COCA-COLA HBC RANKED THE WORLD’S MOST SUSTAINABLE BEVERAGE COMPANY

FOR THE SEVENTH TIME, COCA-COLA HBC HAS BEEN RANKED THE WORLD'S MOST SUSTAINABLE BEVERAGE COMPANY

For the seventh time, Coca-Cola HBC has been ranked the world's most sustainable beverage company by the 2023 Dow Jones Sustainability Index, one of the leading global benchmarks for corporate sustainability. This means that for the 13th consecutive year, Coca-Cola HBC, including Coca-Cola HBC Serbia, is among the top three companies on the list.

Thanks to its commitment to the fight against climate change and the protection of water resources, Coca-Cola HBC is also ranked as the industry leader in the CDP list (Carbon Disclosure Project measuring company's performance in the field of climate change), thus joining a few companies to score an A rating for both climate and water. CDP's annual environmental disclosure and scoring process is widely recognized as the gold standard of corporate environmental transparency. 

Zoran Bogdanović, CEO of Coca-Cola HBC, said on this occasion that this achievement is the result of a clear vision and goals in the field of sustainability, as well as of the company's firm belief that sustainability is a generator of growth and value for business.
