Water initiatives at Coca Cola • Water Stewardship at Coca Cola: Protect, Reduce, Recycle & Replenish water used in the operations • Water Footprint: understand and manage water use across the supply chain Source: Accenture UNCG Studie 2010
Water Footprint - components Grey water: volume of water is required to dilute pollutants to such an extent that the quality of the water remains at or above agreed water quality standards Blue water: volume of surface and groundwater consumed as a result of the production of a good or service Green water: volume of rainwater evaporated during the production process
Water Stewardship and Water Footprinting Total WFP for a 0,5l PET regular Coke, produced in the Netherlands: ~35l
Water Footprint of Sugar Source: Product Water Footprint Assessments, The Coca Cola Company & The Nature Conservancy 2010
Sustainability assessments drive focus to impacts and action • 6 countries/ 10 regions • 50% of total European beet sugar use • Objective: • To assess water footprint impacts • To locate sustainability risks • To guide business action
Assessing the impacts within a watershed Quelle: Product Water Footprint Assessments, The Coca Cola Company & The Nature Conservancy 2010
Assessing blue water footprint sustainability Quantity issue? Share of beet?
Assessing grey water footprint sustainability Quality issue? Share of beet? 15
European topline results Blue WFP • 4 / 10 no quantity issues and low beet impacts • 2 / 10 not confirmed due to lack of data, but unlikely to have major quantity issue or impacts • 2 / 10 severe issues and/or severe share of beet growing Grey WFP: • Widespread phosphor issues, but no direct link to beet • Widespread nitrate issues, but role of beet might be overstated
Business action • Focus action on ‘hotspot’ areas identified: • Engage suppliers • Understand local realities • Discuss practical water sustainability response plans • Define areas of collaboration • Leverage best practice: • Share best practice within supply chain • Leverage best practice across industry • Support supplier-owned initiatives
Summing up… • A good method to show where to act if you take a holistic approach to water protection: Identifying hot spots! • Methodology requiring water quantity data on riverbasin level (might not be available) • Young science requiring more reality-checks (e.g. nitrate leaching) • Industry response on field-levelrequired
