Coca Cola European Partners : Investing to support customers and our Net Zero ambition

That's nearly twice as much value as our nearest competitor and we had three of the leading five brands for absolute value growth in our portfolio.

Other important investments include:

• Safety equipment for colleagues still going to their place of work and enhanced digital tools to help colleagues as they work from home
• improved data and analytics so we can plan, forecast and serve customers better
• exploring package-less delivery of our drinks through Lavitand ITS

Over 90% of our GHG emissions are related to the activities of our suppliers, so we're supporting them to set reduction targets, use 100% renewable electricity and share their carbon footprint data with us.

Our ambition is backed up by a three-year €250m investment which will provide targeted financial support to decarbonise our business.

We'll continue to invest in digital systems to enhance customer service, like improved demand forecasting so we have the right products when customers want them.

We'll continue to move away from plastic shrink wrap to cardboardfor our secondary packaging - removing 11,000 tonnes of plastic.

This goal will be supported by the greater use of our innovative KeelClippackaging technology and reducing virgin plastic by using more recycled plastic. We'll also speed up the process of moving to electric vehicles.

But my priority will remain the safety and wellbeing of our people. Restrictions are still in place in many of the countries where we operate, and it is an important as ever that we look after ourselves and each other.

While there may be further challenges ahead, I'm confident that we can overcome them together.
