Environment

We recognise that we are operating in a world where many natural resources that our business relies on, such as fossil fuels and water, are limited.

Measuring and managing our environmental impact is not only important for the planet, it is essential for the financial sustainability of our supply chain and our business. We are committed to minimising our environmental impact across the full range of our operations, and we are working to extend environmental standards further through our supply chain.

We also see a need for establishing consistent, industry-wide approaches to measuring and reporting environmental impacts and are actively working with the Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable toward this end.

Our environmental policy (see below to view or download a copy) outlines our commitment to protect against the long-term critical depletion of natural resources and lasting damage to species, habitats, biodiversity and the climate.

To continuously drive improvement, we have established challenging environmental targets to improve against several key indicators by 2015, as compared to our baseline year 2007.

We are reaching these goals through vigorous programmes in our supply operations, however we are also increasingly engaging employees across our offices through our GREENIQ programme. GREENIQ enlists employees as environmental champions for their sites and then supports them through online networking, a news portal and awards programme.

For the latest information on our progress against these targets, as well as other environmental programmes please see our online Sustainability & Responsibility Report.
