03 Climate

Preserve our shared environment by driving efficiencies and innovation, so that we create more value with less energy, both inside the business and in our communities.​

responsible consumption and production
The escalating urgency of climate change presents an unprecedented challenge for humanity, underscoring the critical need for collective action. The scientific consensus is clear: to avert the most severe impacts of global warming, a concerted effort to reach net zero emissions globally by 2050 is essential. This ambitious goal is vital to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, beyond which the risks to ecosystems, human health, and economies escalate dramatically. At Equatorial Coca-Cola Bottling Company (ECCBC), with our extensive footprint across Africa, we are acutely aware of our responsibility in this global endeavor. Africa, with its diverse ecosystems and economies, is particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of climate change, from prolonged droughts and extreme weather events to threats to food security and water availability. Over the past years, ECCBC has been proactive in reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions throughout our value chain. Despite making significant progress, we recognize the need for continued and enhanced efforts to contribute to the sustainability of the communities we operate in and the health of the planet.
