Coca‑Cola HBC Commits €5 Million in New Funding, Following €4.3 Million Approved for Community Support Across 2024–2025

We are proud to announce that Coca-Cola HBC is committing €5 million in new funding to The Coca-Cola HBC Foundation.

This commitment, given ahead of the company’s 75th anniversary, builds on the impact delivered through The Coca-Cola HBC Foundation over the past two years. Established to provide fast, meaningful support to communities in moments of need, the Foundation has continued to play a vital role across our markets.

Our Foundation: Purpose and Focus

Launched in 2023, The Coca-Cola HBC Foundation is a charitable foundation dedicated to supporting communities across the regions where we operate through grants to nonprofit organisations.

To help drive meaningful and lasting impact, we prioritise funding and, where relevant, advice and expertise, in four key areas:

• Community resilience, including disaster relief and recovery
• Sustainable access to safe water for our communities
• Economic empowerment for young people
• Circular economy projects and initiatives.

€4.3 million in grants approved to support communities in 2024–2025

Between 2024 and 2025, The Coca-Cola HBC Foundation has been deploying over €4.3 million to address urgent community needs and strengthen long-term resilience. Funding supports a wide range of initiatives, from emergency response to youth empowerment.

This work is being delivered in close collaboration with trusted partners across our markets, ensuring support reaches the people and places where it matters most.

Looking ahead: confirmed commitment to support our communities

As we enter 2026, Coca –Cola HBC has already committed €5 million in funding for the Foundation, ensuring that we, together with our partners, can respond swiftly and responsibly to the needs of our communities. These funds will be allocated to initiatives across the regions where we operate, aligned with the Foundation’s focus areas of community resilience, sustainable access to safe water, economic impact and disaster relief. The funds will be available for distribution in 2026, in line with the Foundation’s robust grant execution processes. 

We are grateful to our partners, local NGOs and public authorities whose dedication and expertise make this work possible. The trust our communities place in us is at the heart of everything the Foundation does, and it motivates us to continue strengthening our support year after year. Together, we will keep building stronger, more resilient communities across our footprint.
