Partnerships and Public Policy

We are working in support of climate policy at global, national, industry, and local levels.

At an international level in 2009, we joined more than 950 companies from more than 60 countries in signing the Copenhagen Communiqué. This document is widely recognized as the definitive statement from the international business community to push for an equitable deal on Climate Change during the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.

At national levels, CCE has been part of important climate programs and landmark legislation. In the U.S., we are members of the Climate Leaders program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We also work closely with the ENERGY STAR program of the EPA and Department of Energy, helping to develop the next levels of certification for our sales and marketing equipment. In 2009, our Netherlands operations joined other members of the Dutch Soft Drink Association to save energy by signing a covenant with the Dutch government. Similar approaches have been taken in Great Britain with our participation in the Climate Change Agreement and in Belgium with our support of the Benchmarking Covenant on Energy Efficiency.

At an industry level, we are helping to shape methodologies for climate impact accounting and reporting. In 2009, we helped develop the Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER) Sector Guidance for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting. In Europe, we are working with the Carbon Trust in Great Britain and ADEME in France to develop a universally accepted European standard for calculating the carbon footprint of products across their lifecycles.

Our product carbon footprinting work has highlighted the greatest climate impacts in our value chain. We continue to work with business partners to address these impacts and have partnered with key suppliers in Europe to develop hybrid trucks, climate-friendly refrigeration, and resource-efficient packaging. We intend to continue to support the commercialization of new technologies, and, where commercially viable, we are working with our customers to introduce these technologies as appropriate. In 2010, we will focus more on our supply chain as a whole (see “Our Suppliers”).
