Corporate governance and ownership structure

Coca-Cola HBC Czech Republic and Slovakia is a limited liability company with its registered office in Prague – Českobrodská 1329. In Slovakia, it operates through a branch office located at Kalinčiakova 33, Bratislava. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and sole managing director is Dimo Dimov, who also heads the Slovak branch. Other members of the management acting, for example, in contractual relations act on the basis of a power of attorney. The Company’s top management is represented by an eleven-member team – the so-called Senior Leadership Team (SLT) consisting of the directors of each department. This team also includes the Chief Executive Officer and one project role. Michal Dyttert was responsible for sustainability at SLT in 2025.

Coca-Cola HBC Czech Republic and Slovakia is part of the Coca-Cola HBC AG group, which is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland. The parent company’s shares are listed on the stock exchanges in London and Athens. In 2025, a dividend of EUR 1.03 (CZK 25.75) per share was paid to shareholders.


The ownership structure remains stable: 21% of the shares are held by The Coca-Cola Company, 23% by the founding company KarTess Holding, and the remaining 56% are freely traded shares. Further details are available in our investor centre here.

Corporate strategy

Risk Management

The identification and management of business risks is ensured through a robust internal ERS system. This tool enables us to identify potential threats in good time that could affect the achievement of our strategic objectives. Furthermore, we tailor our approach to specific risks so that we can turn them into competitive advantages. The system forms part of the corporate resilience management framework, for which the Chief Risk Officer is responsible at group level – he works directly with local colleagues in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Each month, the identified risks are presented to the Senior Leadership Team and recorded in a shared register, where they are monitored and addressed according to their assigned priority level. Twice a year, the team responsible for corporate resilience attends an international conference focusing on major trends and key risks. The ERS system is complemented by the IMCR (Incident Management and Crisis Resolution) programme, which sets out the rules for anticipating, monitoring and managing crisis situations, including communication in such situations. Extensive training sessions for the local team on the IMCR system took place in May.

From a risk management perspective, we also monitor the impact of environmental and social aspects on our business. Among the most important risks monitored within the framework of the integrated system are: crises related to employees and management of the Company, security, availability of inputs for production and logistics, legislative risks and regulations, behaviour of competitors in the market, quality control and others. We monitor the most significant economic trends – which require a response in the form of adjustments to our Company-wide strategy – at group level.

Innovation and quality

In 2025, we once again refreshed our portfolio and launched a range of successful product innovations in response to the latest consumer trends, as well as products reminiscent of our most successful innovations of all time, such as Coca-Cola Cherry. 

The Fanta brand came out with several refreshing new flavors, Apple Lychee, as well as limited editions Tutti Frutti and Chucky, which were associated with the summer's hit movie. Sprite has expanded its product range to include a Zero variant, and the Kinley brand wasn’t far behind either, with its Purple flavour, designed not just for lovers of mixed drinks. 

The Monster energy drink has also introduced a whole range of new product innovations, including the Ultra range with flavours such as Peachy Keen and Strawberry Dreams, the Zero versions of the popular Monster Valentino Rossi and the new Monster Lando Norris, or the new Rio Punch flavour. 

Innovations have also taken place in drinks designed to promote hydration. For example, the new flavour of premium water Römerquelle – Blackberry Lime – for HoReCa customers, Powerade Mountain Blast Zero and Blackcurrant Zero for sports enthusiasts, or the new variants of functional water VitaminWater. Last but not least, we have expanded the Cappy brand portfolio with Lemonade Berry and a new orange nectar.

A new mixed drink, Bacardi & Coke , in a can has also found its way into our portfolio.

Our innovations are in line with our 24/7 approach. We aim to be a comprehensive drinks company, focusing on delivering greater value to the customer and clearly targeted product launches.

A breath of fresh air in production and in our processes

A focus on quality remains one of our key principles. The drinks undergo laboratory checks and sensory testing to ensure that only those of the highest quality reach the consumer. Quality is ensured by water treatment systems, regular sanitisation of production lines and the certification of all raw material suppliers. In 2025, we dealt with only 34 consumer complaints requiring investigationin the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Nutritional and calorie information

Low-calorie and zero-calorie drinks hold a solid place in our strategy. In the carbonated soft drinks sector, low-calorie variants such as Coca-Cola Zero already accounted for 19.1% of the volume of drinks sold. Once again, these variants were among the most significant innovations we have launched on the market.

In the Czech Republic, carbonated soft drinks contained an average of 30.6 kcal per 100 ml. In Slovakia, it was 32.3 kcal per 100 ml.

We conduct our business ethically

Responsible marketing

We adopt a responsible approach to marketing in line with the commitments of the European beverage association UNESDA, of which we are a member. We are committed to not targeting children under the age of 13 in our marketing, and we also avoid messages that might encourage them to persuade their parents to buy our products. For energy drinks, we are raising the age limit for this rule to 18. 

Suppliers

During the year under review, we worked with a total of 1,170 suppliers, of whom 813 were from the Czech Republic, 181 from Slovakia and 176 from abroad. The proportion of local partners therefore stood at 85 %. This reflects our commitment to building a domestic supply chain.

The procurement of packaging materials is carried out in accordance with the procurement policy defined at Group level. Packaging is divided into primary and secondary. Suppliers of primary packaging must comply with KORE’s requirements and hold authorisation from the brand owner and a Letter of Authorisation (LoA), including FSSC 22000, GMP and ISO 14001. Suppliers are selected on the basis of tenders, which are carried out every 3 years. Suppliers are regularly assessed against the following selection criteria: quality, price, delivery terms and sustainability.

We work hand in hand with our customers on sustainable projects!

Communication with stakeholders

Public relations

We are in regular contact with the communities around our production sites. We meet regularly with community groups, non-profit organisations and representatives of local authorities. Through this dialogue, we receive direct feedback on activities that affect our neighbours’ daily lives, and we can effectively support their efforts towards sustainable development. In 2025, we were actively involved in the Prague 14 district through the Commission for Sustainable Development and Strategic Planning, on which we were represented. For example, the borough council was directly involved in organising a stop for our Christmas lorry in Černý Most. In Teplice nad Metují, discussions took place directly with the town’s leadership.

Members of the public can contact us by e-mail at vnejsi-vztahy.cz@cchellenic.com for the Czech Republic and vonkajsievztahy.sk@cchellenic.com pfor Slovakia, or by phone on +420 283 015 801 for the Czech Republic and +421 249 494 944 for Slovakia. Investors and potential investors can contact us at group level by email at investor.relations@cchellenic.com. Our profiles on the social media platforms LinkedIn, YouTube and Facebook are a popular way of communicating with the general public. For 2026, we’re also adding a corporate Instagram account to this mix, which will complement our brand profiles. The Behind the Bottle podcast archive also remains relevant. In 2025, we hosted a stop on the Game Changers series right here on our premises – an inspiring networking event for change-makers, not only in Prague 14.

Audits and reporting

In 2025, we once again underwent a series of financial audits: a comprehensive external audit by PWC, an internal group audit focusing on selected financial areas, and a series of quarterly internal audits. We successfully completed all of these audits with no findings of violations of the monitored rules. Risks identified during audits are addressed on an ongoing basis by designated staff in order to mitigate obstacles in future periods.

For internal reporting we use the integrated Power BI system, which provides up-to-date dashboards with the results of both financial and non-financial indicators. In this way the current results can be evaluated regularly and clearly. The Company’s community activities are reported on a monthly basis.
