Sustainability Pillars
water replenishment
Since 2015, we have returned more than 100% of the water used in our finished products globally, on an aggregate level, to nature and communities. Moving forward, we will also seek to return 100% of the total water used in each of our more than 200 high-risk locations1 across the Coca‑Cola system by 2035.
Packaging Waste
We’re focused on measurable and interconnected actions under two pillars: Design and Partner to Collect. We aim to use 35% to 40% recycled material2 in our primary packaging, including increasing recycled plastic use to 30% to 35% globally by 2035, and we aim to help ensure the collection of 70% to 75% of the equivalent number of bottles and cans we introduce into the market annually by 2035.
emissions
We are taking action to help mitigate the impacts caused by climate change, so we set a target to reduce our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions in line with a 1.5°C trajectory by 2035, from a 2019 baseline.
sustainable agriculture
The quality and integrity of our products depends on a sustainable supply chain with successful, thriving farming communities and ecosystems. Supporting initiatives in agriculture creates a nexus for solutions on interrelated issues, including water security, climate resilience and emissions reduction. We work with our suppliers and partners to help create systemic change in our agricultural supply chain.
