Our Route to Sustainability

As part of the Coca-Cola system in Austria, we take responsibility for the people, the environment and the region in which we operate. Solidarity and equal opportunities within society as well as the responsible use of resources are not just lip service to us, but a lived corporate philosophy.

In order to meet the most important global challenges that affect our industry, our society and our planet, we focus our resources and invest in areas that are particularly important for the common good. This includes packaging and recycling, climate protection and energy as well as water and swell protection, but also health and nutrition as well as inclusion and diversity.

Especially in day-to-day business, it is not always easy for companies to not only record sustainability on paper, but also to implement measures in a targeted manner. We have therefore strategically approached these subject areas and defined concrete sustainability goals for us to follow.

Sustainability is embedded in the corporate strategy of the entire Coca-Cola HBC Group. The international targets defined by the Group are adapted to local needs and implemented by Coca-Cola HBC Austria.

Insights into Coca-Cola HBC Austria’s local sustainability initiatives:

• 100% of our electricity comes from renewable energy sources.
• All plastic bottles filled in Austria for the Austrian market are made from 100% recycled PET (rPET).
• 100% of our key ingredients are sourced from agricultural suppliers who meet our Sustainable Agriculture Guiding Principles.
• Since 2017, more than 28,200 young people have been supported through the “Junior Company” program, including 5,235 participants in 2025.

Mission Refresh

Mission Refresh is the next chapter of the Coca-Cola HBC Group’s sustainability strategy. It focuses on four key priority areas — Climate, Water, Biodiversity, and Communities — supported by clear, measurable targets that help keep us on track and drive meaningful progress.

Mission 2025

Mission Refresh builds on the strong progress we have achieved as a Group through our previous sustainability strategy, Mission 2025, as well as on the valuable lessons we have learned along the way.

By the end of 2025, the Coca-Cola HBC Group had either achieved or made significant progress toward the majority of its Mission 2025 targets. Of the 18 targets set, nine were achieved ahead of schedule and seven were exceeded.
