Energy Use

"Coca-Cola is such a large producer that it will have a big impact on the environment. It needs to be seen to be taking a lead in reducing emissions so that it has minimal an impact as possible" MEDIA

We depend on energy to run our business. It enables us to operate our factories, power our offices and distribute our products. That said, we now know that the use of energy generated from traditional sources creates carbon emissions and contributes to climate change.

The UK Government has already set a stretching target for cutting carbon emissions a 20% reduction by 2010. The Climate Change Bill published in March 2007 goes further by proposing a 60% reduction by 2050. Businesses like ours have an important role to play in achieving this reduction and are responding accordingly.

Given the scale of our operations, we believe we should lead the way. We're therefore working to measure and reduce our energy use and emissions in a number of ways across our business.
