2019/20

When we imagine an interconnected world, our reflexes conjure up images of deep


digital networks, globalization, and people transcending international borders.
However, our world is connected in a lot of other ways than we usually imagine.
This interdependence should always be explored and leveraged for a better and
connected world.

Even as I share my thoughts for this edition of our sustainability report, I reiterate
our raison d’être. To refresh the world and make a difference. This includes our
beverages and work that we do to preserve the synergistic interconnectedness of
our communities and activities.

T. Krishnakumar, Starting 2010, our sustainability reporting journey has come a long way. We had

Unit, The Coca-Coca Company
other stakeholders who have helped us chart our course by doing what is needed
to serve them better. Their voices continue to resonate with our strategy and
ensure that we adopt the right approach.

Equally important for us have been the United Nation’s Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) that have provided a rubric for a better world to us. We have been
setting clear and measurable targets against these comprehensive goals and
measuring our progress against the targets. Our efforts over the last year along
with key highlights from 2020, have been shared in this Sustainability Report for
2019/20.

We had some significant developments across design, collect and partner towards
our World Without Waste commitment. In various areas, be it envisioning
new dispensing formats or testing more efficient sustainable designs, we are
reimagining ways in which we can conveniently serve safe and refreshing
beverages to our consumers.

While we play to our strengths, we do not want to be weighed down by our


limitations and are constantly innovating ahead of the curve. That is why we
partner with communities, governments, municipalities, nonprofits and other
experts in the green space of waste management and recycling. We have been
energized by the outcome so far and will continue to collaborate towards a clean
India (Swachh Bharat Abhiyan).

In 2019, we also joined forces with other industry stakeholders to launch “Karo
Sambhav,” a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO), which is putting into
effect a futuristic community-led approach and solutions for salvaging everything
recyclable including plastics.

Our endeavor to source sustainably via Fruit Circular Economy initiative, bore
more fruits. Buoyed by the positive response of Unnati Mango, Orange and Apple
that have benefitted over one lakh farmers thus far, we diversified into newer
Unnati projects with Litchi and Grapes, with the aim of multiplying fruit productivity
and earning potential of over 80,000 farmers.

Water is a key constituent of our beverages and industry, therefore integral to


our sustainability efforts. Process improvements for water optimization in our

operations have yielded promising dividends in the form of improved Water


Use Ratio (WUR). We were able to bring WUR down from 2.89 liters of water
used per liter of beverage in 2009 to 1.74 liters used in 2019.

We have also been able to create a combined water replenishment


potential of 25.1 billion liters through our bottling system and Coca-Cola India
Foundation (CCIF/Anandana). Last year, through CCIF, we established clean
drinking water units in five villages, community drinking water centers in eight
cities, and built hygienic sanitary facilities and water tanks at primary schools
in Chennai.

In 2019, we entered new beverage categories and launched several


innovative variants of our popular brands. We expanded the range of
refreshing fruit-based Minute Maid juices with 100% natural juices made from
locally-sourced fruits and introduced new variants such as Colour and Apple
Sparkle.

We also launched Juicy-plus versions of many of our popular sparkling drinks.


Powerade, our global sports hydration drink, was made available for our
consumers in India. We continued to offer a range of nutritious beverages in
2020 under the master brand Minute Maid with Nutriforce and Vita Punch
being the latest additions.

This year, COVID-19 has tested our strength and resilience as human race and
despite physical distancing measures has brought us all together socially.
We hope that our System contribution of INR 100 crores towards immediate
food and beverage support of distressed communities as well as health
infrastructure enhancement in the country through Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) and hygiene essentials provisioning will bring some relief to
our compatriots and communities.

There is absolutely no room for complacency even after a decade full of


impressive feats. We are acutely aware of our role and responsibility towards
social, economic and environmental causes and will stop at almost nothing.
As we look ahead into the next decade, we will continue to focus on building
a better shared future and shining “Ummeedon wali dhoop, sunshine wali
asha” (radiance of aspirations, sunshine of hope) whenever, wherever and
however we can.

We will keep trusting the tenacity of the human spirit and will continue to
nurture existing partnerships and build new collaborations. Our stretch-goals
are dynamic, and we will continue to modify/amplify them with the changing
needs of our communities and environment.

I trust that our efforts and their tangible results outlined in this Sustainability
Update 2019/20 will inspire many more of us to rally for a sustainable world
and co-create a better, shared future.

I would like to thank each and every one of you for taking the time out to
go through the report and for your contribution in shaping our sustainability
vision.

WORLD
WITHOUT WASTE
RECYCLING AND BEYOND

Packaging waste is a complex challenge for


our environment and our economy. For us, safe
and hygienic packaging is critical to ensure we
are delivering the best to our consumers while
maintaining the highest quality standards.
It helps eliminate food wastage, maintains
freshness of our products and adds to the
consumer experience by offering convenience,
product availability and affordability. But at
the same time, the world is grappling with the
problem of proper waste management and
recycling. We have set ambitious goals for our
business to take responsibility for our packaging
across its lifecycle and reduce plastic waste in
the environment and oceans.

We believe that while beverage and food


containers remain an integral aspect of modern
life, they do not have to end up as waste. We
want each of our packages to have more than
one life by making sure they are collected and
recycled effectively.

Launched in 2018, World Without Waste is our


global initiative through which we are radically
rethinking how our bottles are designed, how
they are recycled and repurposed, and even
how we get our products to consumers in the
first place.

Collect

With a target to collect and help recycle equivalent of 100% of our production in packaging, we are
developing models that address local challenges in packaging reuse and recycling. Working with
multi-stakeholder collaborations, we seek to drive, create and accelerate collection and recycling of
our packaging and effectively keeping it out of the environment.

Creating a plastic circular economy

We want to turn plastic waste into wealth, bringing the dream of a litter-free country closer.
The Coca-Cola System in India, along with partners is working to develop sustainable, community-
led programmes for integrated plastic waste management and promote efficient recycling in India.
Through our various initiatives, we seek to create awareness about segregation of waste at source,
streamline collection mechanisms and help build infrastructure to recycle post-consumer packaging
into value-added products. These initiatives will also create better livelihoods and provide better
social security for the marginalized waste workers in the existing largely informal economy.

FRUIT CIRCULAR
ECONOMY
PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE
AGRICULTURE

Consumers throughout the world are


increasingly becoming conscious of the social
accountability of foods and beverages they
consume. Over the past years, Coca-Cola India
has built significant inroads into the farming
community with its focus on good agricultural
practices that provide forward linkages to the
Indian farmers. Fruit Circular Economy (FCE)
is a step towards addressing the issues of low
farm productivity, poor technology adoption
and fruit wastage by harnessing the higher
productivity potential of fruits—both at farm as
well as processing level. Our efforts are focused
on improving the overall fruit availability,
increasing farming efficiency as well as building
food processing capacity in the country, thereby
helping farmers increase their income.

Once harvested, the farmers’ produce can


either go into the market or could go further for
processing, where many value-added products
can be created for local and global consumption.
Fruit processing not only creates a buffer
between low and high productivity seasons
but also stabilizes fruit prices during a bumper
season, thereby securing the interests of both
farmers as well as consumers.

16 www.coca-colaindia.com
INDIA SUSTAINABILITY UPDATE 2019/20
2020

The focus of Fruit Circular Economy starts with farm-level productivity improvement by teaching
farmers and creating a belief (using demo farms) in using ultra-high to high-density fruit plantation.

We took the first step towards creating a Fruit Circular Economy in India way back in 2011 with ‘Project
Unnati Mango’ in Andhra Pradesh. The success of Unnati Mango and ever encouraging response from
farmer partners motivated us to not only scale up the project to build capabilities of more and more
farmers but also diversify into other fruits with the launch of Unnati Orange and Apple in 2018 and most
recently with Unnati Litchi and Grapes in 2019. The project aims to benefit more than 2,00,000 fruit
farmers by 2022.

Under Project Unnati, the company and its partners handhold and train farmers to become better
entrepreneurs by deploying techniques such as ultra-high-density plantation, drip irrigation, good
agricultural practices and high-yielding cultivars to increase their fruit productivity and then take a decision
whether to sell the produce to processors or in the market for best return on their investments.

It also creates a positive impact across many other sustainability focus areas, including women’s
empowerment, community wellbeing and water stewardship.

WATER
STEWARDSHIP
PURSUING WATER SECURITY

Water is an indispensable part of our business.


It is also a shared natural resource. With an
alarming 81% decline in freshwater species
abundance since 19701, millions of people are
at risk from water scarcity and pollution and
companies are susceptible to economic losses
from looming water risks. Therefore, there
is a dire need for sustainable management
of water with an eye on the future. With
Sustainable Development Goal 6, the United
Nations also calls for ensuring ‘availability
and sustainable management of water and
sanitation for all’ by 2030.

Coca-Cola’s water stewardship journey began


as a forward-looking endeavor to build a
successful, resilient business that adds
value to the communities and restores the
ecosystems where we operate. We have now
worked for more than a decade to ensure
sustainable availability of water for our
business as well as our communities through
our water strategy which focuses on Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle and Replenish.

Maharashtra has battled drought for many years and as a


result of which the rivers have ebbed, water in dams and
reservoirs has depleted and over-exploitation of groundwater
has resulted in limited availability of water.

Anandana has partnered with Haritika to improve water


availability through run-off water harvesting measures. This
helps in increasing groundwater recharge in the watershed
area and improves access to water for agricultural and
domestic use. This results in higher agricultural productivity
and creating better employment opportunities for the local

Human and workplace rights

Respect for human and workplace rights is ingrained in our culture and guides our
interactions with suppliers, customers, consumers, employees and the communities we serve.

Our Human Rights Policy establishes the foundation for managing our business in accordance
with the highest standards and we strive to a workplace culture that makes each and every employee
feel safe, respected and free from any discrimination. We provide regular training to abide by the policy and
encourage reporting in case of any violation.

Our Supplier Guiding Principles (SGP) communicate our values and expectations from suppliers and emphasize
the importance of responsible workplace practices that respect human rights and comply, at a minimum, with
applicable environmental and local labour laws and core international conventions. The SGPs are a part of all
our contractual agreements with direct and authorized suppliers.

Employee health and safety

Our commitment to keeping our employees and partners safe and healthy is just as important to us as our
commitment to providing safe and highest-quality drinks for our consumers.

Our Coca-Cola Operating Requirements (KORE) define the policies, standards and requirements for managing
safety, environment and quality throughout our operations. Using the KORE framework, we implement health
and safety management systems across our manufacturing and distribution partners to improve employee
safety, reduce workplace risks and instil a mindset of continuous improvement to always to be better than
