Introducing our business
Our business in Great Britain is made up of two separate companies with different roles. Together, these companies market, manufacture, sell and deliver our range of soft drinks.
- Coca-Cola Great Britain, part of the Coca-Cola Northwest Europe & Nordics business unit, and a wholly owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company
- Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd. which is part of Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc.
Together, these two companies form our business in Great Britain, which we call 'the Coca-Cola system'. They work closely together but play very different roles.
- Coca-Cola Great Britain markets and develops new and existing brands. Based in West London and employing 50 people, it manages 21 brands and around 100 products.
-
Coca-Cola Enterprises manufactures, sells and distributes 25 brands of soft drinks for both The Coca-Cola Company and other brand owners. It employs more than 4,500 people in Great Britain and has six manufacturing sites and numerous regional offices and operations depots across the country.
Best Green companies
In 2010 Coca-Cola achieved a place on the Sunday Times Best Green Companies list, which celebrates British businesses that are striving to improve their environmental performance. The assessment has a thorough methodology to measure environmental performance and surveys employees to find out how company standards and procedures operate within the organisation.
This was the first time that both Coca-Cola Enterprises and Coca-Cola Great Britain entered jointly into the Sunday Times process and was the only soft drinks company to make it on the list.
