Public Policymakers
As a responsible company, we strive to be transparent in our approach to public policy. We believe that government alone cannot resolve issues such as climate change and water sustainability, given the scale and complexity of the issues, and that the private sector increasingly has a role to play in helping to develop solutions. We seek to play our part in public policy debates, contributing our expertise and resources as necessary.

Throughout this report, we identify our position in our key focus areas. We support measures that are effective in addressing the core issues of sustainability, efficient in reducing waste, and equitable in their approach. While we are prepared to play our part, we oppose measures that single out individual products or industries, such as soft drink taxes or bans on bottled water.

We meet directly with officials and policymakers as well as work through industry associations such as the American Beverage Association, Refreshments Canada, and the Union of European Beverages Associations. All such engagement is subject to our Code of Business Conduct and is closely monitored.

In the U.S., our employee-funded Political Action Committee (PAC), a separate legal entity, contributed $326,750 to political entities. These contributions are distributed in a non-partisan manner and disclosed appropriately. In Canada, contributions are made only through the industry association Refreshments Canada. In Europe, we do not make political contributions.
