The Coca-Cola Company

Coca-Cola targets aligning Scope 1-3 emissions with a 1.5°C trajectory by 2035 (2019 baseline) and net-zero by 2050, against an industry benchmark where Scope 3 agricultural and packaging emissions dominate and peers face tightening SBTi scrutiny plus regulatory carbon costs. Initiatives such as $84 million annual spending on regenerative sugarcane and corn programs in Brazil and the US, renewable solar/wind installations at European bottling plants, electrified Asian logistics fleets, and bio-based PET development—executed via partners including Raízen, Bayer, CCEP, and Krones—will cut 235,000 mtCO2e annually while lifting yields 12-15% and renewable electricity to well above the current 28%. These steps convert sustainability from cost centre to revenue catalyst by generating $12 million yearly in monetized inset credits, $25 million in energy and input savings, and access to $705 million in green financing, with each $64 million project cohort returning equivalent value over five years. Reputational gains from SBTi-validated progress and 157% water replenishment further mitigate plastic and water controversies while securing low-carbon feedstock resilience.
