Water initiatives at Coca Cola

Water Stewardship at Coca Cola: Protect, Reduce, Recycle & Replenish water used in the operations

Water Footprint: understand and manage water use across the supply chain

Water Footprint - components

Grey water: volume of water is required to dilute pollutants to such an extent that the quality of the water remains at or above agreed water quality standards

Green water: volume of rainwater evaporated during the production process

Blue water: volume of surface and groundwater consumed as a result of the production of a good or service

Sustainability assessments drive focus to impacts and action

6 countries/ 10 regions

50% of total European beet sugar use

Objective: To assess water

European topline results

Blue WFP

4 / 10 no quantity issues and low beet impacts

2 / 10 not confirmed due to lack of data, but unlikely to have major quantity issue or impacts

2 / 10 severe issues and/or severe share of beet growing

Grey WFP:

Widespread phosphor issues, but no direct link to beet

Widespread nitrate issues, but role of beet might be overstated

Business action

• Focus action on ‘hotspot’ areas identified:

• Engage suppliers

• Understand local realities

• Discuss practical water sustainability response plans

• Define areas of collaboration

• Leverage best practice:

• Share best practice within supply chain

• Leverage best practice across industry

• Support supplier-owned initiatives

Folie 19

Summing up…

• A good method to show where to act if you take a holistic approach to water protection: Identifying hot spots!

• Methodology requiring water quantity data on riverbasin level (might not be available)

• Young science requiring more reality-checks (e.g. nitrate leaching)

• Industry response on field-level required
