Health and safety

Management systems

The Coca-Cola Hellenic Health and Safety management system implementation programme was launched in 2004. It has been independently verified for compliance with the European Union (EU) occupational health and safety framework directives.

The system also conforms to the International Labour Organization (ILO) guidelines on occupational health and safety management systems.By December 2008, 66 per cent of plants were certified with the OHSAS 18001 system.

We also conduct a high-profile safety programme supported by the Operating Committee which aims to build the foundation of a world-class safety culture.

HIV/AIDS and malaria

We formalised our policy on HIV/AIDS in 2004. Its guiding principles are confidentiality, non-discrimination and reasonable accommodation.

The policy was developed in accordance with the Joint United Nations (UN) Programme on HIV/AIDS, the ILO Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and The Coca-Cola Company Africa corporate guidelines.

We seek to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS on employees, their families, communities and our company. Where appropriate, we provide education, counselling and testing. We conduct awareness and prevention campaigns in countries where the disease poses a particular threat.
