We are constantly developing our portfolio by introducing new products with reduced or zero sugar content, which leads to a widening of the category. By adapting existing formulas and introducing new, innovative products, the share of reduced-calorie and calorie-free beverages in our portfolio in the non alcoholic beverage category increased to 42% between 2010 and 2023.

As a member of the European Non-Alcoholic Beverage Manufacturers Association (UNESDA), we have made voluntary commitments to responsible advertising and commercial communication. Accordingly, we do not advertise on media platforms that would directly influence children, and we firmly stand by the fact that we do not carry out direct commercial activities in primary schools, so we only sell mineral water and fruit juices in school cafeterias. From 2019, we only sell calorie-free (maximum 4 calories/100 ml energy) or low-calorie drinks near schools, both for primary and secondary school students.

Our labels help to make a conscious choice

Our product packaging and labeling are not only integral parts of our brands but also serve as the primary source of information for our consumers regarding ingredient composition, origin, and nutritional value. We strive to provide relevant and accurate information at all times while complying with legal regulations and our own commitments.

When purchasing our products, we strive to ensure that, in addition to providing appropriate and easy-to-handle packaging, our consumers are also aware of the afterlife and management of packaging waste. In 2023, we included informational messages on our product packaging to emphasize the importance of selective waste collection and the possibilities of recycling for our consumers.

In addition to complying with our legal obligations, we have made voluntary commitments to ensure that we communicate our products to our consumers in a responsible manner. In 2023, there was one instance of non-compliance related to product quality, conformity, and labeling regulations.
