Environment
We aim to minimize the impacts of our business on the natural environment. As part of doing so, we implement the internationally recognized environmental management system ISO 14001 and are working towards full certification across our business.
In Switzerland we achieved ISO 14001 in 2004 and have maintained it ever since.
Our environmental efforts are focused on the three areas where we have the greatest impact and can therefore make the most significant contribution. These are:
We set performance targets for each of these three areas and report our progress as part of a larger group in our annual Group CSR report.
Our bottling plants are also regularly audited against the environmental standards of The Coca-Cola Company.
As well as reducing our own impacts, we work with others to address broader sustainability issues. We work with government agencies, NGOs and others to support environmental conservation and education. In particular, we focus on protecting local watersheds and promoting recycling.
In 2011, Employees of Coca-Cola HBC Switzerland joined members of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Group across Europe in conducting wide-ranging environmental protection activities.
The event was part of a Europe-wide initiative called “Live Positively Week” launched by The Coca-Cola Company, in which employees focus on responsible environmental activities aimed at highlighting the importance of sustainable development in all communities. In Switzerland 40 employees from Coca-Cola Hellenic and The Coca-Cola Company worked together with the community Dietlikon and PUSCH.
