CSR Profile of Coca-Cola Enterprises

Coca-Cola Enterprises is the world's largest marketer, producer and distributor of Coca-Cola products. We operate in 46 U.S. states and Canada, and are the exclusive Coca-Cola bottler for all of Belgium, continental France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Monaco and the Netherlands. Our sales represent 16 percent of The Coca-Cola Company's worldwide volume. Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CRS) is a pillar of our business strategy and an integral part of ensuring our success. This year we stepped up our commitment to CRS, developing a set of goals and targets in our five strategic focus areas (those areas in which we can make the greatest environmental and social contributions) to achieve by the year 2020 - what we are calling "Commitment 2020". CCE's Commitment 2020 goals are: * Energy Conservation/Climate Change: Reduce the overall carbon footprint of our business operations by 15 percent by 2020, as compared to our 2007 baseline. * Water Stewardship: Establish a water-sustainable operation in which we minimize our water use and have a water-neutral impact on the local communities in which we operate, by safely returning the amount of water equivalent to what we use in our beverages and their production to these local communities. * Sustainable Packaging/Recycling: Reduce the impact of our packaging; maximize our use of renewable, reusable, and recyclable resources; and recover the equivalent of 100 percent of our packaging. * Product Portfolio/Well-Being: Provide refreshing beverages for every lifestyle and occasion, while helping consumers make informed beverage choices. * Diverse and Inclusive Culture: Create a culture where diversity is valued, every employee is a respected member of the team, and our workforce is a reflection of the communities in which we operate.
