic.com
A major initiative in 2007 was the decision to construct a further 15 Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants, following the successful introduction of one in Hungary a year earlier. When fully operational in two years, each of the plants will reduce CO2 emissions from 15 beverage production facilities by more than 40% each. The overall reduction in CO2 emissions from all 80 of the Company’s production facilities will be 20%. European Union Vice President, Günter Verheugen, said of the project, that it ‘…demonstrates how innovation is not just a driver of economic competitiveness, but can also underpin business contribution to wider societal goals,...’.
Coca-Cola Hellenic reports that 50% of its packaging in the European Union, and 37% over all territories, is recovered, recycled or refilled. Water efficiency has been improved by 19% and energy efficiency in plants by 27% per litre of beverage produced since 2002. As of 2008, Coca-Cola Hellenic will purchase coolers which are 20% more energy efficient than previous models.
The average calorie content of its beverages has decreased by 19% in the last six years. Guideline daily amount (GDA) labels were introduced on beverage packages in 2007, to inform consumers on calorie and nutrient content.
Following major wildfires in Greece, drought in Romania and flooding in Slovenia and Bulgaria, the Company provided around 600,000 litres of safe drinking water and contributed substantial funding for recovery programmes.
