We are taking action on sustainability by using our business and brands to build a better future. For people. For the planet.
We believe that business success and sustainability go hand in hand.
We want to grow our business in a way that manages our social and environmental impacts and contributes to a better future.
This is Forward.
This is Forward is our sustainability action plan. It sits at the heart of our long-term business strategy and sets out the actions we are taking on six key social and environmental topics, where we know we can make a significant difference and what our stakeholders want us to prioritise:
- Climate action
- Sustainable packaging
- Water stewardship
- The wellbeing of our people and those working across our value chain
- Consumer health and wellbeing
- Our contribution to our local communities
Our success is built on great people, great service and great beverages. We want to deliver sustainable growth, create value for all our stakeholders and build a better future for our business, our communities and the planet.
This is Forward is closely aligned with The Coca-Cola Company’s global sustainability ambitions. It includes our 2030 GHG emissions reduction target, which is approved by the Science Based Targets initiative as being in line with a 1.5°C reduction pathway and our commitments align with the targets which underpin the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This is Forward has now been extended to cover our markets in Europe, Australia, the Pacific and Indonesia. It is a unified action plan that we will work towards in 29 countries across the world, and includes ambitious, time-bound sustainability commitments.

We’re determined to make a positive difference both in our workplaces and in our local communities. Ensuring our people’s and our communities’ wellbeing and safety is our priority.
Supporting our communities has never been so important. We want to act as a force for good by supporting local community partnerships and focusing on its core strength to flourish and become an independent community.
We’re determined to make a positive difference both in our workplaces and in our local communities. Ensuring our people’s and our communities’ wellbeing and safety is our priority.
Our vision is to be an organization where everyone's welcome to be themselves, be valued and belong – including different thinking, experiences and backgrounds in all that we do. We are committed to building a diverse workforce and encouraging an inclusive culture. This covers all areas of diversity, including gender, culture and heritage, multi-generations and disability.
Water is an essential resource – both for our own business and across our value chain. We treat water with the care it deserves, aiming to reduce our water consumption on a continual basis and protect local water sources for future generations.
CCEP depends on a sustainable and high-quality supply of water. Not only is water the main ingredient in many of our products, but it’s also essential for our manufacturing processes, and for growing the agricultural ingredients we depend upon.
Action in Climate
The world is at a critical point and we must all play our part to cut Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C in line with the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement, and protect the future of our planet.
Our efforts in reducing green house gas emission lies on three important efforts: improving energy efficiency and shifting towards renewable energy.
Action on Supply Chain
Our supply chains are under increasing pressure from population growth, increased demand for food products and climate change. That’s why we’re sourcing all our agricultural ingredients and raw materials sustainably and responsibly.
To make our drinks, we depend on a sustainable supply of high-quality agricultural ingredients and raw materials. We need to ensure they are sourced sustainably. We rely on a global supply chain to make, sell and distribute our products. We’ve made a joint commitment with The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) to ensure that we sustainably source 100% of our priority agricultural ingredients and raw materials.
