What is Coca‑Cola's approach to water use and conservation?
We have operations nearly everywhere in the world—in more than 200 countries and territories. That means we have a responsibility to accelerate our efforts to help address water stress, protect local water resources and help build community climate resilience—communities’ ability to adapt to these changing conditions.
Since 2015, we have met or exceeded our goal to return more than 100% of the water used in our finished products globally, on an aggregate level, to nature and communities*.
Additionally, in 2024, we announced a new goal to reach 100% replenishment in each of more than 200 high-risk locations** across our system by 2035.

* With support from The Coca‑Cola Foundation, the company’s owned and independent bottling partners and independent suppliers and partners.
** Locations were identified following an extensive analysis updated in 2024 using the World Resources Institute Aqueduct 4.0 tool and Coca‑Cola system level assessments of each production facility. The Coca‑Cola system is made up of over 200 bottling partners and 950 production facilities. For the assessment of high-risk locations, the number of facilities evaluated was approximately 720 locations as it does not include third-party contracted manufacturers.
