To achieve its goal, Coca-Cola HBC will take the following steps:

  • by 2025, it will invest EUR 250 million in activities that will lead to a reduction in emissions,
  • it will decarbonise manufacturing processes by transitioning to 100% renewable electricity and low-carbon energy sources through energy efficiency innovation;
  • it will increase the share of rPET materials by adopting packaging-free or reusable solutions and eliminate plastics in secondary packaging,
  • it will provide customers with energy-efficient and ecological refrigerators with SmartCool technology, 
  • will reduce emissions from the natural ingredients it uses in its drinks
  • it will implement the “Green fleet park”, programme to promote low- or no-carbon alternatives. 

Additionally, Coca-Cola HBC has implemented CO2 reduction targets as part of a long-term management compensation programme. 


Coca-Cola HBC is committed to science-based goals

Coca-Cola HBC is one of the first companies to commit to goals based on science-based findings. Already in the last decade, the company has halved its direct emissions, and the plan to reduce CO2 by 2030 is already in line with the ambition to prevent warming of more than 1.5 degrees against the pre-industrial era.

The expert jury of the Business for Society alliance again ranked us among the most responsible companies in Czechia for the year 2021 and awarded the TOP RESPONSIBLE LARGE COMPANY award. 


DUE TO COMPARISON WITH THE EXTRAORDINARY FIRST YEAR OF THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS, MOST RATIO INDICATORS OF THE SUSTAINABILITY OF OUR PRODUCTION HAVE INCREASED. HOWEVER, IN TOTAL VOLUME, WE MANAGED TO REDUCE CO2 EMISSIONS IN THE ENTIRE VALUE CHAIN ​​BY 9,035 TONNES YEAR-ON-YEAR

Conscious of the impact of our activities on the environment, we strive to find sustainable solutions for current climate challenges.  

In accordance with the group environmental protection policy: 

  • we reduce energy consumption in our operations, 
  • we use alternative or renewable sources of energy, 
  • we limit our own carbon footprint and support responsible projects, 
  • we report emissions, current results and activities related to greenhouse gases in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol
Less emissions in our operations
 
We are committed to reducing direct carbon emissions in our operations by 30% by 2025 (compared to 2017). We have implemented an internationally recognised environmental management system (ISO 14000) and an energy management system (ISO 50001) in all operations.    
16.34 g CO2/litre of produced beverage 
 
In 2021, we produced an average of 16.34 g of CO2 per litre of beverage produced. That's roughly half compared to 2018. Compared to 2020, the value of this indicator rose slightly due to the specifics of production caused by the coronavirus crisis. However, we are managing to reduce it in the long term. (2020: 16.25 g; 2019: 23.59 g; 2018: 32 g)  
100% electricity from renewable sources  
 
For production plants in Prague and Teplice nad Metují, we use 100% electricity from renewable sources. 
0.38 MJ/litre of produced beverage  
 
Thanks to innovations and modernisation of production lines, we consume 0.38 MJ per litre of produced beverage in Prague and 0.34 MJ at the Natura plant. This means a slight year-on-year increase due to the difficulty of production planning during the coronavirus crisis. In Prague by one hundredth and in Natura by six hundredths of MJ. Nevertheless, we have been following the trend of reducing this indicator for a long time and since 2008 we have reduced consumption to less than half.

REFRIGERATION REPLACEMENT IS AN ABSOLUTE KEY PART OF OUR CARBON NEUTRALITY PLAN. IN SCOPE 3, THEIR CARBON FOOTPRINT IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FACTORS.

We lend energy-saving refrigerators to our customers. They are 57% more economical, use new refrigerants and help us fight global warming. In 2021, we saved 3,475 tonnes of CO2 by replacing refrigerators.
 In total, we exchanged 5,458 of them.


OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS BUILT ON DIRECT CONTACT IN INDIVIDUAL STORES.  IN 2021, WE USED 427 CARS FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AND BUSINESS PURPOSES.  


Consumption 6.02 l/100 km    
 
In total, compared to 2020, we consumed 26,911 l less fuel in Czechia. In Slovakia, it was 22,642 l less – one kilogramme of CNG is counted here as a litre of fuel. The average consumption of personal vehicles in Czechia increased by five hundredths to 6.02 l / 100 km and in the Slovakia by two hundredths to 5.90 l / 100 km thanks to the conversion of 1 kg of CNG to 1 l of diesel or gasoline. However, our total carbon footprint has decreased rapidly. Together with the change in deliveries, the new cars saved 155 tonnes of CO2.
CNG service cars and Hybrid vans 
 
All 36 Volkswagen Caddy service vehicles run on CNG from 2020. The majority of Prague customers are serviced by 10 environmentally friendly Mitsubishi hybrid vans as of December 2019.

I am very happy that Coca-Cola uses our cars to serve its customers. Our cooperation is all the more valuable because they are cars powered by alternative compressed natural gas (CNG) drives, plug-in hybrid cars and, now, also electric cars. Together, we can not only reduce our carbon footprint, but also educate the public.

Jiří Maláček HEAD OF THE CZECH REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE, ŠKODA AUTO

What we plan by 2022:

In 2022, we will reward the best sales representative in Czechia and Slovakia every month with the loan of a fully electric Škoda Enyaq iV coupé. They can thus enjoy a unique ride for a month and will also be ambassadors of our carbon neutrality.
