Our company is committed to its 2025 goals. We adapt to changing circumstances, which also bring with them new opportunities to achieve our goals.

Our sustainability targets for 2023 have been set in line with the Group’s guidelines and we also took into consideration our previous year’s performance and our portfolio and volume plans. 

Although our Hungarian facilities are not located in water-scarce areas, reducing the amount of water used in the production of our products remains one of our key objectives. Instead of achieving the set goal of 1.70 l/lpb, we ended the year with a result of 1.74 l/lpb. In addition to the impact of production volume, the higher water usage ratio was influenced by shorter production runs (due to more frequent adjustments required by the product portfolio), extra cleaning needed due to storm-related flooding, efforts to mitigate microbiological risks, and a pipe breakage incident.

Together with our stakeholders, we review our key issues every year.

At Coca‑Cola HBC Hungary, we continuously monitor changes in our environment that has an impact on our business. We listen to the feedbacks of our stakeholders and communities which we have an impact on.

For the fourth year in row, climate change, and packaging and waste management have been the primary materiality issues for Coca-Cola HBC.

In line with GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) guidance, we identify those social, economical and environmental topics as key issues which have an impact on our business operation or are of utmost importance for our external and internal stakeholders. The regularly conducted materiality survey ensures that we give an account of our sustainability performance in the most relevant and important areas.

It is a core element of our sustainability activities that we maintain a continuous dialogue and partnership with our stakeholders.

At Coca‑Cola HBC Hungary, we look proactively for the opportunities to involve the individuals and organisations impacted by our activities directly or indirectly into our operation. We identify our stakeholders in accordance with our sustainability strategy.
