2015 SuStainability RepoRt

letteR to StakeholdeRS

ear Stakeholders, in 2015 the company undertook a growth path in line with the context of sustainability described in this document and with the values that distinguish the work of Coca-Cola hbC italia.

Acting in the best possible way as an enterprise, preserving and increasing the trust of our stakeholders is crucial and strategic for the improvement of our performance. The results achieved have contributed to confirm the European and global leadership of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, to which Coca-Cola HBC Italia proudly belongs, for sustainability in the beverage industry in 2015, according to the parameters of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.

The great involvement and commitment of all employees, to which the Company provided 2,700 more training hours than in 2014, has helped the Company strengthen the results with a sustainable growth perspective in the long term. An example that I would like to emphasize in this regard concerns the respect for and protection of the environment: we have outlined a plan to reduce the use of water and CO2 emissions per liter of beverage by 2020, a project that will allow the Company to increase efficiency while reducing the impact of its activities. The plants of Nogara and Rionero in Vulture, which in 2015 obtained the EWS (European Water Stewardship) certification attesting to the proper management of water resources, stand as a demonstration of this concrete commitment. With regard to CO2 emissions, we achieved significant reductions due to the transport of products by rail and the launch of innovative projects, such as “Zero Emission Distribution”, a model of virtuous logistics to serve urban centers using electric vehicles.

Consistently with the path started last year with regard to reporting, we have strengthened and expanded the process of engaging with our stakeholders, in line with the provisions of the GRI-G4 standard followed in drafting this document. For each strategic issue that can produce a significant economic, social and environmental impact, we have collected the opinions of our people in order to understand their views on integration of sustainability in business processes. At the same time we have involved numerous external stakeholders belonging to various categories (customers, suppliers, media, universities, non-profit associations, consumer associations) to learn about their thoughts on the same issues.

Engagement represents a useful experience of dialogue and a true engine for our growth: it has allowed us to obtain useful information to guide our business strategy, creating value for all the supply chain, for the communities in which we operate, and for our employees.

I hope you enjoy reading the report! Vitaliy Novikov General Manager, Coca-Cola HBC Italia

SoCIaL rePortING

Since 2004, Coca-Cola HBC Italia has undertaken its path in the area of corporate social responsibility, publishing an annual Sustainability Report. This is the tool with which the Company presents its sustainability policies and accounts for the results achieved in various areas of commitment. Since 2011, a website dedicated to sustainability has also been created (www.lanostraricetta.it), which is able to offer a simple and complete representation of the Company’s strategies and actions. The reference area for drawing up the 2015 Sustainability Report covers the period 1 January - 31 December 2015 (on an annual basis) for both Coca-Cola HBC Italia S.r.l. and for the company Fonti del Vulture S.r.l.. The information relates to the activities carried out in 5 production plants in Italy, including 3 belonging to Coca-Cola HBC Italia and 2 to Fonti del Vulture (the mineral water bottling plant in Monticchio, province of Potenza, is included in the 2015 Report, although the sale of the property was announced officially in 2016). To draw up this Sustainability Report, Coca-Cola HBC Italia, under the coordination of the Department of Public Affairs and Communication, carried out an internal process involving the

organizational structure through contributions from various corporate areas and functions. The data were collected through special surveys and interviews with department managers according to the approach required by the G4 standard, and subsequently verified with an internal control process. No external assurance of the report was required.

MethodoLoGICaL reFereNCeS

For the preparation of this Sustainability Report, Coca-Cola HBC Italia carried out a careful mapping of its stakeholders, by activating channels for internal and external stakeholders, which allowed it to verify their indications, including them in the Company’s targets and business activities to build the materiality matrix. In particular, the identification, mapping and interview of Stakeholders were performed according to the International Standard AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard, which supports stakeholder engagement methodologically so as to perform it in agreement with strategic issues that are significant for the Company. The drafting of the Sustainability Report, also for the 2015 edition, followed the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative GRI-G4.

the path towaRdS SuStainability

Based on the current coverage of the indicators associated with the material aspects summarized in the final correlation table, the level of compliance with the GRI-G4 Guidelines is “in accordance - core”. Moreover, in line with the aforementioned standard, Coca-Cola HBC Italia revised its analysis of materiality, whose final result was obtained from the assessments of the organization and its stakeholders.

StakehoLderS:MaPPING aNd eNGaGeMeNt INItIatIVeS

Stakeholders are entities on which the enterprise has an impact and that, at the same time, have an impact on the enterprise itself. The driving factor that directs Coca-Cola HBC Italia in the management of social responsibility consists in the continuous attention to and engagement with its stakeholders. The dialogue takes place through various tools such as meetings, surveys and researches, all aimed at involving employees, customers, suppliers, non-profit organizations and any other stakeholders. The following is the stakeholder map of Coca-Cola HBC Italia, built by taking into account all main stakeholders

by homogenous category with whom the Company interacts in carrying out its activities.

MaterIaLItY MatrIx

The analysis of materiality is a strategic tool to define the most relevant and significant issues for the Company and for all its stakeholders. All issues that influence the decisions, actions and performance of an organization and/or its stakeholders are defined as “material”. Therefore, it is important both to define the issues inside the organization and to enable appropriate forms of engagement and dialogue with stakeholders in order to understand the relevance of “material” issues for the same. The path to build the 2015 Sustainability Report and the materiality analysis was in line with the path of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company by making use of two internationally recognized standards, i.e. GRI G4, which places emphasis on the preparation of the analysis of materiality, and AA1000 for Stakeholder Engagement. In particular, the analytical work of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company led to the identification of strategic issues, namely those producing a significant economic, social and environmental impact.

The result was a list of “material” issues, which was the starting point for the analysis of the Italian context.

The second phase of the process was the assessment of issues to define their position on the matrix, obtained by checking the degree of importance both for the organization and for external stakeholders at different analytical moments:

a questionnaire for the Senior Leadership Team, i.e. the Board of Coca-Cola HBC Italia, to best define the relevance of the issues proposed in line with the Company’s strategy;

a series of interviews with 11 top-middle managers;

an online questionnaire, to which approximately 30 managers replied, in order to understand their strategic vision and their opinions as to the degree of integration of sustainability within business processes;

an online questionnaire for external stakeholders: a total of 24 stakeholders in the following categories replied: customers (mass retailers, Ho.re.ca.), suppliers and partners (suppliers of raw materials, transport, other goods and services), civil society (the media, world of sports, non-profit associations, universities), institutions (national institutions, local institutions, public authorities), market (competitors, industry associations) and consumers (end consumers, consumers’ associations).

The result of the process was the materiality matrix of Coca-Cola HBC Italia shown on the next page. All issues with scores of at least 7 on a scale from 1 to 10 on both axes were evaluated as significant for the Company.

the main ingredients for the production of beverages sold under the brand the Coca-Cola Company, are water, concentrate, sugar and other sweeteners and food grade Co2.

The manufacturing process requires multiple activities, aimed at ensuring food safety through strict quality controls. The main steps are as follows.

FIrSt PhaSe: water treatment and preparation of the syrupWater is undoubtedly the most important element to ensure the quality and safety of soft drinks produced by Coca-Cola HBC Italia. For this reason, before being used in the production process, water is subjected to special treatments that ensure the microbiological safety and correct concentration of naturally dissolved salts in compliance with specific compositional and sensory characteristics.

The other component of beverages is simple syrup, which is prepared in special tanks by dissolving sugar in the treated water. It is then filtered to remove any impurities. Only after this, is the “simple syrup” mixed with “concentrate” or the various “basic preparations” used for the preparation of the various drinks, thus becoming “final syrup.”

Through a flash pasteurization thermal process, the shelf life of the most sensitive

products is ensured without altering their sensory characteristics.

Alongside the preparation of syrups, the processing is

performed of the classic glass bottles, PET bottles (recyclable food

grade plastic) or cans, for containing beverages. The containers are subjected to a washing process. Subsequently, an electronic control phase is carried out to ensure the highest hygienic standards.

SeCoNd PhaSe:filling and packaging The treated and cooled water is mixed with the “final syrup” and with the carbon dioxide that gives the product its characteristic sparkling feature. The drink is ready to be packaged: tens of thousands of perfectly clean containers are filled, hermetically sealed, labeled, coded and tested in modern automatic plants.

The glass bottles are placed in boxes, while the non-returnable glass bottles, PET bottles and cans go into the various multi-packs. Drinks dispensed on tap can be packed at the factories in steel drums (Pre-Mix), or prepared at the point of sale (Post-Mix). In the latter case, the “final syrup”, packaged at the plants in special flexible containers called “bag-in-box”, is instantly mixed with drinking water, further purified through a suitable filtration apparatus, carbonated and chilled.

The production and distribution cycle is characterized by the constant supervision of Quality Control managers and staff from the selection of raw materials and packaging materials, to the time when the drink is purchased by the end consumer: checks are performed at the suppliers’ premises, public houses and points-of-sale that market the products of Coca-Cola HBC Italia, ensuring the constant maintenance of the highest quality standards that the Coca-Cola Company requires to ensure total consumer safety and satisfaction.

totalqualityday

in line with the total Quality policy, the total Quality day has been celebrated since 2007, a day dedicated to the in-depth study of topics such as the control of raw materials, quality standards in production processes, security-related issues, such as proper handling of goods, sustainable waste management, emergency procedures in case of fire and first aid, with courses designed according to the specific needs of the business departments involved.

reSponSiblemarketing

Coca-Cola hellenic bottling Company, in line with the Coca-Cola Company, takes its commitment to market its products responsibly very seriously.

Responsible Marketing is also a part of the four strategic pillars (the four Cs) announced in 2013, to contribute to the development of happier and more active communities. This is why a “handbook for the adoption of Responsible Marketing” has been drawn up in order to provide adequate self-regulation and implementation of responsible marketing practices, including the communication of correct, transparent and truthful messages respectful of the laws and local regulations in force.

reSponSiblemarketing

Coca-Cola hbC italia and Coca Cola italia have adhered to the Code of Conduct of aSSobibe (italian association of industrialists of non-alcoholic beverages), drawn up following the guidelines of the corresponding european association uneSda (union of european Soft drinks associations), which regulates product marketing and promotion practices. Membership involves a commitment to ensure that advertising and marketing activities are not aimed at children under 12 years old. this, for example, means not buying advertising space directly addressing audiences made up of children under the age of 12 for more than 35%. the same approach is adopted in primary schools: respecting the right of parents to decide what their children should eat or drink, Coca-Cola does not sell its products in elementary school vending machines in italy directly, nor performs promotional and sampling activities of its products.

CoMPLaINtS reSoLUtIoN

In addition to taking care of the development of responsible commercial communications, attention is paid to the resolution of complaints from consumers, an important indicator for monitoring the index of product quality. Compared to the 2014 performance, the absolute number of complaints received for quality issues decreased by 23% during 2015. Comparing the number of complaints received with the number of containers sold, the index decreased by 28% thanks to the effective corrective actions implemented. In particular, the following should be reported:15% of complaints on the quality of packaging 85% of complaints on the quality of products

Moreover, the increasing commitment of Coca-Cola HBC Italia is also shown in the timely response to complaints received from consumers (average resolution time is about 53 days), with 98% of complaints closed in 2015.

total resignations in 2015 amounted to 71. In the past year, there were no significant corporate reorganization processes as in the previous two years.With regard to the number of resignations for personal reasons, the 2015 data is in line with the average trend of voluntary resignations over the past three years.

The percentage of voluntary turnover referred to 2015 appears slightly above the trend of previous years. This figure is still to be considered positive, since it is well below the market rates.

With regard to industrial relations, the main topics of discussion concerned the start of the Buccinasco logistics outsourcing (which will be completed in 2016) and the complete management of the Marcianise logistics outsourcing project (ended in 2015).

PeoPLe deVeLoPMeNt

The PM&d Cycle is an annual process linked to employee performance management and development, which begins with the allocation of annual targets and sharing of the Individual Development Plan (IDP) between the manager and the employee, which sets out the actions to be carried out during the year to support the employee’s performance. The Individual Development Plan (IDP) is initially proposed by the employee and subsequently validated during the People Development Forums (PDF).

PDFs are meetings in which managers discuss and jointly standardize the performance and potential of all their employees and where succession plans, career paths and personal development plans to support them are outlined.

Other key moments of the process are the Mid-year Review and the Quarterly Review, two talks between manager and employee carried out during the year in order to discuss the progress of the individual development plan and monitor the achievement of targets.

In 2015, several training days were provided at the development Center, with programs aimed to know the status of managerial and technical skills deemed critical with respect to the role being covered, by administering several tests to the population involved. For example, 134 persons in the sales department were involved at various organizational levels through a structured assessment path that made it possible to verify their skills and knowledge. The aim of these days is therefore to investigate which is the gap between the skills level possessed and the desired level for the role.

This in-depth study allows the company to create awareness in the population involved in regard of their own strengths and areas for improvement and to create special individual development plans to support their performance over time. In addition to the individual benefit with regard to the gap that has emerged, these days are also useful to comprehensively map the skills of the population involved in

order to direct and organize specific training programs for emerging needs.

The programs therefore support and complete the individual development plans and corporatetraining programs.

53% of training hours were devoted to commercial training, highlighting the focus that the company places on this specific business area. In fact, there are as many as 15 people specialized in classroom and coaching activities throughout the national territory in support of the sales force. Dedicated training facilities are also provided for the Supply Chain, another business unit to which particular attention is paid, as witnessed by 17% of the hours devoted to it out of the entire corporate training package. In addition to the traditional classroom activities, Management training (15% of total training hours) requires a final test to verifythe participants’ level of learning.

Training on quality represented 6.7% of the total training provided during 2015 and involved 21% of all employees of Coca-Cola HBC Italia and Fonti del Vulture. Every year, as has been done for ten years now, the basic principles of food safety and quality are refreshed during the Total Quality Day: these are courses that are held at all plants, with production stoppage, involving all business functions.

Issues relating to product quality and protection of the workers’ health and safety are studied with training activities during the day, with particular attention to environmental issues.

Moreover, in-depth courses on issues relating to the certifications HACCP, GMP and ISO are conducted during the recruitment phase and in view of verifying the training of the newly recruited personnel.

In 2015, training was focused on the completion of programs concerning the odP projects (Operator Development Program), a theoretical and practical training course aimed to develop and/or improve the technical skills of line operators, and the Sensory Program, which was launched at the request of The Coca-Cola Company to standardize the method of evaluating the sensory properties of beverages in terms of taste, smell and appearance compliance.Representatives of Coca-Cola HBC Italia, referred to as Bottler Sensory Leaders (BSL), participated in the training program established by The Coca-Cola Company in Brussels on sensory science (focusing on the standard evaluation method, tasting techniques, analysis and recognition of off-taste / off-odor), which led to the establishment of a panel with the task of training the plant personnel, later evaluated by The Coca-Cola Company through blind testing (Proficiency Test).Moreover, the MdP project (Microbiologists Development Program) was instituted by Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company to assess the skills of laboratory personnel in the microbiological field. An initial assessment of the basic level of the population involved (in the following areas: Sampling and Analysis, Results Interpretation & RCA, Techniques & Process & Instruments, Docs & Health & Safety, Practical Test) preceded the development plans to implement knowledge(specific training).

One of the main objectives of Coca-Cola HBC Italia is the growth of its employees and to this end it has set up a special development acceleration program, the Fast Forward Program.

This program aims to accelerate the development path for those who have the highest potential and show a desire to grow within the company so as to cover more complex roles at higher levels of leadership.

In 2015, 29 employees were involved in the program. The growth of people is an element on which company managers are strongly focused and, because of the strong management team, Coca-Cola HBC Italia has been honored with an accolade by the Randstad Award based on the results of a survey on employer branding conducted by the above firm specializing in services for human resources.

The worsening figure in 2015 for days lost due to accidents was in particular the result of two important events: an accident when travelling (137 days lost) and an accident that occurred at the plant of Rionero in Vulture (295 days lost), which involved a logistics worker. The main risks linked to the business activity are:

driving the company fleet (i.e. the risk of an accident for the traveling sales force);

accidents generated by improper behavior while using work equipment and not by structural / plant deficiencies

The high increase in cases of “near accidents” reported in 2015 compared to the previous financial year is mainly due to the increase in reports from the sales force and vehicle fleet office, which mainly concerned:

in 2015, numerous “toolbox talks” and “walk-the-talk” sessions were carried out. these are informal meetings on safety between the site managers and operational staff with the goal of identifying any critical issues relating to the daily activities and possible solutions to be adopted for the prevention of accidents. during 2015, greater emphasis was given to the quality of “walk-the-talk” sessions conducted. More specifically, 1,943 “toolbox talks” were held, which included 1,132 for the Sales function, 784 for the Supply Chain function and 27 at the offices. also, 1,352 “walk-the-talk” sessions were held, which included 40 for the Sales function, 1,305 for the Supply Chain function and 7 at the offices.

In addition, at all company locations, first aid courses open to all employees were conducted. They focused on issues of Basic Life Support (BLS) and unblocking of airways, whether pediatric or otherwise.

The courses were held by operators of the Italian emergency service 118 and all participants had the

opportunity to personally experience the life-saving maneuvers. Work-related stress is also included within health and safety issues: in 2015, the annual survey relating to this issue, conducted in compliance with the legal requirements of

Legislative Decree No. 81/08, as amended, showed different results in the various business

functions surveyed. The major evidence, with regard to the areas of improvement, regarded the

following topics: workload, work organization and work environment (in particular, attention to people).

Other less widespread, but significant, evidence regarded the recognition of one’s role in the Company. The surveyed population overall showed a great sense of responsibility, a constructive attitude and a great sense of belonging to the “brand”. The same respondents suggested improvement actions such as: setting and sharing clear and non-changeable targets, simplifying business processes and procedures, communicating effectively and increasing engagement activities.

In response to such evidence, the Improvement Plan was launched in 2015. Many proposed actions were implemented and made operational immediately, others will be in 2016. The following were some of the actions undertaken:

new types of contracts, such as teleworking and remote working (for the staff functions);

“the Youman Factor” project at the plant in Nogara, focusing on behavior based Safety. The project will continue in 2016;

introduction of new role models such as catalysts (Sales and Supply chain) or Simplification managers (Sales), roles that provide a stimulus for employees and collect suggestions “from below” and support in the sales process;

working groups during the company convention, to share objectives.

moveweek

Move week is a week dedicated to movement that the entire Coca-Cola system in the world celebrates every year through initiatives and information addressed to all employees on the importance of an active lifestyle. in 2015, Coca-Cola hbC italia launched the initiative at all its corporate locations. at the Milan offices a series of activities were implemented during working hours (for example, fit-walking lessons, nike postural training, Football Match, beach Volleyball Match, etc.). at the production plants and at the warehouse in buccinasco a number of tools to keep fit and exercise while having fun were made available throughout the week. the promotion of sports and movement was accompanied by a seminar on nutrition and lifestyle for the prevention of oncological diseases, which was attended by employees of the headquarters, while the personnel of the production plants was given the opportunity to participate via Skype connection.

As every year, the annual survey MyVoice, now in its ninth edition, was conducted in October 2015. The survey collected the employees’ opinions on their sense of belonging to the Company. The percentage of participation was 91%, showing a significant increase compared to respondents in the previous year, equal to 75%. Thanks to a clear strategic communication, an overall simplification of internal procedures and a precise definition of the roles of leaders, the so-called “Sustainable Engagement Index” rose by 8 points over the previous year, reaching a rate of 77% (69 % in 2014).

This positive result confirms the effort undertaken by the organization in the past year. The Company shares the strategies and results obtained with its employees in a transparent manner: in addition to using the internal communication tools (Intranet, newsletters, Coke TV, message boards and an online platform for the sales force), encounters with top management are organized periodically at the Company premises and informal monthly meetings for the headquarters staff with the Chief Executive Officer. Employees are considered true ambassadors of the Company and the “ambassador” program has been developed precisely for such purpose. Its objective is to provide correct information, through an interactive presentation, on products and ingredients, business strategies for the promotion of an active lifestyle and commitment to sustainability.

Corporate engagement was enhanced through 35 internal initiatives dedicated to movement, promotion of the brand and corporate strategies, sharing corporate projects, promotions and partnerships with colleagues in the first place, in order to strengthen their pride and confidence in the business and products.

The Family day is an opportunity to promote an active lifestyle and show the plant to family members. On such occasion the employees’ family members have access to the corporate premises and production plants, where several activities are planned, including a visit to the production cycle.The Coca-Cola Sports Village is set up during these days. This is a mobile village consisting of several activities (human foosball, table tennis, basketball, foosball, jumping, Just Dance), prominence is given to advertising campaigns (#BaciaLaFelicità and #DaiUnBacio), new products are tasted and finally the employees can buy gadgets at the Coca-Cola marketplace, the proceeds of which are donated to local non-profit organizations. In 2015, on the occasion of EXPO Milan, various engagement activities were organized for employees by providing: 1,500 discount codes to purchase the ticket, 100 free tickets, 12 sets of Alu-bottle, Expo aluminum bottle in a limited edition. Expo was also the scene for numerous functional meetings of Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, which were attended by more than 500 employees inside the Coca-Cola pavilion. With regard to corporate welfare policies during 2015, time flexibility initiatives addressed at the entire office personnel were extended with the ability to work for three days a month from home on a voluntary basis; mandatory clocking in and clocking out was eliminated. These new practices are now fully operational and offer great benefits for the welfare of workers through a better work - life balance.

In accordance with the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company guidelines, the Safety Week, devoted in particular to first aid, was held in November 2015. Awareness-raising of personnel took place through targeted toolbox talks, dedicated posters and specific information transmitted via internal communication channels.

In particular, training is primarily delivered in classroom (90%) and only in part in e-learning mode (10%, mainly for General Training and AlertDriving courses). As agreed with Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, the year 2015 will be the last year of the three-year enrollment cycle in the course AlertDriving required for all employees driving a company car or who frequently go on business trips. In particular, 250 employees mainly belonging to non-SALES functions (Manufacturing, HR, Warehouse, PA&C, etc.) were enrolled in the course in 2015.

In the three year period 2013-2015, a total of 1,450 employees were enrolled in the course altogether. Health and safety issues are also addressed at the Total Quality Day, called “Win Together Day” at the plant in Nogara. The initial training for newly recruited workers (general and specific training) is provided when entering the company and in any case within 60 days from recruitment. It is followed by a coaching phase or “on-the-job training” with experienced colleagues or supervisors.

Coca-Cola HBC Italia carried out the following activities in 2015:

The increases of production recorded in 2015 are due in part to two factors: on the one hand the start of the economic recovery, which produced an increase in demand; on the other hand, the particularly warm summer, which favored soft drink consumption.

water bottling at the production facilities in monticchio (Potenza) and rionero in Vulture (Potenza);

storage at the warehouse in buccinasco (milan), in addition to some outsourced transit points and fast-flow points.

The main part of the total sales volume is made up by carbonated drinks, while waters account for about a quarter of total sales.

Among the carbonated drinks there was a growth in consumption of those with low calorie count, which in 2015 increased their weight on the total, mainly due to the brand Coca-Cola Zero.

Business support activities are added to the actual production. These are known as “reconditioning” activities, i.e. repair / regeneration of display refrigerators, which are thus put on the market again (in bars, restaurants, etc.). The display refrigerators are owned by Coca-Cola HBC Italia, which, through the use of trusted suppliers, is responsible for their maintenance and makes them available to its customers.

Until 2013, reconditioning activities were carried out by Coca-Cola HBC Italia through its own technical department (TS&E), later outsourced.

Although the weight of the sales channels remained similar compared to 2014, the approach to the same channels changed in 2015: a new partnership system with customers was launched, aiming at increasing the distribution service efficiency and effectiveness, called Route to Market.

This is a project aimed at rebalancing resources between the direct-delivery customers (to outlets in 20 provincial districts) and wholesalers (indirect delivery in the remaining provincial districts).

Wholesalers are classified according to their potential and abilities as good partners in business in the territory in which they operate, considering the specificities and peculiarities of the same. In this way, Coca-Cola HBC Italia can guarantee its customers a sustainable economic return over time and improve their ability to implement the strategy at the point of sale.

In 2015, the project Route to Market therefore included specific trade policies for the Wholesalers channel, with specific marketing plans and investments, aiming

In 2015, the Modern Trade channel showed a sales volume in line with previous years. The Wholesalers & TPV channel was up by 1.8% in 2015, which is evidence of the sales volumes flowing from direct distribution to the wholesalers channel. A corresponding decrease in the weight of the channel can be noticed in Normal Trade (-1.8%) in terms of sales volume, in favor of the Wholesalers channel.

In 2015, there was a slight increase in the weight of the Modern Trade channel in terms of sales volume, as a result of the introduction of the brand Lilia with new customers (up 1% altogether). Moreover, the same phenomenon highlighted for the sale of beverages, namely the transition of sales volumes from direct distribution to the Wholesalers channel (+ 4%) can be witnessed here, too.

Beverage sales per customer show a positive result (+ 6%) in Modern Trade and + 3% in Wholesalers & TPV, balanced by -9% in Normal Trade: the percentage of customers, in terms of numerical distribution, in the Wholesalers and Vendor channel indeed increased as a result of the new strategy Route to Market (RTM), with a clear decrease in customers in the direct delivery channel in numerical terms.

The same phenomenon can be witnessed for sales of mineral waters, with a positive result of +3% both in Modern Trade and in Wholesalers & TPV, balanced by -6% in the Normal Trade channel.

Monitoring to assess customer satisfaction, with a view to continuous improvement, continued in 2015 with a Customer Satisfaction survey (with the support of GfK): Coca-Cola HBC Italia was found to be the second best supplier in terms of quality of service and transparency of contractual conditions, and the leading supplier in the value of customer relations for players in the mass retail market.

Moreover, the research “Advantage” had a similar nature and purpose. It showed a ranking in the top positions as a business partner of mass-retailers (third place).

The sales force of Coca-Cola HBC Italia dedicated to the channel was specially trained with dedicated courses. Sales volumes can be divided by output channel, which shows that 74% of total volumes were sold at mass retailer chains. However, the analysis of the numerical distribution, i.e. the number of outlets that distribute products, shows that the largest number of customers or outlets pertains to the out-of-home consumer channel (bars, restaurants and pizzerias), while mass retailer chains account for 15% of the entire customer base.

Coca-Cola HBC Italia requires suppliers to meet the conditions laid down in Legislative Decree No. 231/2001 and to adhere to the Code of Conduct in Business adopted by the Company. In the ongoing effort to develop and strengthen relations with suppliers, Coca-Cola HBC Italia has defined and adopted the Supplier Guiding Principles (SGPs), in line with the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company policy. These Guiding Principles are based on the belief that public spirit is essential to long-term business success and that the same should be reflected in relations developed in the market, workplaces, in the relationship with the environment and the community in general. Those working with Coca-Cola HBC Italia are aware of the need to conduct their business in a manner consistent with the Company’s values, which implement the highest standards of quality, integrity and excellence.

At the same time, Coca-Cola HBC Italia respects the peculiarities of the cultures of the communities in which it operates. In pursuing this policy, the company seeks to develop relations with suppliers who share the same values and conduct business in an ethical manner. All of the new suppliers are therefore monitored based on the Supplier Guiding Principles, which provide for respect of human rights, the environment, social customs, and labor laws. In 2015, more than 85% of the listed suppliers had subscribed to the Supplier Guiding Principles of Coca-Cola HBC Italia. Also in 2015, the invitation to subscribe and adherence to the SGPs was extended to new suppliers, which, to date, are 64.8% of new entrants.

Out of 197 suppliers that were found to be “key suppliers” in 2015, 32 were suppliers of raw materials, 94 suppliers of transport, 56 suppliers for marketing and other services.

In order to increase adherence by the new suppliers to SGPs, Coca-Cola HBC Italia is undertaking targeted awareness-raising actions on all suppliers that to date have not yet subscribed them. The objective for 2016 is to have 100% of “addressable suppliers” covered by SGPs, i.e. all suppliers actually managed by the Procurement department, for example, excluding small suppliers, consortia and industry associations.

the NeW SUPPLY ChaIN

After implementation of the project PLATO - the reorganization of Procurement and Integrated Planning Organization, adopted by Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company in 2014, for the management of direct and indirect purchases of goods and services - the Group launched another important change process through a key initiative for business: the Integrated Competitive Supply Chain (ICSC). The ICSC requires the transition to a vertical and international organization of the Supply Chain: for Italy, which is part of the so-called “Region 1”, this means to work in line with Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Switzerland. The new model, in particular, requires the transition from a local organization of the Supply Chain to a vertical structure, also for the production and

in 2015, suppliers based in italy were 819, accounting for 87.7% of the total.

The total expenditure for purchases by Coca-Cola HBC Italia in 2015 was equal to a value of € 398,556,000; the expenditure incurred by Fonti del Vulture was instead € 21,106,000. Ingredients and packaging materials in direct contact with the beverages (primary packaging) are subjected to a thorough evaluation from the point of view of environmental impact and consumer

safety before entering the production process.

The suppliers of raw materials based in Italy were 62, accounting for 59% of the total in this category and 7.5% on the total of Coca-Cola HBC Italia.

logistics teams. The benefits of this organizational model will be to ensure that the strengths of a country are shared and made available to the Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company. The ICSC will help to accelerate growth overall and to be competitive on the market thanks to greater efficiency in the use of the lines, out-of-stock reduction and increased flexibility to quickly respond to customer needs and consumer trends.

In particular, manufacturers undergo an audit process directly by The Coca-Cola Company

in accordance with very strict parameters. Coca-Cola HBC Italia also performs a testing protocol within its plants on such materials in order to assess their quality performance before authorizing any use; all manufacturers

must provide appropriate documentation of compliance with all applicable laws (national

and Community laws): the company will proceed to approve the use of raw materials only against

this compliance. Among suppliers, the incidence should be considered of those referred to as “strategic”, i.e. suppliers of critical materials for the production process (e.g. primary packaging and ingredients), transportation providers and service providers who perform their work at the corporate premises (under tender contracts).

The main ingredients used in the production cycle are concentrate (which also contains flavorings), sugar and concentrated fruit juices (for fruit-based beverages), which conveniently mixed with water and carbon dioxide will become the finished products that are bottled in PET, glass bottles, cans, bag in box or drums. Sugar thus represents one of the most important ingredients for production, and is mainly purchased from suppliers based in Italy, while the portion produced in our Country accounts for 16%of the total.

enViRonMent

The environmental management policy, integrated with Quality and Safety, was revised during 2015 in order to ensure the full integration of the latest environmental regulations and revisions to international standards of reference, in addition to taking into account the Company’s considerable growth.

Fully consistent with the commitment to take action to mitigate its environmental impact, formalized in an increasingly firm path of responsibility, in 2015 Coca-Cola HBC Italia set up the position of environmental manager within the HS&E department (Health, Safety & Environment) to ensure a complete focus on environmental issues, guaranteeing the effective management of its operations aimed at fostering innovation, risk reduction and safety of its processes and products.

Moreover, a measurement model of the socio-economic and environmental impact on sustainability of investments was prepared in 2015 (pending approval for entry into force in 2016), to be used during tender processes in order to raise awareness among suppliers on sustainability issues.

With the goal of increasing the efficiency of the environmental performance of the company’s production activities, the performance indicators can be read and compared in terms of inputs (energy consumption, water, materials), and in terms of environmental outputs (emissions and waste) that the plants of Coca-Cola HBC Italia produce both per liter of beverage under The Coca-Cola Company brand and per liter of mineral water. This analysis allows the Company to identify any significant deviations that are studied in greater depth and followed by dedicated corrective actions. The Company has developed a plan to reduce CO2 emissions per liter of beverage by over 25% by 2020, compared to the 2014 values, and the use of water per liter of beverage by 18% compared to the figure for the same year. It should be noted that in 2015, compared with a 1.7% increase in the production of soft drinks compared to 2014, in reference to the production of drinks under the brand The

Water MaNaGeMeNt

Water is the primary ingredient for the production process of coca-cola hbc italia and a necessary source for production activities. Coca-Cola HBC Italia is aware of the importance of the responsible use of water resources and has undertaken to limit its impact on river basins respecting the communities in which it operates. To that end, the company collaborates with suppliers and involves local communities to raise awareness as to the protection of water resources.

The Company has set up an improvement plan on the use of water for the five-year period 2016-2020, introducing a new approach to valuation of the environmental impact, which estimates the real cost of water (including treatment, maintenance, etc.) in the estimation of investments.

reSourCemanagement

the sustainable management from the environmental standpoint of its business activities translates for Coca-Cola hbC italia into concrete targets aimed at protecting the most frequently used resources: ensuring the water resources by reducing withdrawals and wastewater treatment, and limiting energy consumption and emissions of refrigerants.

The efforts made in recent years have led coca-cola hbc italia to values of excellence with regard to water consumption. During 2015 the company withdrew 2,814,969 cubic meters of water, which includes 5% (equivalent to 103,545 cubic meters of water) of recycled water at the three soft drink manufacturing plants, i.e. recycled water is water from a production process that is reused in another cycle before being sent to final treatment and/or discharged into the environment.

The performance indicator of water consumption in 2015 was equal to 1.84 liters per liter of beverage produced under The Coca-Cola Company brand and 1.56 liters per liter of mineral water produced. The latter value however stood at 2.07 liters per liter of mineral water produced if one also considers water not used, that is to say water extracted solely for purposes of quality monitoring of the microbiological parameters and subsequently returned to the aquifer without undergoing any treatment.

This success confirms a commitment to improving and reducing the use of water as a result of the process optimization measures introduced.

In 2015, water discharges linked to production activities of Coca-Cola HBC Italia amounted to 1,011,826 cubic meters, including 80% caused by the soft drink manufacturing plants. In line with the commitment made in 2014, in June 2015 a specific action was initiated at the plant in Nogara in order to reuse 14,400 cubic meters of process water (80 cubic meters / day of wastewater) for washing dehydrators from sludge, thereby reducing the overall consumptionof water.

eNerGY MaNaGeMeNt

Coca-Cola HBC Italia has entered into a commitment to minimize energy consumption and the total impact of its emissions. The fight against climate change results in an open dialogue with suppliers in order to minimize CO2 emissions of the entire production chain, from production of raw materialsto management of cooling equipment on the market.

As a result of the strong commitment to development and implementation of renewable energy sources and the like, photovoltaic systems were introduced at the plants in Nogara, Oricola and Marcianise. Moreover, the choice of the industrial cogeneration service at the three soft drink manufacturing plants (the opening of the first cogeneration plant in Marcianise is expected in June 2016), resulted in the reduction of the supply costs and emissions into the atmosphere, increasing energy efficiency and saving primary energy. Water supplies in 2015 were ensured by withdrawing 94% of the groundwater from wells and 6% from municipal aqueducts.

USe oF raW MaterIaLS

Coca-Cola HBC Italia controls its processes to constantly monitor the use of raw and auxiliary materials in detail within each production facility.

As a result of the increase in production volumes, in 2015 the amount of raw materials used for the production of beverages under The Coca-Cola Company brand and for the bottling of mineral water grew slightly compared to 2014.

In 2015, food grade CO2 produced by recycling processes at the plant in Nogara amounted to 9,667 tons (i.e. 100% of CO2 used at the site).

This is why the company works to improve five areas of action:

reducing and optimizing the weight and volume of packaging;

optimizing pallets;

Using, ecycled materials, where technically possible, for its packaging and recyclable beverage containers;

encouraging consumers to properly dispose of the packs after consumption of its products, raising awareness as to the separate collection of packaging materials and advising against the practice of leaving behind litter;

Supporting fair initiatives and stimulating innovative packaging solutions in a closed cycle.

Coca-Cola HBC Italia used about 80,000 tons of various materials for product packaging in 2015.

continuing to increase the recycled content of beverage packaging is a goal for coca-cola hbc italia; in fact, in 2015 it used 55% of aluminum and 15% of glass for the production of beverages under The Coca-Cola Company brand and 31% (1,977,019 kg) of bio PeT for the production of mineral water.

In a context where the issue of waste and its disposal tends to become more and more critical, attention to how packaging is designed, manufactured and handled after being used has a significant impact both on the Company, which must balance food security, marketing and economic needs, and on the environment.

Conaiaward

in 2015, Fonti del Vulture was among the winners of the “Conai award on prevention - enhancing the environmental sustainability of packaging”, which rewards the most innovative and environmentally-friendly packaging solutions. the award was given to three projects for the light-weighting of packaging, which led to a reduced use of pet plastic bottles. in particular, these actions involved the pet bottleneck area and the high density polyethylene (hdpe) cap resulting in the following percentage reductions in the weight of the bottle: 6% for the 2-liter plantbottle of lilia mineral water; 18% for the 0.5-liter bottle of Sveva mineral water and 7% for the 1.5-liter bottle of toka mineral water. the award ceremony was held at the triennale di Milano on december 1 in collaboration with Corriere della Sera, which was followed by a communication campaign in regard of the winners promoted in the insert of Corriere della Sera, “Corriere innovazione”.

plantbottle:thepetplasticbottle,upto30%ofvegetableorigin

an example of innovative packaging was provided by the Coca-Cola Company and used for the first time by Fonti del Vulture in italy in 2014: the plantbottle, whose use continued in 2015 for 1.5-liter lilia bottles. the extraordinary revolution of the fully recyclable pet plastic bottle, made up of a combination of traditional materials and a percentage of up to 30% of organic origin, consists in the plastic material from vegetable sources that, unlike the existing ones, can be processed in the recycling installations for traditional pet. the material of the new bottles enables a considerable reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and is fully responsive to the waste reduction, reuse and recycling policy.

Another indicator monitored by Coca-Cola HBC Italia is the production of solid waste, the management of which is crucial for sustainable development. The total in 2015 stood at 11,832 tons, and the amount of hazardous waste generated further decreased, from 42 to 34 tons.

In 2015, nearly all of the waste produced (over 99%) was classified as non hazardous waste (this was, in particular,

Although Coca-Cola HBC Italia invests in waste recycling, in 2015 the percentage of recycled materials was 89.30% of the total output, a slight decrease compared to 2014. The delays in the renewal of the operating license by a recycler, certain compliance issues of the forms and the limited capacity of the plants at destination did not allow the Company to report a higher percentage of waste to be sent for recycling.

emiSSionS

Coca-Cola hbC italia is aware of the effects caused by greenhouse gas emissions and that an energy policy geared to the search for efficiency could mitigate them.

Co2 eMISSIoNS

A new approach to the subject is evidenced by the improvement targets set for 2016, in view of the Europe 2020 strategy, which provides for the use of cogeneration sources and renewable energy sources for corporate fleets. In fact, making refrigeration more sustainable, one of the largest sources of global carbon emissions due to the high global-warming potential of hydro fluorocarbons (hFCs), is the greatest commitment of Coca-Cola hBC Italia in this field.Significant investments were made during the course of 2015 to meet the commitment undertaken by Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company not to introduce equipment with hydro fluorocarbons on the market asfrom 1 January 2016. the purchase of new equipment without hydro fluorocarbons as Co2refrigerants, which avoid 99% of direct emissions, and hydrocarbon refrigerants (hC) is a first step to achieving that goal.Another area of action concerns the selection of suppliers and their awareness. The “Specifications for the provision of primary transport” is a document, an integral part of the contract of carriage, which each supplier has the obligation to respect. It includes the request to use vehicles that at least meet the EURO IV standard (a set of standards on emissions, which apply to new road vehicles sold in the European Union as of 2006, as part of the air pollution reduction policy). The company’s attention to this issue is also reflected in assessments instrumental to the selection of suppliers with regard to the energy sources used and energy consumption plans adopted.

For 2015, the value should not be referred to general carbon emissions, which take account both of scope 1 and scope 2 (direct and indirect emissions of greenhouse gases) in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. The latter, in fact, also includes the impacts of fleet management and the CO2 associated with the consumption of electric energy, while the figure reported here only refers to CO2 associated with the consumption of natural gas only at the bottling sites.

LoGIStICS eFFICIeNCY

Storage and distribution are an essential part of the activities of Coca-Cola HBC Italia: the efforts in the field of logistics innovation, optimization of distribution networks and routes are significant and long-lasting, while still guaranteeing high quality standards in product delivery to customers. The production and distribution network was redesigned in recent years to cope with the changes occurring in the target market, both in terms of the location of customers and for the purpose of following the sales department’s strategies. Investments were made in the distribution network with tangible benefits on the reduction of kilometers traveled by the means of transport. In recent years a reassessment of the supply base was undertaken to favor partners capable of offering the storage of products and delivery of orders by optimizing distances traveled and consolidating cargo. With a view to reducing its environmental impact, the Company also implemented a strategy favoring rail transport against road transport, particularly for mineral water due to the location of the production sites. During the course of 2015, the shipments handled by rail along intermodal routes were 1,902, covering a distance of 1,305,487 km from the beginningof the year, with a total savings of € 234,869.00 and 1,037,435 kilograms of Co2 avoided.

ZerowaStelogiStiCS

in 2015, Coca-Cola hbC italia earned the award “logistics of the year”, organized by assologistica and euromerci, thanks to the project “Zerowastelogistics”, in collaboration with Chep and Carrefour italia. this project is another example of the Company’s attention to sustainability of its logistics activities, involving the abandonment of the 80x60 disposable wooden pallets to adopt the pallet pooling solution offered by Chep italy, with the aim to reduce food waste, costs and environmental impact. Robust pallets are shipped to the outlets without handling along thesupplychain:this“one-touch”solutionenabledCoca-ColahbCitaliatodecreasethedamagetotheproductby65%andby83%withreferencetocansalone. Moreover, the 80x60 pallets allow a better visibility of the product at the point of sale thereby improving rotations and reducing the likelihood that products may expire.

the Chep solution is sustainable from the outset since the wooden pallet comes from managed forests and is certified by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and peFC (program for the endorsement of Forest Certification schemes). through the lCa model, “life Cycle assessment”, Chep has quantified the environmental benefits achieved by Coca-Cola hbC italia in 2015 by using rented pallets: 31%reductionofCo2emissionsequalto53tons;woodsavingsof93%,equalto364cubicmeters;92%lesswaste

attention to the territory and sustainability have always been the core values pursued by the Company in the communities in which it operates.

ProMotIoN oF aN aCtIVe LIFeStYLe

The promotion of an active lifestyle has always been a core value pursued by Coca-Cola HBC Italia in the communities in which it operates through numerous initiatives during 2015 that involved more than 2.3 million people, over 580,000 of which did some physical exercise. The company was a partner to 81 sporting events, competitive or otherwise, up 9% compared to 2014. Even during non-sporting events the company offered the possibility to do physical exercise by setting up the Coca-Cola Sports Village, , itinerant facilities devoted to sports and fun, open to the public. There were many sports to be played there: volleyball, foosball, badminton, table tennis, human foosball, basketball, exercise bikes, rowing but also zumba workout, physical exercises and postural training. In 2015, the “Village” facilities were in particular set up on the occasion of three events attracting large audiences, such as the Giffoni experience, the Friendship Meeting in rimini and the preview of the Festa del torrone (nougat feast) in Cremona, which collectively involved more than 1,100,000 visitors. A number of shopping malls of two major retailing brands, auchan and Carrefour, where the “Village” facilities were set up for the first time in 2015 should also be added.

Giffoni experience

For the seventh consecutive year, Coca-Cola HBC Italia was a Giffoni Experience partner, the most important film festival for young people of Italy, now in its 45th edition, which was held between 17 and 26 July in Giffoni Valle Piana, in the Provincial District of Salerno. There were 16,000 people involved in the sports activities at the Coca-Cola Sports Village and 236,000 total admissions were recorded during the event. The “Coke Day”, a day fully dedicated to Coca-Cola, took place on the Festival’s opening day. It ended with a flash mob that involved over 3,000 young jury members.

The presence of Coca-Cola HBC Italia at the Giffoni Experience was also accompanied by a commercial venture with Conad, also a partner of the event for young people, through a promotional campaign in 31 stores in the Provincial District of Salerno.

Friendship Meeting in rimini

For the tenth year, Coca-Cola HBC Italia was a partner to the Friendship Meeting in Rimini, which was held on 20-26 August 2015 and is recognized internationally as the most important cultural religious event on Italian territory. In 2015, it had 800,000 visitors and 25,000 of them did physical exercise while having fun at the Coca-Cola Sports Village.

Preview of the Festa del torrone

For the third consecutive year, Coca-Cola HBC Italia also renewed its partnership with the Festa del Torrone, involving more than 8,000 of the 70,000 people who visited the preview event in Cremona on October 24 and 25.

Shopping Malls

Two large retailing customers, Carrefour and Auchan, were involved at 10 shopping malls in five Italian regions during four weekends, offering customers of the two brands an opportunity to do physical exercise. Various adaptable modules of the Coca-Cola Sports Village were designed in order to offer the possibility to try 13 different sports disciplines, which involved more than 103,000 participants in total. Moreover, as of December 2015, at the Carrefour shopping mall in Carugate Milanese, in the Provincial District of Milan, the space “Il movimento è felicità” (Movement is Bliss) was opened, a space dedicated to the promotion of physical exercise, which will remain operational throughout 2016 and will witness a succession of different sports activities. The first experience was cycling and therefore a bicycle was the protagonist of the event. The events described above were followed by initiatives of Coca-Cola HBC Italia addressed to its customers. More than 10,500 people were in fact involved in recreational and sports activities on several occasions, including the conference “L'Inkontro Nielsen”, dedicated to large retailing customers, which represented a moment of reflection on the economic situation and the evolution of the consumers' behavior.

Other initiatives to promote an active lifestyle were held with the support of Coca-Cola HBC Italia Foundation in partnership with non-profit organizations.

The analysis shows that in 2014 Coca-Cola distributed resources amounting to € 481 million, the largest share of which went to enterprises, i.e. 76%. The figures change when one considers the resources generated by taxes on products, a total value of € 815 million (representing 0.05% of national GDP):

45% of reSourceS WeNT To eNTerPriSeS

aNoTher 45% To The STaTe

The remaiNiNg 10% To houSehoLdS

If the direct impact on employment generated by Coca-Cola with its plants located in Italy is added to the indirect impact on employment, about 26,000 jobs (equivalent to 0.1% of the total workforce nationwide) were concerned in 2014.

In practice, 13 indirect jobs should be added to every direct job within the Italian economy. The number of people who, in partly or in whole, depend on labor income generated by Coca-Cola in Italy is therefore approximately 70,000 people. The research highlights that, in the hypothetical scenario in which Coca-Cola Italy was no longer to operate in the Country, the national economy would face a loss of resources amounting to € 481 million, representing 0.01% of total resources generated in Italy, and an increase of 0.29% in the unemployment rate.

The results of the research thus show that Coca-Cola actively participates in the development of the country, significantly contributing to the creation of added value and jobs for the benefit of the national economy.

Coca-Cola hbC italia Foundation was born out of the will of the Company to implement and support projects which in themselves constitute a complement to the corporate activities of Coca-Cola hbC italia.

SUPPort For the ItaLIaN red CroSS aNd SPeCIaL oLYMPICS ItaLY

In 2015, thanks to the partnership between Coca-Cola HBC Italia and Autogrill, Coca-Cola HBC Italia Foundation for the third consecutive year supported the Italian red Cross with the initiative “Menù Perfetto -Christmas Edition” (Perfect menu - Christmas edition), to promote sports among kids of underprivileged families. From 30 November 2015 to 10 January 2016, the association was given a portion of the proceeds arising from the purchase of “Perfect Menus” and “Super Menus” being respectively sold in over 400 Acafé cafés and snack bars across the Country and in about 50 Spizzico cafés in the Travel & City channel (cities, shopping malls, stations and airports). The new smartphone application “Red Break”, which creates and sends free Coca-Cola Christmas greeting e-cards, was launched in 2015. By purchasing a “Perfect Menu” or “Super Menu”, consumers had the opportunity to customize their greeting cards with their own photos and dedications by using the code on the receipt. The app also allowed customers to make a donation to the Italian Red Cross using the appropriate banner. The employees of Coca-Cola HBC Italia actively supported the partnership: Christmas fairs were organized in all Company branches and offices, where funds were collected to be donated to the Red Cross through the sale of exclusive Coca-Cola branded gadgets. Coca-Cola HBC Italia Foundation, for the eleventh consecutive year, renewed its support for Special olympics Italia, the international training and athletic competition program for people with intellectual disabilities. Together with UCI Cinemas, the fundraising campaign “Su tutte le piste... per un unico traguardo” (On all the tracks ... for one goal) raised awareness for the issue of social inclusion of persons with disabilities. For each of the “Maxi Menu Double” and “Large Menu” purchased at one of the 46 cinema theaters of the UCI Cinemas circuit throughout Italy, part of the proceeds was donated to Special Olympics Italia to contribute to the organizational expenses of the National Winter and Summer Games 2016 , important gatherings for athletes, their families, volunteers and the public. Several employees of Coca-Cola HBC Italia carried out voluntary work for a day during the three stages of the 2015 National Summer Games of Special Olympics Italia, helping to spread knowledge about intellectual disability and educate younger people to the understanding and appreciation of diversity in all its manifestations.

In support of initiatives to protect and respect the environment and the territory, the Company promoted the educational project “Fabbriche Aperte” (Open Factories), which, in its third year in 2015, reached 2.8 million people. The initiative aims to raise the awareness of students on the importance of recycling, reuse of waste materials and proper management of resources. 4,500 students were hosted at the plants in Nogara, oricola, Marcianise and rionero in Vulture, where they had the opportunity to discover the innovative technology of the production lines and the commitment of Coca-Cola HBC Italia to reducing its environmental impact, and they could participate in fun educational workshops on the topics proposed by the project “Open Factories”.

Moreover, about 2,000 schools received educational kits produced under the patronage of CoNaI, containing useful information about the importance of recycling, creative reuse of waste materials and protection of our planet’s resources. The 2015 edition saw the introduction of an educational test, “Noi ricicliamo così” (We recycle like this), which involved about 700 classrooms around the country and collected more than 1,500 compositions. The young students in elementary school (fourth and fifth grade) and secondary school, junior and high school, were called upon to free their imagination, craftsmanship and technical skills in order to submit their original proposals for the creative recycling of waste thereby providing a testimony to their environmental commitment. The three winning schools in the educational tests, one for each school level, were awarded a grant for the purchase of teaching material.
