In 2022, our company was ranked for the sixth time as the world’s most sustainable beverage company 2022 by the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, one of the world’s leading global sustainability benchmarks. We are honoured that our score positioned us top among more than 7,000 companies across 61 industries according to the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2023. 2023 continued with the highest sustainability scores from the MSCI ESG Ratings, for the ninth year running. We’ve also been included in the FTSE4Good Index Series.
“We were delighted to receive these accolades,” explains Marcel Martin. “It’s an external recognition that we’re on the right path and that we’re carving the path in our industry. It recognises the work we’re doing to make our business operations more sustainable and is a result of our clear focus and continued long-term investment.
“However, we understand the immense size of the task we have in front of us to create a more sustainable business. We’ll continue to innovate, collaborate and invest so we can continue to deliver our drinks in sustainable ways.”
Innovating and collaborating for a more sustainable future
The innovative solution is the result of a strong international partnership between Coca-Cola HBC, Krones, DS Smith and Mondi.
They collaborated for over three years to develop and refine the new form of 100% recyclable cardboard carrier and recyclable paper wrap and production equipment needed to produce it.
Before launching, the new packaging was extensively tested for quality, consumer appeal and to check that it was easy to carry the drinks home.
