Stakeholder Engagement

Stakeholder engagement

PARTNERING WITH PEOPLE, BUSINESSES AND ORGANISATIONS THAT SHARE OUR COMMITMENT TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE AND HAVE A STAKE IN OUR BUSINESS IS ESSENTIAL FOR OUR SUCCESS

Stakeholder_Engagement_1808x1138 Stakeholder_Engagement_1808x1138

Engaging with our stakeholders strengthens our relationships and helps us make better business decisions and deliver on our commitments.

When introducing new packages or products, developing strategies or setting targets to manage the social and environmental impacts of our operations, we consider what is meaningful and valuable to our stakeholders. This requires understanding our stakeholders’ priorities and expectations.

We strive for long-term partnerships with non-governmental organisations, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders to maximise the impact of community programmes.

For instance, to build trust by operating responsibly and sustainably, and addressing issues that are material for our communities, we engage directly with people in the markets in which we operate, particularly those living in the areas around our bottling operations, and through third-party partnerships.
