Coca-Cola HBC, a provider of non-alcoholic beverages, has published a sustainable development report (PDF, Report Website) on its activities in all 28 countries in which it operates.

The report covers the four key areas of responsibility as identified by the company: the Marketplace, the Workplace, the Environment, and the Community.

The company says that in assessing its own carbon footprint, the company undertook a number of measures to reduce – and eventually eliminate – the impact of harmful emissions.

In 2006, the company reports that:

ISO 14001 was achieved in 59 plants, 81 percent of volume produced,
Water efficiency improved eight percent,
Energy efficiency improved six percent,
Solid waste ratio reduced by 11 percent, and
Waste recycling increased by 10 percent.
