Human Rights
Respect for human rights is fundamental to the sustainability of the global Coca-Cola system and the communities in which we operate. At Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), we are dedicated to promoting an environment where everyone who works in our operations and within our supply chain is treated with dignity and respect.
Our Human Rights policy
CCEP's Human Rights Policy aligns with international human rights principles contained in the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the International Labor Organization's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, and the United Nations Global Compact. The Directive applies to the CCEP, the companies it owns, the companies in which it holds a minority stake and the entities it manages.
In 2021, we revised our Human Rights Policy to reflect CCEP's expanded focus and the specifics of our new Australia, Pacific and Indonesia (API) business areas. In the course of this, we have included land ownership, water resources and environmental impacts.
