Replenishing the Water We Use

Goal: By 2020, safely return to communities and nature an amount of water equal to what we use in our finished beverages and their production. Progress: On track. We estimate to have balanced 94 percent (153.6 billion liters) of the water used in our finished beverages (based on 2014 sales volume). Based on this performance, we believe we will meet this goal by the end of 2015. In 2007, our system (the Company and our bottling partners) set an aspirational goal to safely return to communities

Improving Water Efficiency

Goal: By 2020, improve water efficiency in manufacturing operations by 25% compared with a 2010 baseline. Progress: In 2014, we improved our water efficiency 2%, for a total improvement of 10% since 2010. This progress builds on the 21.4% efficiency improvements achieved from our initial water efficiency goal from 2004 to 2012. Our systemwide water efficiency has improved for 12 straight years. When we started this journey in 2004, we were using 2.7 liters of water to make 1 liter of product. That

Mitigating Water Risk

It’s no secret that our bottling plants use water to make our beverages. And the water that we use is drawn from local water sources that we share with others because we make our beverages in the communities where we operate. So, in order to source that water responsibly and manage the risks for our business and communities, we need to have a clear understanding of where the water comes from, the availability of water supplies for a given community, current or future stress on the water supply,

Treating and Recycling Wastewater

Our water replenishment strategy is twofold: 1. Returning to nature and communities the water in our beverages through water projects outside our manufacturing plant boundaries, and 2. Returning the water we use to make our beverages back to a community after we've treated it. The manufacturing community calls the latter, wastewater. So, we refer to our processing, cleaning and returning that water back to communities and nature as our wastewater management program. The majority of the water
