External recognition

The company’s strong sustainability performance is recognised externally. Coca‑Cola HBC has been ranked for the ninth time as the world’s most sustainable beverage company in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook.

It is also among the leaders of the global beverage industry across major benchmarks, including CDP’s A list for Climate and Water, ISS ESG, MSCI ESG, Morningstar Sustainalytics’ ESG and FTSE ESG. 

While Coca‑Cola HBC’s commitments define the overall direction, a set of measurable targets drives progress across all seven pillars of the company’s sustainability strategy: climate, packaging, water, agriculture, nutrition, biodiversity, and people and communities.

The baselines for the targets are anchored in the strongest data and recognised methodologies so that progress is comparable over time. To demonstrate its ongoing dedication to transparent reporting and consistent delivery, the company will continue to track and publish its performance annually.
