2020 BUSINESS & ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT

This report is a reflection of how, together with our bottling partners, we navigated the COVID-19 crisis as a global business while advancing our environmental, social and governance (ESG) priorities. Having passed several of our 2020 milestone ESG goals, we are working toward new plans, including our 2025 packaging goals, 2030 climate goal, new 2030 water strategy and streamlining our global beverage portfolio – all of which are detailed in the report. 

Increasing water security for our business, communities and nature.

“Today, when I reflect on 2020, one of the words that comes to mind is resilience. Our people and our business were resilient in the face of extraordinary challenges. Our people quickly adapted to new conditions to support our communities and our business. We also showed great resolve in continuing to pursue goals that did not change—all guided by the purpose of our company: to refresh the world and make a difference.”
