Prioritizing 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. We 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.

Maximizing water conservation

Helping to Reduce 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.

Focusing on a reducing waste

Reducing emissions

We are taking action to help mitigate the impacts caused by climate change, so we set a target to reduce the company’s emissions in line with a 1.5°C trajectory by 2035, from a 2019 baseline3.

Reducing our carbon footprint

Supporting more 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.  

Focusing on agriculture

1Locations 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. For the assessment of high-risk locations, 96% of the Coca‑Cola system facilities were evaluated. Non-dedicated third-party contracted manufacturers were not considered due to partly short-term contracts and changes in contracts.

2The company will continue to comply with local regulations, including where higher percentages of recycled content are required.

3Excludes the company’s acquired businesses, such as BODYARMOR, CHI, Costa, doğadan, fairlife and innocent. The company expects to prepare these businesses for integration into its 1.5°C trajectory over time.
