Biodiversity
CCE facilities are located in developed industrial
and commercial centers near power supplies, roads
and as close to customers and consumers as possible.
We therefore believe that our operations have minimal
influence on biodiversity-rich areas.
To gain a more in-depth understanding of potential
impacts on such areas, The Coca-Cola Company is mapping
and analyzing the locations of all Coca-Cola plants
around the world using the World Wildlife Fund’s
map of the world’s 200 biodiversity hotspots.
CCE supports this initiative and will incorporate
the findings into future plans.
Compliance
We strive to comply with all environmental regulations
and laws wherever we operate. Unfortunately, despite
our best efforts, environmental accidents do happen.
In 2005, there were 27 incidents for which we paid
fines of US$139,000. We undertook a major compliance
review in Europe in 2005, and in North America we
are developing a compliance performance reporting
program.
 Partnering
with Our Supply Chain
CCE recognizes that our environmental influence includes
suppliers of raw materials. Under our Supplier Guiding
Principles program, suppliers are required to comply
with all applicable environmental laws and regulations.
As described earlier, we continue to work with suppliers
to achieve progress on a number of environmental challenges,
including developing climate-friendly refrigeration,
reducing raw materials used in packaging and increasing
recycled content. We are working with key suppliers
on broader environmental performance issues, to be
reported on next year.

Coca-Cola Enterprises is committed to
integrating responsible environmental
practices into our daily operations. In
our North American and European facilities
and communities, we work with our suppliers/vendors,
customers, consumers, community leaders
and employees to identify, manage and
minimize the environmental impact of our
activities, products and services. Our
three environmental priorities are water,
solid waste and packaging, and energy.
We strive to fulfill our environmental
commitment by implementing and maintaining
an Environmental Management System (EMS)
which enables us to:
> Continuously
review and enhance EMS as a means of improving
environmental performance
>Establish
objectives and targets to measure our
impact on the environment, focused on
pollution prevention and the efficient
use of natural resources, materials and
packaging, and energy
> Work
with our local communities and other businesses
and civic
organizations on environmental projects
and initiatives
> Use
packaging that may be reused, recycled
or recovered according to
their design

with applicable local environmental laws,
regulations and
other requirements
