Inclusion, diversity and equity sits at the heart of our people strategy. We are fostering a culture where everyone's welcome to be themselves, be valued and belong. Our business thrives on the diversity that comes from all our people and a broad range of perspectives and backgrounds.
We want to develop a culture at CCEP with inclusion and diversity at its core. This requires real change throughout the company. We are making progress but we need to do more in our workplace and our communities.

Culture and heritage
We are committed to advancing individuals from underrepresented ethnic groups, with particular focus on increasing representation of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups in Europe. We are doing this by ensuring access to development and growth opportunities, promoting authentic and sustained conversations about race to foster inclusion. We are also determined to make a positive difference by promoting economic development in our local communities, many of which face significant social challenges, including high levels of youth unemployment and social exclusion.

Disability inclusion
As signatories of the Valuable 500 pledge we are demonstrating our commitment to putting disability inclusion on our business leadership agenda. We are working to remove the barriers that prevent people living with disabilities from thriving in the workplace and in our communities.

Gender equality
Promoting gender equality and empowering women continues to be a key priority for CCEP. We aim to support women throughout the business and improve the gender balance in our talent pipelines through a range of training programmes and other initiatives.

LGBT+
Coca-Cola has a longstanding commitment of promoting LGBT+ inclusion and acceptance in our communities. At CCEP we are cultivating a workplace that supports and welcomes all lesbian, gay, bi and trans people and respects gender identity and expression.

Multi-generational workplace
With five generations across our workforce, we are nurturing a respectful environment where people of varied ages work together and learn from each other, without age-based assumptions or stereotyping. We are working to further understand the different generations’ expectations of work and supporting different styles, needs, goals and traits.
