CCEP aims to reduce its water use ratio as far as possible, and in our legacy CCE territories, including Great Britain, we aim to reduce our water use ratio to 1.2 litres per litre of product produced. CCEP has put in place a program to assess and manage source water vulnerability and has implemented Source Water Protection Plans (SWPPs) for each of our production sites. These have been developed in conjunction with water providers, government agencies, and community organisations. Identifying water efficiency opportunities within our manufacturing plants and the investments we make in technologies to reduce water use allows us to mitigate potential risks and reduce input costs. In 2016, we invested €2.7 m in water efficiency technologies and processes to make our plants more water efficient. This capital investment provides an ongoing opportunity for CCEP to become more efficient in manufacturing, helps us to avoid water risk, and provides ongoing cost avoidance. Furthermore, our improvements in our water efficiency have reduced our exposure to potential limits on water supply in the future. Based upon a 1% limit on water supply in areas of water scarcity, these measures help to protect CCEP against impacts to our production that could have potential losses of €3 million or more. Supporting our commitment, we operate company-wide water monitoring. Targets are set annually and reduction options are identified, modelled and reviewed by senior management.
