More about Climate
 

The implications of climate change for our planet are profound and wide-ranging. Across the Coca-Cola system we recognize that climate change may influence our business in the long term due to impacts on water resources, public health, agriculture, and much more.

We believe that our system has a role to play in climate protection and energy efficiency. Our climate protection and energy management strategy is: improving the energy efficiency within our manufacturing and distribution processes, using the best possible mix of energy sources, and improving the potential direct climate impacts of our operations. We refer to these three areas as "Reduce, Refuel and Refrigeration." In addition, we know that the manufacturing of packaging is another area where we have the opportunity to reduce our emissions.

Understanding our system's carbon footprint is essential for identifying ways to manage and, in my many cases, reduce our impact. This understanding helps us target areas for increased efficiency. It informs the choices our system makes in terms of the energy sources we use. And it focuses our innovation efforts to reduce our emissions across our system. We are even working toward understanding our full impact throughout our system's entire value chain.
