The Coca-Cola HBC Foundation has approved flood-relief grants totalling €1.55 million in Greece, Nigeria, Poland, Romania, Hungary and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

The Foundation is dedicated to supporting the communities in which we operate, building on our long-standing tradition of community action, led by our people.

2024 has been another year of extreme weather events across the globe, including in our territories. Already, it is expected to be the hottest year on record and the recent devastating floods in Nigeria and across Central and Eastern Europe highlights the need for us to be ready to support our communities when they need us most.

These grants will support a variety of projects, targeting specific local needs in each country, including:

  • Rebuilding houses and community centres in the village of Thessaly, Greece  
  • Providing food and emergency supplies in Maiduguri, Nigeria  
  • Replacing damaged medical equipment in hospitals in Poland
  • Funding repair works for homes and other assistance projects in Romania, Hungary and Bosnia & Herzegovina

These grants will help to make a real difference to our impacted communities. I want to thank our teams on the ground who are working tirelessly with local NGOs to identify and implement the right projects and bring support where it is most needed.

To provide immediate relief, our teams in the local markets collaborated with governments and NGOs to assist impacted communities, delivering over 270,000 litres of beverages through a network of local charities and municipalities in the days and weeks following the floods. However, it’s clear that more support is needed to help our communities recover and rebuild.
