As part of CCEP’s This is Forward Sustainability Action Plan, we have a target to replenish 100% of the water used in our beverages, where it is sourced from areas of water stress, by 2020. In Spain, our SVAs have shown that we operate in areas of water stress in 10 sites across our manufacturing operations. As a result, we have partnered with The Coca-Cola Foundation, to support 8 water replenishment programmes. These programmes work together with partners such as WWF-Spain, Ecodes, SEO/Birdlife, Accionatura and Jaume I University. One of our most recent partnerships is with the University of Malaga to protect biodiversity and recover wetlands around the mouth of the Guadalhorce River near Malaga. The area is particularly vulnerable to salinisation from the sea and tourism and industry impacts.

Project Results

In 2017 we replenished a total of 2,439,350 m3 of water through these eight projects, equal to 94% of our production volume where sourced from areas of water stress in Spain.
