Respect for human rights

Coca-Cola HBC respects human rights. We are committed to identifying, preventing and mitigating any adverse human rights impacts in relation to our business activities through human rights due diligence and preventive compliance processes.

Community and stakeholder engagement

We recognize our impact on the communities in which we operate. We are committed to engaging with stakeholders in those communities to ensure that we listen to, learn from, and consider their views as we conduct our business.

Where appropriate, we are committed to engaging in dialogue with stakeholders on human rights issues related to our business. We believe that local issues are most appropriately addressed at the local level. We are also committed to creating economic opportunity and fostering goodwill in the communities in which we operate through locally relevant initiatives.

Vulnerable individuals and communities

We are committed to respecting human rights of all individuals regardless of race, sex, gender identity colour, national or social origin, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, political opinion, who may be at heightened risk of becoming vulnerable or marginalized, including but not limited to migrants, indigenous people, refugees and minorities.

We respect the basic human rights enshrined in the national laws and United Nations Declaration of Human Rights and Human Rights Chapter.

Valuing Diversity and Equal opportunities

We value the diversity of our people and the contributions they make. We have a longstanding commitment to equal opportunity and do not accept any form of discrimination and harassment.

Coca-Cola HBC is an equal opportunities employer, and we are dedicated to maintaining inclusive workplaces that are free from discrimination or harassment based on race, sex, gender identity, colour, national or social origin, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, political opinion or any other status protected by applicable law.

The basis for recruitment, hiring, placement, training, compensation, and advancement at the Company is qualification, performance, skills, and experience. We are committed to equality and to equal remuneration.

Regardless of personal characteristics or status, the Company does not tolerate disrespectful or inappropriate behavior, unfair treatment, or retaliation of any kind. Harassment is unacceptable in the workplace and in any work-related circumstance outside the workplace. These principles apply not only to Company employees but also to the business partners with whom we work. For more details, please see our Inclusion and Diversity and Anti-Harassment Policy.

Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining

We respect our employees' right to join, form or not to join a labor union without fear of reprisal, intimidation, or harassment. Where employees are represented by a legally recognized union, we are committed to establishing a constructive dialogue with their freely chosen representatives. We are committed to bargaining in good faith with such representatives.

Safe and Healthy Workplace

We provide a safe and healthy workplace and comply with applicable safety and health laws, regulations, and internal requirements. We are dedicated to maintaining a productive workplace by minimizing the risk of accidents, injury, and exposure to health risks.

We are committed to engaging with our employees to continually improve health and safety in our workplaces, including the identification of hazards and remediation of health and safety issues.

We are committed to maintaining a workplace that is free from violence, harassment, intimidation and other unsafe or disruptive conditions due to internal and external threats. Security safeguards for employees are provided as needed and will be maintained with respect for employee privacy and dignity.

Slavery, Forced Labor and Human Trafficking

We prohibit the holding of any person in slavery or servitude, the use of all forms of forced, bonded or compulsory labor and the engagement in any form of human trafficking.

Child Labor

We comply with all local laws on the minimum age of employment, as provided in the ILO Convention 138. We prohibit the hiring of individuals that are under 18 years of age for positions in which hazardous work is required, as provided for in ILO Convention 182.

Land tenure, water resources and environmental impacts

We are committed to ensuring minimal impact on the environment, particularly avoiding impacts that may also result in increased risk to human rights such as access to water, sanitation, and clean environments. As a major buyer of several agricultural commodities, we source our ingredients via third parties and we are committed to buy sustainably certified crops, thus supporting and promoting the protection of the land rights of local farmers and communities.
